umm, I would like to know who dilayla dilayla is because I was on staff in the studio this was done and double D doesnt ring a bell... As for the questions it would work on a segway gyroscope type technology... It is a viable concept I promise you this. As for Double D.. Dont post peoples work as your own.... Maybe try doing something yourself...

It's a really great piece, but as Erik says, it seems to come from Bombardier's studio

It's not my concept . Just I like it. Kancept mean I think If you can , They accept .So kancept = can+accept . If You can't ,They dont accept. Kantcept:can't+ accept . My kancept is now Kantcept :)

I ride a motorcycle and this thing would be scary to ride. Plus how do you turn? Unicyclists have to do that rocking back and forth thing to turn in a small space.

I imagine you would lean in the direction of turn, like the Segway.

even if this seems like a scary thing, i believe it will work.

how is this practical? what type of power would it run on, and for how long/far? is this just an inner-city solution? Like the segway, the application for this vehicle is hard to identify

Looks cool, would be fun, it would have to be built with medical field certified electronics to be any kind of safe, the kind that certifies pacemakers and the like. It will never happen though, look what happened to the segway, after 3 years, a glitch pops up, and they all get recalled, if a glitch was to occur on this thing, you wouldn't just get a broken wrist, you'd be dead twice over, once when you fell, and the second as scores of cars behind you ran you over. To bad though.

This bike has 3 wheels if you look sloely at the first picture. When riding the conecpt is basically the driver is leaning forward allowing all 3 wheels to be on the ground. Its not a unicycle
This bike could very well work. I wish people (especially those claiming to be designers, people who consume facts for translation into products)would THINK and find out before they just write. This Kancept wrocks.

Is there a bennefit to one wheel or is it just "weird for the sake of weird"?

If you need to stop really fast , you can do that but after that you kiss big ass.

this product already exists, and IS for sale. It runs on the same principal as those personal scooter things.

There was an animated show some years ago called "Mask", where the son of the leader had a robot, which when needed would turn into that.

It looks good. The braking and acceleration would be under a microprocessor's control, like a Segway. But I would be definitely worried about safety...

Rickenbacker
says
Back and forth I can see a gyro connected to the motor correcting it, but how would it balance side to side?

Rickenbacker, never drove a bike did you?
Balancing side to side is done by the person who sits on it.

tonnie:
blanacing on a bike is done by the rider is it? try balancing a bike while it is standing still, that is all the balancing you can do. a bike is balanced by gyroscopic recession, you lean the way you want to turn and the bike is forced to adjust its balance to stay under you, and it turns in the process. pay attention in 8th grade science.
Alan, Segways don't turn from leaning. You have to twist a control on the handle bar to turn a Segway. It goes forward and reverse from leaning, but does not turn in this way.

Very neat concept but I kinda fail to see what use this would have that I already can't use my bike for. Especially since this is likely far more expensive than a bike.

Really, make a Segway with more power and collapsible steering post, and you won't need to balance this thing.

Great design, but how do u balance with just one wheel? hmmm... well, am not a motorbike person, but i would love to buy it if u tell me how to balance.
Isn't this missing a front wheel?
IS it driving o one Wheel?? How fast?
it would be helpful to show someone using it, otherwise, it is unclear.

*carfully at the first picture*
"The landing gear retracts when the speed reaches 20 km/h." One wheel and gyroscopes. Excel 17 apparently doesn't know how to read.
How do you brake (hard)?

typo: recession = precession. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession
Seat does not look comfortable...
where are the handle bars,and front wheel?????
jess: they broke off during shipping.
