This innovation never quite made it into mass production but was incredibly innovative, and Canadian!

The Uno Dicycle was conceived by Ben Gulak from Milton, Ontario in 2006. This single-wheel, gyroscope balanced electric vehicle was designed to be used in population dense urban centres to allow people to get to their destination without creating the mass amounts of smog he had experienced in a trip to China. A two-wheeled version, the Uno III, was developed to make the concept more appealing to Western consumers but it never really caught on due to safety concerns among other issues.
