Bombardier’s Embrio Advanced Concept is a one-wheeled recreational and commuting vehicle touted to offer a whole new experience on the road. The hydrogen fuel cell powered prototype features include infrared night vision, active suspension, sensors, and gyroscopes that can balance one or more passengers. |
To move the Embrio, you use an accelerator trigger on the left handlebar and a brake trigger on the right. The Embrio was designed by Bombardier internal designers as a guess at what transportation in the year 2025 might look like.
The vehicle is made of lightweight materials, like aluminum, magnesium and nylon. It weighs 360 pounds. The Quebec-based company also builds Rotax karts, Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Bombardier ATVs, Sea-Doo sport boats and Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines. Some observers have speculated the Embrio could be a Segway killer, but the makers of Segway aren’t so sure.
For now the Embrio is just a concept, so you can put your credit card away.
