The EMBRIO: super Segway?

It’s not in production yet nor is a date given for when it might be, but the EMBRIO would be one very cool way of getting around. It is a one wheel, hydrogen fuel cell powered machine which is self balanced and capable of speeds beyond 35 mph. Damn thing looks like it just dropped out of a sci-fi movie. I hope it sees production and that it’s not obscenely expensive.

The Bombardier EMBRIO Advanced Concept is a one-wheeled recreational and commuting vehicle that promises a whole new experience on the road. Aimed at the 18 to 45 age group, this advanced concept prefigures the kind of user-friendly, minimalist vehicles we might be seeing - and using - on our urban, suburban and country roads in the year 2025.
