Tilt and Go...

Tilt'n go

Tilto !

TILTO is an electric unipersonal vehicle of the "Inverted Pendulum" type, balancing automaticallyin two directions simultaneously. The idea came to me in mid-2010 and it took several months to materialize, partly because at that time I was far from home (in Ethiopia) and partly because I decided to write a Patent Application (just in case ...) and it took me a few months.

How did I get the idea of TILTO?

Going VERY early: In talks with friends of mine, long ago, I had discussed the idea of making a mountainboard with "tilting wheels". The tilting wheels idea was mocked was present in several other ideas, but at some point it occurred to me to apply it to a Segway. The Segway is an object of desire for any technophile, and although it's not the universal solution for the transport of persons (according to its makers), it is useful for short trips (I tried one in Paris) and perhaps even to go from home to the office (15 blocks).
