Solo Wheel - That's it. Just one wheel!

The Solowheel may well be smallest, greenest, most convenient "People Mover" ever invented. This gyro-stabilized electric unicycle is compact and fun to ride but at nearly US$2000 heavy on the purse.

Seems loads of fun though.

    Yes and mainly solo wheel cycles are use on mountains, I saw these type of wheels when I go on trekking,,,
    If it's one wheel, in a fork, with a saddle on top - then it's an unicycle

    If it's one big wheel, with the rider sitting inside, then it's a monowhee

    Here is another monowheel contender that seems solid:

    Sir I have the following questions to be answered.
    1)how much weight can it bear?
    2)what are the areas to be used?
    3)Can it be used in offroad purpose?
    4)is there any suspension used here?
    5)Mileage or efficiency?

    The only vehicle that I have driven(?) in my whole life is a bicycle. The maker claims that it can stand a lot of abuse.

    Not a solo-wheeled drive, but I'm a huge sucker for Segway. Promises almost the same things as Solowheel for ecology.

    But at $2000, Solowheels are "comparatively" a lot more cheaper. Some day!

    I dont think solowheels can be used by all types of people. First it will add a balancing issue. I was never able to balance a unicycle i tried once. Next is the space factor and engine issues. The design can create problems compromising safety.

    It is self balancing using gyro stabilizers. If it is on it will remain standing on its own.
