When Benjamin Gulak was a high school senior in Ontario, Canada, he visited China with his father and witnessed the country’s prevalent smog pollution caused by motor vehicles. As a result of his trip, Gulak wanted to create an eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered automobiles.
He founded BPG Werks and created the UNO, a stylish dicycle reminiscent of motorcycles, complete with wheelchair motors, batteries and gyroscopes. Originally Gulak’s high school science fair project, the UNO was named one of Popular Mechanics‘ Inventions of the Year in 2008.
The third and most recent iteration, the UNO III (in the video above), is the most advanced — the rider can transform the frame from a dicycle to a three-wheeled motorbike, even while in motion. How’s that for mobility?
