Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Meta - USA

Location:   Bike Town  A2   

Our self-balancing scooter was designed to go curb hopping and through the sand. It is exceedingly fast. The hardware is from an open source project, and the scooter has lean steering, using a flat titanium spring that we invented. Our clone is also radio controlled!
