Urban commuters, get ready, because your new transportation device awaits you! This unique ride takes the form of a single-wheeled, self-balancing electric scooter, and goes by the name of RYNO, or “Ride Your New Opportunity”.

The RYNO can get up to 20 MPH on its single 25″ tire and can turn on a dime (OK, so it’s a big dime, but the turning radius is under 3 feet). The battery takes about an hour and a half for a full charge, which will let riders travel for approximately 20 miles, and the 125 pound bike is small enough to go onto buses, trains, and inside buildings. The RYNO can also handle riders up to 280 pounds, so it’s not just for small or skinny people.
