Self-balancing Unicycle

While learning to ride a unicycle it is hard to balance. The electric unicycle was created for those that want to ride a unicycle but don't have the balance to ride one. The pedals are fixed in the down position. It has a motor that spins the wheel.  There are two types of SBU's or Electric Uni's. The Single-axis only balances forward and backwards, so the rider has to control the side to side balancing. The Two-axis SBU balances in all directions.
A rider just has to lean forward on the SBU to go forward. Although these are really cool and would be easy to ride they cannot move backwards and are slightly harder to steer.
