Inventor's dream of electric bike brought to life

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator

Ben Gulak's on a roll - literally. The 18-year old Toronto whiz has invented a silent, electrically powered motorcycle with two side-by-side wheels giving the impression of a single tire. He calls his invention the Uno.

"It's similar to the Segway in that it has a couple of gyros and neat electrical sensors," Gulak told the Daily News. "Its top speed is 15 mph, but right now it's in the prototype stage. It's all a matter of time and scale. It'll go faster."
