New Uno Cycle is Built by Teenager.

180 THINKING – Amazingly Ben Gulak, who is 18, has been developing his answer to pollution and gridlock since he was a child.

The electric bike looks like a unicycle, but the Uno has two wheels side by side and uses gyroscopic technology to stay upright. You ride it by leaning forwards to accelerate to speeds of 25mph, and backwards to slow down. And it is light enough to be taken indoors and charged up.

Mr Gulak, from Canada, said: “I was inspired to make the bike after visiting China a few years ago and seeing all the smog. They all drive little bikes that are really polluting and I wanted to make something to combat that.”

We like your thinking Ben.
