HRH Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm not sure if this will be a repost, but this just blew my mind. Not sure I entirely trust it, but I'd like to ride one. Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 This type of transportation is inherently unstable, you do not want to be on one that moves faster than you can run, period!!! Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 This type of transportation is inherently unstable, you do not want to be on one that moves faster than you can run, period!!! No worse than a motorcycle. Especially a high speed crotch rocket with a dumbass behind the handlebars. The V8 monowheel cycle is dumb with the engine right in front of you, pistons facing you. If engine goes, so do you! But there are better designs . But I love the scooter one! Here is a couple more for ya! Star Wars Ep. 3: Revenge of the Sith Men In Black III The first monowheel was made in 1869 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Oh, it's worse than a motorcycle. At least a motorcycle you have a level plane due to two wheels. I like the Ryno, but I would still prefer a proper motorcycle. For crowded city commuting though, the one wheel bike has many advantages. 1 Quote Link to comment

SlottedMagz Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 oh yeah i agree i saw the vid documentary of that guy and his build of that thing he put engines on his sons bike and his daughters barbie jeep best child hood ever period Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 The guy on the rolling giant wheel was like a guy strapping into a high performance hangglider and launching off half dome without lessons, it isn't a question on if he will crash or not, the question is, will he survive. The fact is, neither of these contraptions will stop fast, so if someone steps in front of your silent mode of transportation(especially if your riding on the sidewalks), you are going to run them over, as you are not going to skid to a stop. And absolutely don't run into anything, that will be like taking a swan dive off your roof, I don't care if you have a helmet on, it's going to hurt. I will repeat myself, you do not want to be on one that moves faster than you can run. 1 Quote Link to comment
