Motorised unicycle

Can you ride a unicycle? Can you imagine using one as an every-day mode of transport?

Well it would seem that Honda wants you to be able to answer yes to both of these questions at some point in the future, because the manufacturer has created a motorised unicycle.

The ‘Uni-Cub’ has a thrilling top speed of 3.7mph and is steered by the rider leaning to one side or another – no need to use your hands.

When you’re not using the machine you can fold it up into a carry case, and, if you find a building that allows you to drive the odd unicycle inside, it is reportedly easy enough to steer that it’s safe for indoor use.

Well – there’s certainly no risk of high-speed crashes on this thing at least! I wonder how much it would cost to insure?

There’s no release date for the invention and there are apparently no plans, as of yet, to make it available to the public for purchase.

We look forward to seeing whether it does become available and how many people actually buy it – I bet it’s great for toning up core muscles!
