I remember seeing that DD episode with the guy from Waterloo university (?) and I think it's a great idea. Give it a good price, and market it properly to the urban commuters and I think that could be a gold mine. Electric powered motorcycle...efficient, quiet, and easy to purchase would be a very attractive package to some IMHO.
The RYNO on the other hand, I'm sure it has a great use somewhere, but personally I don't think I could ride a unicycle in this city's traffic. BTW how does it fall under Transport Canada...electric scooter style? Throw some pedals on and do whatever you want?
