The "Solowheel" has hit Dutch roads: it's a one-wheel electric device that you can take with you like a bag and use whenever you like. It can take you, for example, from the train station to work at a speed of 16 kilometres an hour. It has maximum range of 20 kilometres.
The Solowheel is easy to operate: you lean forward a bit to move and backwards to stop. Driving the device is also intuitive: you turn by leaning to the right or left. It just takes a bit of practice to remain stable on the single wheel.
The Solowheel has been presented as the ultimate sustainable means of transport. But is it? The device is made of plastic. It contains environmentally-unfriendly batteries and the energy from the charger isn't necessarily green. But the Dutch importer says the Solowheel will encourage people to leave their cars at home, and that's more important than all the objections.
