Well, the day has come, a day that you have been waiting for, a day that will go down in history, no world peace has not come - SBUs are ready to ship! We are totally excited to bring the SBU to the world!
We have very limited inventory...
We spent the evening at the Unicycle Noobs event at the Portland waterfront Friday Night. It’s an event put on by a Portland unicycle group call the Unicycle Bastards to teach noobies how to unicycle....
Okay, little girls that have been riding unicycles for years can learn it in a few minutes.
David Martschinske and I were invited to bring some SBUs to the Unicycling Club at Pleasant Valley Middle School...

What is the SBU (Self Balancing Unicycle)?
The SBU is a revolutionary gyro stabilized, accelerometer driven, battery powered, clean “green” vehicle. This cutting edge transportation vehicle is affordable, reliable, environmentally clean, and totally fun. The SBU is easy to ride, it takes the average rider about an hour to learn. The SBU controls the forward and backward balance while the rider balances left and right. It’s a unique blend of machine and human balancing. The rider controls the speed by leaning forward or backward to speed up or stop. There is no need to pedal, in fact there are no crank arms, just foot rests. The SBU stays upright by utilizing advanced electronics including accelerometers and gyroscopes with sophisticated balancing algorithms. It’s truly an experience like no other.
