"Thanks to gyros, accelerometers and sophisticated control
mechanisms, remaining upright on a two-wheeled vehicle is no longer
quite the balancing act it might once have been, even when at a
standstill. Visions of future mobility like Honda's
U3-X take such ideas in whole new directions, quite literally, by including multi-directional capabilities, and concepts such as
Supple
go even further still by ditching wheels altogether in favor of balls.
It's this freedom of movement that inspired a group of students from the
Charles W Davidson College Of Engineering at San Jose State University
to begin work on the ambitious Spherical Drive System (SDS) electric
motorcycle."
