Speaking of new toys. I'm taking on a new form of transportation and I'm stoked.
I'm jumping into the developing world of electric unicycles. A couple of my friends have them and use them like crazy. Huge learning curve but after you get it, as my friend puts it, anything you can do standing up, you can do on your ewheel.
Riding it feels like you are in the future. Pretty cool technology too. Essentially, the gyroscope senses wheel when you move front and back and the motor powers up to catch you.
My particular model is capable of 30 mph and 60 mi range. Some models can go 45 mph!?!?
