This innovative electric motorbike design comes from Canadian inventor Ben Gulak, aged 18. At first look it seems like some kind of motorized unicycle but it does in fact have two wheels that are aligned side-by-side. The motorbike weighs 54.4 KG and is so simple it doesn’t even have an on/off switch. To get moving riders have to lean forward to accelerate it and to slow down or reverse they just lean back.
This current build has a top speed of 25mph and would be expected to last around 2.5 hours. Ben's idea was to create a green alternative for urban commuters as it could be a great electrical alternative to the use of petrol/diesel cars.
Ben is currently looking for investors to his Uno project and has appeared in the Dragon's Den series on TV. Check out the video below to see his pitch to the Dragon’s:
