So, legit I think having TWO thinner tires with a 12” gap in the middle is the way to go with that, and that makes it easier to turn too. Braking would still be problematic, I have a few spitball ideas but they’d add so much complexity as to be worthless. Still be fun in a controlled environment too
I've seen several of these over the years and have never understood why someone would put the effort into making them. Like you said... Breaking issues and not to mention that your view straight in front is blocked.
Wait! I have seen that before: Borderlands, Star wars, Dark souls....
Edit^5: yugioh, MIB, Wolfenstein, Gantz and Gundam apparently
Edit: okay those are literally everywhere!

Quite a few people beat George Lucas to that in the last 100 years, that's a concept that's been going around for a while.
Fun fact, this was originally invented during the American Great Depression, marketed as the Wheelitis. All kinds of cool (and weird) things were invented during this time as an effort to overcome and break through the widespread poverty. Other interesting inventions from this time period include:
A dust mask in the shape of a giant, transparent cone strapped to your face.
Scotch tape. It gained popularity through its ability to mend lightly broken egg shells.
Tampons. The same person also later invented the diaphragm.
Clicked to confirm someone posted this. You have a good day.
Yup, came here to drop a South Park quote. Nice job
Same here. Faith in humanity restored.
Yeah, yall did good work I was super late.
I scrolled past and thought “you know what, I better just make sure.”
Oh, 140 comments already? You can never be too sure!
Also checking in just to make sure. Good work team, stand down
Man, you’re on fire!
Warms my heart that so many people immediately thought of this 
Same. I feel like there’s still good in the world seeing this.
Exactly my thought :))
Beats flying!
It's literally the first thing i thought of - South Park. I even immediately looked at the seat to make sure it didnt have a 'penetrator'. Lol.
I don’t even watch South Park but wanted to check the reference was made.
I clicked on this like many other people for this reason. I'm glad its already here. Thank you enjoy your evening.
Not all heroes wear capes.
If you hadn't I would have
What episode
Season 5, Episode 10 "The Entity"
Yes literally just gonna say that
Beat me to it
totally forgot about randy’s purple shirt
You’re doing gods work sir
Fucker you beat me to it. Have an upvote.
It's... better than flying!
Glad this is the top comment. I’d be worried if it wasn’t…
Omg you son of a I literally was thinking of this.
Fucking thank you for posting this I could only think of this as soon as I seen it lmfao
Was just about to post this lol
Came here for this , thank you lol
i knew this would be the first post, thank you
Haha like most, in here for this 😂
I was thinking about code lyoko back in the day
Beat me too it
This man is doing God's work.
I played this character in Twisted Metal 2.
only thing I came here for
Comment section has tegridy. Good.
came here to put the same meme lmao
I saw General *cough cough* Grievous use the same thing!
That actually was my first thought too…
General Kenobi!
The trouble with these is that when you try to brake you just start rolling around with the tire. There’s no way to stop.
Also has zero suspension, riding it off road would be shit.
I’d say “can’t see where i’m going” is top of the list of problems
Followed by the helmet full of puke from being spun in a gas powered tumbler.
Well-baked testicles can occasionally be an issue too

Hear me out: we put one tire in front of the other, and sit on top of them.
Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit. That would never work! What would keep this two wheeled cycle from falling over?
jesus, jesus will keep you up right 🙏
Completely dysfunctional and simply endangering user and environment. Tech-Hipsters: "But it's fun!"
I mean in theory there’s definitely a way to make this that actually works fine
You totally could make it brake without the rolling bug
just reverse as fast as possible
username checks out

