Definately able to turn, the pendulum interal to the deveice is leaned over at any angle you want and it will cause the sphere to lean over as well and as long as it is traveling forward it will turn, much like a motorcycle when you lean. Similarly the ball can lean so far over that it places the metal disks on the sides of the ball onto the ground and literaly turn on a dime. Though its nearly unstable if you try and turn at full speed. Tends to make the ball flip over, always a fun thing to see.
