Ryno cycleOregon based Ryno Motors introduced a stylish one-wheeled electric cycle capable of up to 20 mph and 30 miles range using LiFePO4 batteries.  The 36V 32Ah battery has a lock and carrying handle for removal from the cycle.   The micro-cycle appears to use an active balancing method similar to a Segway although it has a twist throttle and brake.  More videos and pictures on earthtechling.com and youtube.com.  Estimated retail is $3500 – a very reasonable alternative for short urban commutes.  The company is not in production yet, but is working with Washing State University-Vancouver on development and testing.
