Not much of a unicyclist, but this is really cool. Would be very interesting to see this mass produced, though I don’t actually think it would be to very viable as even in the video demonstration it is a bit odd to use and not very predictable without a good amount of practice.
What seems to be the coolest thing to me though is it goes sideways. I would love to get hold of this and play with it.
From a technology stand point this is amazing to see much like the segway, but better. Again I doubt it will make it commercially, but is a good stepping stone towards more interesting things down the road. So the question is what do you think it would be like if this was sold commercially and got popular?
