This looks like a Unicycle more than a Gyrocycle.
Wow. That's pretty cool. But yeah, more of a unicycle.
it isnt a unicycle because it has two wheels. i guess it can be considered a gyroscope.

Thank you, I just wanted to point out:
"The California robotics expert had built a Eunicycle, a single-wheeled gyro-stabilized vehicle, as well as a two-wheeler that resembles a Segway."
On the picture it is clearly the 2 wheeled version, and the mechanics of it is based on the gyroscope...

So there's no controls. I guess you just lean in the direction you want to go. strange indeed.

Better wear a helmet and full leathers, that's all I'm saying...
It only goes 14 MPH but thats a hell of a fall. Not exactly a low rider.

Impractical design though.
The segway is a much more practical design.
