Sort of like a one-wheeled Segway, but with no steering controls, the self-balancing Urban Glider features a 16-inch wheel and weighs 11 kg. It puts your body in control of the vehicle. Leaning forward or backward while standing will move and slow down the Urban Glider while twisting and leaning make it steer in directions.

With fold-out platforms for feet and knee pads, the Urban Glider makes things easier to carry it around when not in use. However, it doesn’t feature a seat for comfortable riding. The electric unicycle can carry up to 117 kg of weight and has the ability to speed up at 20 km/h.
