This thing really got going fast! Here he's cruising along faster than a sprint. He did tell one guy within earshot of me that there is a speed limiter, else you'd continue to increase in speed until you were parallel to the ground, which would hurt.

Mr. Blackwell and his fabulous balancing unicycle were featured in MAKE Magazine issue #2, and I've been pointed to his work online in the past, probably through an RSS feed. It was cool to get to see him, and my one question for him was whether he was an avid unicyclist who decided to motorize it, or if deciding to build a motorized unicycle was what got him to learn to ride one. It was the latter, and he said he loves projects that add more needs, and require you to learn even more than just what it takes to complete the project itself. Amen.
Before he made the balancing unicycle, he had a Segway-like device. I saw this thing online years ago, and here it is. Magic. It moved as well as a Segway, which is pretty incredible.

The Centaur is a self-balancing, two-wheeled personal electric vehicle for people who have difficulties getting around. It aims to increase independence, self-esteem and social connection by making supported mobility more flexible. Designed for the world we live in, the Centaur fits through standard-sized doorways and under tables and desks, powerfully increasing the freedom of those with mobility difficulties.
Design Age Institute is working with Centaur Robotics Ltd to enhance the way the Centaur communicates with those who use it. The Centaur aims to appeal to both existing wheelchair-users and those who have not considered using a mobility device before.

The Future of Ageing
(July – September 2022)
Curated by Design Age Institute in collaboration with the Design Museum, The Future of Ageing explores how design is transforming the way society can support everyone to age with greater agency and joy.
One thing we all have in common is that we are ageing, and many of us will live into old age. By 2040, more than a quarter of the UK's population will be aged over 60. We are moving towards a future in which the population of older adults will only continue to grow.
The Future of Ageing display celebrates how design can help us reimagine products, services and environments to enhance our experience of living in later life with a selection of prototypes, sketches and research from projects that are being developed by Design Age Institute and its partners.
Among them are 'The Centaur' – a self-balancing, two-wheeled personal electric vehicle for people with difficulties getting around, 'Gita' – a hands-free cargo-carrying robot, the 'Home Office to Age in Place' – created to integrate flexible living and working space for later life, and 'Hearing Birdsong' – a digital 'audioscape' app that uses the sound of birdsong to engage visitors with their hearing health.
The display also presents 'Growing Together' – a long-term participatory project that explores opportunities for an intergenerational garden at the Design Museum, and showcases stories and experiences of later life through two new film commissions as well as a limited edition publication from 'This Age Thing', a community of age advocates.
