The Embrio concept from Bombadier Recreational Products
(better known for their more conventional forms of transport
like jetskis) uses gyroscopic technology to balance itself
and the rider on one central wheel. The smaller front
wheel acts to stabilize the Embrio when stopped or traveling
below 12mph.
The Bombadier Embrio was designed as an insight into the
future of transport circa 2025. Bombadier drew on its
experience with recreational vehicles when it came to
design of the Embrio and it is intended for people who
enjoy transport, this is evident in the styling and the
necessity to lean into turns similar in a similar manner
to a motorcyle rider.
The Bombadier Embrio is powered by a hydrogen
fuel cell emitting only water as a by product driving
an electric motor powering the main wheel.
Control of the Embrio is facilitated by a trigger control
on the left handlebar for acceleration, and a trigger
on the right for braking.
