The prototype of this futuristic motorcycle created by Bombadier Recreational Products ( a know jet ski brand ) uses the gyroscopic technology, just like the Segway, in order to rock to by itself and be able to travel on a single wheel. The little front wheel acts like stabilizer when we stop or travel under the 20 km/H.

The Bombardier Embrio is powered by an hydrogen battery that emits only water as residue of the electric motor that pushes his main wheel.

We can control the Embrio with the accelerator and brakes placed in the handlebar.
