Is it a bike?

Who will rise to the challenge, to build and ride the pedal-powered segway? Good luck!

:roll: Wouldn't it just be a two wheeled unicycle? As I understand the Segway uses a gyroscopic type effect to keep itself balanced, pretty hard to keep the pedals spinning enough to get this result. Also steering wouldbe pretty tricky.
I've seen two wheeled unis heck I've seen a three wheeled one. Cool looking but nothing special, just more frictionon the road to try to turn.
If someone can build one and have it work like a true Segway, I'd be surprised! :shock:

You and me both. :wink:

And they could call a "two-wheeled uni" a bi-cycle, and a "three-wheeled uni" a tri-cycle. By jove, I think you're on to something. :mrgreen: Gary

Oh SCHNAP!!

That's pretty close. It needs some freewheel bits and face plant...er, braking system to make turns with. :?

That's the coolest thing I've seen so far this week.

now thats thinking outside the box. with two wheels it would still be called a bicycle, i guess; just a different configuration of the two wheels. looks like balance could be tricky, bu tfun to master.
