Like the Segway, the micro-cycle RYNO is controlled by the position of the driver’s body – slender upright to accelerate and tilted back to reduce. The difference between them is that the micro-cycle is driven by a one wheel.
This kind of scooter came the self-taught engineer Chris Hoffmann back in 2006, when he saw 13-year-old daughter to sketch one-wheeled scooter which she`d seen in a video game. Now, after six prototypes later, the RYNO is finally finished.
All RYNO micro-cycles are built and assembled in Beaverton, Oregon, using the highest quality materials and components.
There is a custom-built steel frame, LED headlights, 12V DC power plug, At-rest bumpers, an adjustable seat for different riders and needs, in the construction of RYNO. Also two high output SLA batteries, which offer up to 10 miles of travel.
The RYNO is outfitted with a full-size motorcycle tire, offering all the grip and traction you need to ride RYNO safely. The tread is best suited for pavement, but also functions on tile, carpet, and other varied surfaces – so you can drive everywhere. This 240-millimeter-wide motorcycle tire usually found on “Harley-Davidson”`s – as you know there are ones of the largest tires in the personal transportation market which give it exceptional gripping on wet roads, so RYNO is completely sealed to allow it to operate in wet wether.
RYNO sets weight limits for rider safety and to reduce the risk of damage to the machine. A rider must not be less than 100 lbs. (45 kg). The maximum payload (which includes rider and all cargo) for the micro-cycle is 260 lbs. (117 kg). The total weight of any handlebar cargo plus any additional attachments hanging from the handlebar should not exceed 10 lbs. (4.5 kg).
The company said that RYNO can be parked next to the bike rack, on the sidewalk or anywhere a bike can park. Also they recommend that is better to check local regulations prior to use in public areas, generally there are not state prohibitions exist in the United States.
RYNO micro-cycle is available only in red color.
