One of many unique vehicles at the recent Spezi Show:
how is that a waste? (of an otherwise crappy unicycle)
i think it’s pretty neat
Are there any videos of this thing in action? Does it actually move? It looks pretty ridiculous. With that said…I want one.
Hey, those arnt a waste, they are very fun to ride, i havent tried to ride on of the motorized monocycles, but the pedal ones are very fun!
Heres more info about the motorized version: LINK
Aw, the thread title was just to get your attention. A better title might be: Another way to gear up your 20"
Just thought this was interesting, even if a monocycle isn’t considered a unicycle.
The guy with the motorized monocycle is impressive. What was his record speed?
hmmm? another thread redurected from the dead.
speed record, i dont know…there is a video out there somwhere of the dude crashing hard but its never been posted…
its a totaly rediculas idea to motorize such a death trap, since history has proved that style of one wheel is totaly crappy for anything other than a straight line drag.
That is a pretty awesome looking vehicle would love to give it a go
it looks like that thing from starwars
How does it go forward? I understand the whole pedalling idea, but wouldn’t it go backwards when you pedal forward? Or is there some sort of un-going-backwards device?
No, if u follow the movement from the pedles right to the big wheel, you will see that it would in fact, go forward.

There’s a nifty, Victorian-steampunk version in the animated movie, Steamboy.
Oooooooooooh, I get it now. I was following the movement like one of those 2 wheeled giraffes.
How delightfully nuspeakian.
