      These seem to be inherently unstable. Interesting engineering challenge but I think I will stick to a Segue.

        Sure it is unstable, but it is still cool!

            I'll stick to a minimum of 2 wheels, thank you!

                I like 2 wheels as well.

                They don't have to be touching the ground though

                  I still need 4 on the ground, and it need to be 39 year old (or older) sheet metal.
