Flyrad, not your grandmothers Unicycle

Unicyclists look out!  The FlyRad has come to make all 12 of you obsolete.  The vehicle is a unicycle like device that also incorporates roller blades.  you sit on a seat while two thigh pads allow the handlebars to rest.  The roller blades act as front wheels and help steer.  It comes in three different sizes, one for children, teens, and adults.  The Adult version has a 500w motor and a 36v battery, it can hit speeds up to 40mph and travel around 31 miles on a single 4 hour charge.  That is pretty impressive for such a small device.  You can also get a 1,000w motor if you want to go fast enough to ensure that you hurt yourself.  It should be available in early 2011, no price has been set yet. via: gizmag
