How 'bout a 1928-style "motor wheel" (aka "Monowheel," "Monocycle"):


I suspect that fast getaways and hard braking were not child's play. I have seen film of their use in pre-WWII Germany.

Hooked-up for "fare-thee-well:"

It looks similar to the BMW C-1 that they had before.

I wouldn't be interested in the BMW C1-E at all because it is an electric gizmo.

This BMW SIMPLE, on the other hand, I would buy on the spot. Fully enclosed, actively leaning trycicle with airbags, seat belts, the height ride of an SUV, 124MPH top speed... and 120MPG. It is a personal car with the inside spaciousness of a BMW 328, where you can transport a passenger in a pinch.

0h man, I do so want one of those.

I assume these are not, and probably never will, be available to the US market?

It is not really a one wheel motorcycle since it is really two wheels side by side.

Not even same bike in pic.

[BigWarpGuy]

One can see the two wheels side by side.
Even with two wheels, it is still way cool looking.
It looks like something out of a scify movie.

Now THIS is the true meaning of 'minimalist motoring'....the Peel Trident:

Check out the Peel P50. One seater.....smaller than the trunk of a full size sedan.
