A personal transportation vehicle. The personal transportation vehicle provides an outer and inner shell having a rotor assembly supported between. The inner shell defines a compartment, which in turn houses an input system that controls an electromagnetic drive system. The electromagnetic drive system includes electromagnets that can generate a magnetic field. A sensor detects motion of the rotor assembly and stabilizes the inner shell. A controller controls states of each electromagnet depending on a position of the rotor assembly and an input from the input system. The electromagnets of the electromagnetic drive system cooperatively cause the personal transportation vehicle to move.
