Antagonistic namecalling doesn’t accomplish a thing except to turn off the very folks you want to get your message to.

Personally, the unicycle looks like a great platform to test various USEFUL technologies. Enjoy it for what it is – a prototype.

A green unicycle! What a grand concept! Almost no one uses REGULAR unicycles, so I am sure that THIS one will be a grand flop! I wonder how many thousands of miles you would have to ride one in order to save more carbon than it took to manufacture it? Look at that HUGE rubber tire! Just imagine all the energy and hydrocarbons that had to be utilized to make it! And the battery – oh yeah – there’s all those chemicals in there that are “bad” for the environment!

“Green” is a power play being perpetrated on the masses by elite power brokers. Wake up! Stop being useful idiots!

You are able to sit down while riding, use your body for controlling and still have your arms free. This is elegant minimalism. A Segway looks like a clumsy Hummer in comparison.
