If it's only got one wheel, is it still called a bike? Doesn't that make it a unicycle?
RE: Project Awesome - Fox - 02-18-2010
Good question. Uni-motorcycle maybe? D
RE: Project Awesome - J.E_Magog - 02-18-2010
So how do you steer a one wheeled bike?
RE: Project Awesome - Trace-02 - 02-18-2010
That road hog either got inspiration from General Grievous, or watched too much Spiral Zone when he was a kid.
I bet K. Okawara and K. Kondo would approve of that design (and Okawara might add: Needs bigger back packs)

Apparently, it's called a Monowheel:

Quote:Like the HyperBike, this seems to be another vehicle whose only practical use is roaming around a parking lot. But unlike the HyperBike, there is no way to fucking turn the Monowheel--not unless you want to turn over with it. Heck, even going straight forward seems like a risky maneuver with this vehicle, seeing as it's more unstable than the average South American republic.
Though, if you're going straight forward you now have a wheel blocking your field of vision.
Really, that's just the beginning of your problems. The thing about motorcycles and unicycles is that, if you crash, you'll be thrown clear and can potentially cushion your fall with a bush or an unsuspecting clown, respectively. With the Monowheel, any crash means your head will be abruptly and terminally introduced to piece of metal directly in front of you. And since this thing can get up to 53 mph (with a theoretical max of 100, which seems like a number they pulled out of their ass), that's no laughing matter.

Real men sleep without shirts and blankets!
Since my mind 56% female, I sleep without a shirt but with a blanket.
