Freewheeling

Anyone who came from a small town remembers spending Friday nights huddled around a keg in the woods in front of headlights, cow tipping, or rolling down a hill in a tractor tire (or so you hear). While we can’t speak to the former, we’d like to present you with an upgrade to the latter. The Motorized Monocycle ($13,000) races over grass and pavement at speeds up to 25 MPH. While you may have reached that speed in a tractor tire, you no doubt lost your lunch and your wits doing so. It’s powered by a 31 cc, four-stroke 11/2 –hp engine that operates a centrifugal clutch on the inner steel frame that engages the 67″ diameter outer rubber-tired flywheel. Simply balance yourself like you would on a bike as you accelerate and lean from side to side to steer. For the price of a small economy car you can take this monocycle masterpiece back to your ten-year reunion and show those hicks how it’s done. Yeehaw!
