Ben Gulak, 18, from Toronto, Canada, named his creation the Uno and the vehicle, which looks like half a motorbike, works like a Segway.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=562726&in_page_id=1811"><P>
It's powered by electricity and uses gyroscopic technology to make it move. Two gyros have been fitted – one to move forward and reverse, and a second for turning.

It has an on/off switch and Gulak says riders simply have to lean forward to start moving. To slow down or stop, it's a case of leaning back.

Gulak says he turns heads whenever he's riding the Uno, which he designed himself with the help of a 3D software tool called Google SketchUp.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=562726&in_page_id=1811"><P>
There aren't any current production plans for the vehicle, which is on show at the 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto and it's the only place it can be seen, unless you spot Gulak taking his Uno for a spin.
