POWER – Ryno Microcycle
Words: Violet
If we’re being completely honest with you Gentlemen, (which by the way we always are), we’re not entirely sure what to make of this latest form of transport.
The Ryno Microcycle (surely they should have called it the Ryno Monocycle?), has a bit in common with your regular motorcycle. First of all, it clearly looks like one…well half of one at least. That said, however, you’re hardly going to be channelling your inner James Dean or Steve McQueen atop one of these not-so bad boys toys. Despite what the handlebars might suggest, it is actually controlled by leaning forward to accelerate and backwards to break. Is it just us, or does this sound like an accident waiting to happen? Well, no actually – as it’s top speed is a pulse racing 10 mph.
All jokes aside though, we can definitely see the benefits of this electric machine – an eco friendly mode of transport, ideal for exploring the urban jungle. Whether a flash-in-the-pan fad or something that will catch on, we’re not entirely sure, but the Ryno Microcycle is definitely worth a look and in fairness would probably make for quite a fun boy’s toy…if you can afford a fleet of them and have a quiet road near by, or indeed a friend with a house big enough for racing them indoors.
