MOTOR WHEEL FOR CHEAP TRANSPORTATION (Nov, 1928)
MOTOR WHEEL FOR CHEAP TRANSPORTATION
POWERED by a motorcycle engine and operated through the conventional handlebar control, a rubber-tired motor wheel has been invented which is claimed to represent the ideal in cheap and rapid transportation. The device is so simple that a youngster can operate it. The large wheel is fitted with a continuous inner track along which run a series of flanged wheels on which the mechanism revolves. The rider is seated inside the wheel on a regulation motorcycle saddle.

How many times has this thing been invented, invented, invented… All on the pages of these magazines.

“Please daddy, no, I hate the monowheel! I don’t want to daddy! Please, no!”
Didn’t I see this on a South Park episode?
These things look kind of cool. I just thought they were just something made up to fit a storyline (see the latest Ratchet & Clank game for PS3) until I found them on this blog.
Modern version!!!
