Here is more information regarding the UNO III, including a couple of videos about the bike, one of which shows it on the road and unfolding when the speed picks up. It is a real Transformer. ;D

The Uno has returned to the spotlight. It is currently running on SLAs and the designer is hoping that a "strategic" partner will come along to allow the bike to be powered by Li batteries. Read more here:

The Uno III is apparently now for sale. However it helps if you have access to English pounds. Here is the sale offer and another short interesting video about the vehicle. It appears that the fellow who makes these things won a TV inventor contest (say whatever happened to those contests, I thought they were kind of neat) that provided him $1,500,000 for a 20% of his company to get his vehicle fully developed and on the road.
Here is a link to the ad and the video: http://www.firebox.com/video/3182 (http://www.firebox.com/video/3182)
