Uno (dicycle)

[3][4] After seeing major smog pollution caused by heavy use of small motor vehicles, he decided he wanted to create an eco-friendly alternative.

[6] Other early problems, including a series of electrical fires, arose, and he was then joined by California robotics expert Trevor Blackwell, who had previously designed a eunicycle, a single-wheeled gyro-stabilized vehicle, as well as a two-wheeler that resembled a Segway PT, to iron out the initial problems.

[6] Blackwell and Gulak refined the Uno's gyro control system so the machine would properly balance and move smoothly.

[6] Gulak then used the revised plans to develop a prototype vehicle with the help of engineer Werner Poss, Veltronics Ltd. of Brampton, Ontario, John Cosentini of Motorcycle Enhancements, a custom motorcycle builder in Oakville, Ontario, and research partner Jason Morrow.

[5][6][7][8] The Uno was unveiled at the Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show in 2008,[9] and won a Top-10 prize on Popular Science's list of 2008 Invention Awards.
