Many pics at the link, as well as a lot more information about the Uno itself.

The Operation of the Uno

Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it's so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.

oh, and the inventor is 18...

The Fast and The Furious 5: Segway Showdown!

This is awesome for an 18-year old.. having a machinist for a father helps! The accomplishment is that he got it displayed at the show and because of that will make a business out of it. I am not impressed because it really is just the Segway d-i-y technology that's out on the internet crammed into a different package, and will never be street-legal because it lacks breaks and is unsafe at any speed. You too can look like a tool-bag on two-wheels, for the cheap!
