The Kiwano KO1 electric scooter is a self-balancing single wheeled ride built to carry you through urban landscapes with ease.

Self-balancing methods of transportation have been around for around a decade now, but never before has it been so cool.
What are the Kiwano KO1 specs?

The reviewers at Electrek highlighted just how unusual and engaging the single-wheel riding experience is.
Is the KO1 a good urban commuter?
