Japanese scientist invented Segway in 1986?

News photo

Apparently Japanese professor Kazuo Yamafuji designed a segway type "parallel bicycle" or "coaxial bicycle" back in the year that the 8-bit Nintendo debuted in the US, Oprah started her world domination and Michael Jackson launched his Bad Era.

Here's a technical paper (in Japanese).

Would love to find a high-res picture or video
