The scooter of the future
The creator of Ryno, engineer Chris Hoffman, believes it could be a valuable tool for security guards and people in other professions, where patrols of relatively large areas are required. The driving style takes some time to get used to, however, drivers don't struggle that much to get wind of it.
Although Hoffman, does not envisage Ryno replacing other types of transport, believes it would be an invaluable addition to existing media. The electric battery for the upcoming model will be sufficient for distances of approx 50 kilometers, making it the perfect transportation gadget for short rides.
And for those wondering who would buy it, several orders have already been placed for the unicycle in question, which is currently manufactured by him and its price reaches 25.000 dollars. When it goes into regular production, its price will range from 3,5 thousands of dollars, which will be relatively competitive for scooters.
