This seems like I can lug around inside buildings and whatnot, unlike a bike. I don't trust biking to a lot of places, because cretins will take whatever they can: the wheels, the steering wheel, anything that isn't bolted on, really.
- apendleton 13y agoYou could get a decent folding bike (a Dahon or Brompton) for way less money than that, and folded, they're not much bigger than this thing. Plus they're street-legal in most places, likely unlike this thing, and you get the exercise benefits of riding.
- rdouble 13y agoI agree that a Brompton is a better choice. It folds up to about the same size as this uni-wheel thing. However, they are pretty expensive. Mine was pretty close to $1800. I think the cheapest one (1 speed, no lighting system) is $1000.
- Dewie 13y agoThat's a very neat concept, cheers. I can imagine that that would have been very convenient for the commute I had this last spring - bicycle to the train station, take the train to campus, and then bicycle through the campus.
