The UNO III is an awesomely strange beast. It’s an electric bike that automatically contracts itself at low speeds, leaving it rolling entirely on its two back wheels until it picks up the pace again.
It’s not a speedy vehicle, offering only 30MPH tops – half that in its two-wheeled “UNO” mode – and offers only an hour’s travel at that top speed on a full charge but from a fictional standpoint, if it were on par with a petrol-powered streetbike, you’d have a crime fightin’ machine on your hands, even more so with some gadgets and weaponry fitted to it (Micro Missiles Make Motorcycles Magnificent!) and perhaps the option to override the automation of UNO mode.
Any street-level crimefighter, though, may want to give it a more intimidating lick of paint. Orangey red just doesn’t scream “pee yourselves in the face of street justice, evildoers”, does it? Throw in an 80s synth theme to go with it, too. Worked for Street Hawk, right?
The totally non-fictional non-crimefighting UNO III is available at Firebox if you happen to have £8,500 and/or a reckless disregard for money. Seriously, do not use this to pancake the chavs selling illegal ciggies around the corner. You probably won’t live long enough to regret the stupidity of it. That should be a sufficient enough disclaimer.
