Uno Motorcycles
The UnoCycle motorcycle looks "too cool" to be environmentally friendly. Yet this state of the art motorcycle runs on battery power. And it's still in the development stages, at least two working prototypes Uno Motorcycle have been completed.
Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it’s so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.
The Gyroscope technology is similar like Segway, It balances on two wheels that present right next to each other. When you push your body weight forward, the Uno goes forward. In the same way it goes backward when rides push his body weight backward.
It is very simple to operate that there are no more controls in Uno except for an on-off switch. The gyroscope gives automatic instruction to the ECU how much to acceleration should be, and how much the proper amount of power is delivered to the Uno wheels through electric motors, one for each wheel.
