Uno

Uno is a gyroscopically balanced electric cycle that grows a third wheel at high speeds. Of course it is. Actually a dicycle, with a pair of parallel wheels, the Uno III is small enough to fit in an elevator and keep in your apartment. At slow speeds, up to 15 MPH, one rides in Uno mode with incredible agility and tiny turning radius. Let's just call it Ocean Drive mode.

At higher speeds a third wheel deploys, while moving, transforming the Uno III into a street bike. Speed wise it's more of a scooter, topping out at just 30 MPH and traveling about 35 miles on a single charge. Want one?
