Exactly! Imagine that gyroscopic system on a real bike? Even a squid like me could do jumps and slides at pro level.

Now, I want one of those... Anyone up on the legalities of these in Australia, ie the radio band etc?

2.4 Ghz is the ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band and is legal in every country except the US (military grabbed it there). Dunno how they get with the RC bike, short range I assume. Bluetooth works on 2.4 Gig, much to the disgust of many it saturated the region so ISM has now moved up to 4.8Gig.

I had a problem with a factory in the US where our system was being interfered with by bluetooth, so we wanked up the volume. Tough tittie we were legally correct.

Hmmm... the rider never stands up, wobbles a whole lot, lands on his head a whole lot but never seems to worry about landing on his head....

Yeah, reminds me of Turtle too.
