In NYC, there are some areas with smooth pavements, wider sidewalks, fewer crowds. Then you turn a corner and it's the opposite. A device like this would be great (I think) because I could hop off and carry it when I stumble upon unfavorable conditions. |

Honda U3-X
I came across this
Now I think it's best to not invest in anything else until I do a thorough search. And as suggested earlier, there should be a convention with all of these. They're quite expensive and probably sans a return policy after use (understandably so). |

YikeBike
I'm leaning (no pun intended) toward the YikeBike. It seems to have more stability and control due to sitting and holding something vs. balancing while standing with no handles.
And I could be wrong, but the YB also seems more promising as a company. They've expanded impressively in the years I've watched them. A YikeBike rep called me while in NYC to try one, but we never connected for a trial That's the only way I'll plop down $4k+ for one, so hopefully another rep will contact me. |
