This standing bike concept, designed specifically for children, features “six condensers that store energy created from pedaling — can be called upon when needed.” More pics after the jump.
There’s a display describing the relationship between the amount of energy created and stored. This provides the child with real time data encouraging them to pedal faster.
The unicycle just got high-tech with this self-balancing model, which “can be steered by leaning left to right and uses Segway-style gyroscopes to power you forwards and backwards.” Video after the break.

Unfortunately, it is not an actual, playable instrument—which is just as well..it appears to be an accurate replica of his favorite guitar.
