driving to work this morning and saw a chap driving one of these, dont know why but just seemed really weird, followed him for a bit and it was fairly
nippy,
Are those stabilisers that come down on the sides? What happens if he pushes through between two lanes of cars at traffic lights and then has to stop?
how does it balance/steer I wonder, as it has a car seat fitted so you can't throw it around with your body weight..

took me quite a while to find it online, goes by the name of a monotracer or ecobike, couple of movies on youtube,
youtube - old jeremy c vid.
youtube - thought so.
what happens when you stop at the lights?? How does it stay upright??
They tested it in Evo last month, and the owner was a bit too enthusiastic and put it onto its side without the wheels down... Ooops they seemed to like it though.
2 wheeled audi R8?
Lovely things. They come from not far away from here. Two of them passed me on the autoroute the other day, very quickly and well cranked over. Seriously impressive.
Now that looks like a toy 
I would guess that the stabilisers drop below a certain speed. Not hard technology wise and seems to make sense.
On that first video Clarkson says it's 50 grand
