First featured by Gizmag in 2011, the Sbyke is a rear-steer slaloming contraption that's now available in the UK. It was created in the US by brothers Bart and Steve Wilson and the story goes that UK-based businessman Shaun Turner came across the the Wilsons' creation while holidaying in California. After realizing that it was not available in the UK, Turner convinced the brothers to let him distribute the Sbyke across the pond.

The vehicle itself pulls together the upright and forward-facing riding position of a scooter with the large front wheel and handlebars of a bike and the wooden board and rear-trucks of a skateboard. It may sound a bit contrived initially, but once you see the Sbyke in action it all makes sense and will surely have you keen to give it a try.
