There's always room for a Wheelsurf monocycle on Gadget Master! A what? Take a look...
How does it work? The Wheelsurf website explains:
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.'You are the wheel'! That's the promise of the company, but note it is not allowed on public roads - it's not ready for the weekly commute just yet!
[It] 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...
It certainly gets you attention, but I can't help noticing the drivers keep their feet down on the ground a lot of the time...
