Segway with a saddle: Taurus Concept by Erik Lanuza


By Sama Team | May 13, 2010


The Sun has come, time to post about unicycles and look alike! In February we posted about Skoota electric scooter by Stuart Emmerson but the 'Unicycle Series of Posts' started with eniCycle: electric unicycle for lazy circus clowns in August 2009; in September, we introduced you to the YikeBike: YikeBike: high wheel bicycle of the 21st century, and in October, it was about the Honda U3-XHonda U3-X: motorised unicycle from Japan. Today's post is about the Taurus Concept by Erik Lanuza!

The Taurus is an electric-powered self-balancing motorcycle controlled by the body balance of the rider. It's basically a Segway with a saddle and it looks very stylish; with a big advantage over the Segway, you don't have to stand up the whole time. Just like the Segway, you can control the speed by leaning forward or backward and change the direction by steering wheel.

For the moment, the Taurus Concept is still a concept, let's hope it will be produced eventually. One or two wheels? This is just for you to decide, read our posts about these 'Unicycles' and let us know which one is your favorite!

Is Segway aware of all these concepts designers are making? Maybe Segway should choose one of them and produce it.

Stand up the whole time on a Segway is stupid.

Just like the Skoota, I like the headlight, is it a LED blue halo too?

Nice design but I still think it’s dangerous to use it in a city full of crazy car drivers :roll:

Like I said yesterday, I like this new one but my favorite is still the YikeBike but the Taurus comes in second, just before the Honda U3-X and the Skoota :)

This one is like riding a motorcycle. I doubt it will ever be produced.
