Cheers pal.

Hmmm like the idea but don't like it personally, wonder how long the battery would last and when braking hard, cornering ect....

This.

Looks like a giggle, but fundamentally flawed.

Once again seems like peeps are missing the point, it's a toy, not a bike, it's a unicycle with an electric motor? Where is the confusion? Am I the only one with eyes?

I'm assuming it operates similarly to a segway, under acceleration leaning forwards under braking leaning back, neither of which will be done with great force, or you will end up bruised or broken.

My bike is a toy.

A little bit of acceleration an d deceleration is nothing compared to a tumble backwards not the floor, that's just a matter of tilting the glass to compensate for the velocity change.j

Wrong it is rather difficult on a bike! Try it!

I do remember sailing once off the coast of Sweden in force 7 gales, we hit one wave so hard that my entire cuppa soup left the mug in one peice and hit the ceiling. No amount of tilting would have stopped it! Unless of course I suddenly developed cat like reflexes and in a split second inverted the mug then righten it thus not spilling a drop, but not likely IMO.

Mine too but you all seem to be comparing the two, and not noticing that they are not the same?

I've noticed, one is much worse without increasing the fun factor.

I can do it with a McDonald's cup but then that has a lid.

It makes my Movember moustache look like a fantastic idea.
