iSlide flattens the unicycle

Why wreck your knees on a bicycle when you can wreck your whole body flying off an iSlide? This new spin on an old board incorporates self-balancing gyroscope technology and electric propulsion via hydrogen fuel cell. The result is a one-wheeled plank that's not only safer than it looks but apparently just as much fun as you'd hope. It's also light and easy to take on the bus or tube. Still in the prototype stages, but nonetheless an exciting development. [Camille]
