Teen Builds ‘Green’ Motocycle
May 01, 2008 12:45 PM
A Canadian teenager made headlines this week when he showcased a “green” motorcycle resembling a unicycle at a motorcycle show in Toronto.
The all-electric Uno, which looks like a one-wheeled motorcycle, runs on two side-by-side wheels. Riders accelerate by leaning forward and brake by leaning back.
Ben Gulak, 18, told Motorcycle Mojo magazine that a trip to a smoggy China prompted his work on an electric motorcycle.
"The smog was so thick, we never saw the sun," Gulak told the magazine.
Americans don’t have it that bad, but we’ve still got our own problems. See a report of the most air-polluted cities that was released today.
