For racing???

I've seen this "creation" before, but without the numbers (or, maybe I just never noticed before). I have ridden unicycles most of my life and can imagine how to ride this, but anything except extremely slow starts and stops would be impossible. It would be a sure death machine on the street!
The only way I can see this as a racing machine would be if the rider constantly dragged his steel-soled boots like in flat-track racing. Did they learn nothing from the days of the penny-farthing about quick stops? At least a penny-farthing had a tiny rear wheel to create some semblance of balance and safety(?)!

Sidecar could hold it up, balance would be no issue!
Or, one could add a straight board out the back with a standard battery attached, that would automatically balance the thing! Low rolling resistance because of only one wheel, could use bt-45 mounted backwards, would last a lifetime.

I need a rally!

I laughed hard for five minutes at that comment! It is interesting to try visualizing a sidecar to go with this "bike".

Me 2, Loren! In fact, I would rather have your Cushman Eagle than any Harley! It's just '50's retro COOL!


Somehow, Tony, I don't think this thing was really ever meant to be ridden! Just an exercise in design! There is another version with a much larger wheel where the rider and all the works are at the bottom inside so their weight makes it go and stop. Still, not a really quick stop, though!
