Ryno - working prototype single-wheel motorcycle (video)

Ryno
Ryno Motors Company has developed the world's first self-balancing electric single-wheel bike. The machine can reach speeds of 48 km / h and drive on a single charge of about 40 km. Multiple sensors constantly monitor the balance of the motorcycle during the movement and control system is ready to seize control of the bike if the driver ignores the warning and, for example, exceeds the maximum permissible speed or bends the car under a dangerous angle. There is also a system for monitoring the battery status (LiFePo4, by the way). When the battery level drops to 25%, the system warns the driver signal is yellow, up to 5% - red. It is assumed that the cost model is $ 3500.
