The Wheelsurf Motorized Monocycle
Imagine surfing on land inside a wheel… Sounds farfetched huh? Well, with the Wheelsurf apparently you can…
The Wheelsurf is a single-wheeled, ride-inside conveyance that’s sure to get you noticed. But how does it work? According to Wheelsurf:
The Wheelsurf consists of an inner and an outer frame. The inner frame has three small wheels that make contact with the outer frame. The outer frame is the actual rotating wheel and has a solid rubber tire. The rider sits inside the inner frame that also contains the engine, drive train and petrol tank. The Wheelsurf is steered by shifting your weight. Although it has a hand brake, braking is limited to the counterbalance you can provide by leaning backwards. If you brake too hard, you will start spinning with the outer wheel. Which of course is exciting…
The Wheelsurf is however not a street-legal vehicle, but rather meant to be a form of extravagant entertainment that will set you back about €5000 exluding taxes and shipping. The 50 kg Wheelsurf is powered by a 4-stroke 31cc engine that produces 1,2 kW @ 7000 rpm and can reach a top speed of 40 km/h.
