The RIOT Wheel

In perhaps the awesomest advance in transportation since monster cars, Jake Layall has combined the motorbike, unicycle, and 1,100 lbs of badass to create the R.I.O.T. Wheel, the “first radical departure in single-wheel designs in over a hundred years”. Housing a motor and counterweight inside a giant wheel, the driver sits on a platform that extends out in front of the device, where they can fully appreciate the admiring glances from laydeez. It looks like it shouldn’t work, but it does. And if you feel the need to live out your steampunk / Dr Doom fantasies, simply stump up several thousands dollars and Jake will build you one himself!

See awesome video action below the fold!
