DM at it again...
Was browsing an article from July on DailyMail and I came across the usual stupidity exhibited by the infamous DM reporters:

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...

I also believe the Ryno uses handlebar steering, IE: Steer right, go left, steer left, go right, AND leaning. Also, you're totally right, even after 10 years, I still don't know how to use my mobile correctly. Surely it has more features than the oh-so-hard to learn Segway, right?

Now that you mention it, you are probably right, and I am confusing the Ryno with the Uno.
You say that the Ryno uses handlebar steering. How do you know. Even if the handlebar does turn, how do we know what it means? I will believe it when I see it work. Like the Uno, there are lots of videos of prototypes in limited situations, but no real beta kind of tests, mostly just alpha kind of tests. I would like to see one up close, but I have seen too many aliens and people jumping into and out of moving trains on the internet to believe that much of what I see there. These are notable devices that have my curiosity. Not unlike the robin, or the winglet, or any one of several others. But I learn and understand with my fingers, not so much my eyes and ears. If I can touch it, it is real to me. If I see a cool video, not so much. Quote:
