Orbis, the one-wheeled Segway-like transportation device

You generally don’t see people on Segways in real-life, as they remain pretty much banned in the locales where they’d have the highest demand.

Well, perhaps the Orbis Urban Mobility Vehicle will have a better shot as mass adoption. Maybe. As you can see, it has one wheel, so it would take up a lot less space than crowded two-wheeled Segways.  It’s also battery powered, so it is environmentally friendly with top speeds of up to 13 mph. It’s also super portable, as the handle can wrap around the wheel, which is pretty cool.
