I am sure he is wrong, but I would like to see the technology involved in a one wheeled vehicle that can right itself if it is leaned too far to the side. That much be pretty tricky.

And the fact that the reporter does not know how a segway works is reasonable. They have only been available for a decade or so for him to figure out how to read the data on segways. How quickly do you expect him to get the data? 10 years is not enough.

Lastly, the last Ryno that I saw actually had two thin wheels next to each other. It looked like a one wheeler, but was not one. This one is a one wheeler. I am guessing the turns are from lean alone. Interesting...
