I can't wait to get my hands on one of these things. I wonder if Target or anybody will be carrying them.

Later,
Chrome...

What's up with those? I don't see any training-wheels, don't tell me they actually ride on just 2 wheels?

Yep. Gyro, dude... those are gonna be fun.

edit: Wow, I just checked out the video at that tower link... they look pretty fuckin' cool. Slow, but cool. I think those are gonna kick ass with some speedy mods.

Oh shit. I just downloaded the manual and it looks like there is no control for acceleration, which makes sense I guess. You just turn it on and it goes. I figured they would have had the gyro on at all times so it would stand up even when it wasn't moving... then you could control acceleration and steering just like a Bit. That would have been way better. Oh well, I guess that'll keep me from buying more than one.

or until you figure out how to do that shit lol.
my guess is the rear wheel is the gyro?

That would be extremly tricky driving without stopping.

Wouldn't want to make those too fast, it'd be out of control, but that could be fun.
