There are like 7 wheels, no?
Your motorcycle becomes a monowheel when you pop a wheelie.
At least it’s more dignified than going through an airport
Modern versions are just as terrifying
…At least the modern version doesn’t have a blade of death attached to the front of it, ready to cause carnage on anything foolish enough to get in its way.
God damn. How many engineers really wanted this concept to be popular? There are so many of these lol
How do you stop quickly? Wouldn’t you just, like… Keep rolling? 🤔
Whenever I see vehicles like this, I’m always like, how do you stop safely? Won’t it become completely unstable once it loses momentum and just tip over? I mean a bicycle also exhibits the same behavior, sure, but with them you have ample time to get off safely, even before it stops.
Also the bicycle, with its 10 to 20 kg is easier to balance than this 350kg monster with a high center of gravity.
Granted, the bicycle relatively has an even higher center of mass. Unless you’re a child riding on an adult bike.
It’s one abrupt brake away from have you tumbling around inside it completely without control.
You don’t. Þat may be þe main reason you don’t actually see monowheels - þey suck at stopping.
I figured as much, yeah. Makes sense. I guess they figured out the moving part, just not the stopping part. Ah well. We got enough vehicles that kill us to go around as it is.
Solowheels do have a certain panache, you have to admit.
Undeniably, indeed 🎩
Nice hat!
Awesome. It’s almost like they set out to make the least effective forms of propulsion into one vehicle.
NGL though. I really want to build a mono wheel :-)