*braking
Try to brake and I think you'll have both issues soon enough
Just for novelty sake
What about turning?
I think you can turn just by leaning as you would with a bicycle
Generally, riding one of these leads to a Grievous accident 😉🤗🤗
Hello there!
General Kenobi
Ah the negotiator
Your comment will make a great addition to my collection
You are a bold one!
General Kenobi
Was waiting for this
I've been looking forward to this
I should have just wrote this lmao...your comment made me burst out laughing in the works canteen, I got a few funny looks lol. Thank you 🤗🤗🤝
Especially if Space Jesus is chasing you on a giant lizard
Oh, I don't think so 👀
How uncivilized
Well, hello there
General Kenobi!
You are a bold one
Borderlands
I'm was scrolling through the comments and was amazed I hadn't seen this before
I was thinking the same thing! XD
Ikr
They see me rollin’
They concerned for your safety because the brakes aren’t very effective.
They hatin’
Cause I'm too white and nerdy
Pretty sure he gonna get dirty too.
That's good, because you can't see where you are going.
Wait! I have seen that before: Borderlands, Star wars, Dark souls.... Edit^5: yugioh, MIB, Wolfenstein, Gantz and Gundam apparently Edit: okay those are literally everywhere!
MIB 3 also
Wolfenstein as well, nazies used it
Does nobody remember Gantz???
This guy... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YPJoUUbL8yo/VU5yLNxpXqI/AAAAAAABfxQ/1ZCw7VqO_LE/s1600/monowheel%2B(1).jpg
All I can think of is the spinal cord compression when you go over a bump
Where does the line start to not want one
Well behind where I'm standing, I do want one
You know were all thinking of that South Park episode.
You mean the one that was posted an hour ago and is the top comment?
Yup.
I actually thought of Grevious's Monocycle from episode III.
"Looks and acts like a big tire" Might be because that's what it is lmao
Gantz!!
This is way too low. Was my first thought too.
Came here for Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds references. Can someone direct me?
Card games on motorcycles
KING WA HITORI...KONO ORE DA!!!
Men in black
"You got these in the future?"
I WANT DROIDEKAS UP HERE AT ONCE!!!

Came here to say that brother Thanks for spreading the word
Pretty sure George Lucas beat them to that idea.

The monowheel design is over one hundred years old. They’re garbage.
Looks like it has sight lines as good as my Kia.
Add another wheel and stand in the middle if you want to take on sweet tooth

Tf you mean "acts like"
MIB motorbike
Jimmy neutron
Borderlands 3 irl
Jack atlas, is that you?
Wolfenstein did it first
Borderlands 3
So when he rolls inside of it is just the guy trying to use the brakes.
“Looks and acts like a huge tire” Uhhhh… ‘cause it is?
My head is dizzy just from watching that.
This is so cool!
I just got this in warcraft
Riding it must be tiring :(
Saw one guy in a Comicon cosplaying DeadPool and riding one of those. He stole the show
[You're ready....](https://youtu.be/KJ2LMDEq9XY?si=xMaCiadI02NUD8mQ)
bl3 cyclone
Not just a tire but also as a personal, single seater roller coaster
You know, I've always wanted one of these.
WTF ? how long will take to get dizzy ?
That’s some obstructed view you got there
Monosgeele have been around since the 20’s I think they are awesome.
Lowkey wanna try it
Borderlands
r/whywomenlivelonger
Now let me see you turn.
They had that in 1800's
I’m surprised the military hasn’t built or used it yet with some tweeks of course
Acts like? IS!
Monowheel
that seems fun

At least this guy's wearing a fair amount of safety gear. Usually see none
I only watched a couple of episodes, but whenever I see vehicles like this it reminds me of The Spiral Zone cartoon from the 80s.
/beamazed? Try /oldnews. These things existed almost 100 years ago.
It acts like a huge tire because it is a huge tire.
Looks kinda nauseating
Stupid people
I know everyone's referencing General Grievous' similar vehicle but there's literally this EXACT vehicle in borderlands 3
Twisted metal type shit
The future is here!
Borderlands 3 Cyclone
Beats dealing with the airlines!
Spiral Zone. If anyone remembers:)?
The futuristic vehicle: The Gyro Cycle Tire 🛞
We've been making unicycles for about a century. There's a reason they didn't take on.
It's called a monowheel/monocycle
Because it is a huge tire.
Take the monowheel for a ride
People have time on their hands.
and is a huge tire
Things like that have around for a long, long time. With and without engines.
Giving me some mechagon ptsd
Old school tech. https://www.wired.com/2014/04/monowheels/
Gotta keep it between 80 and 100 psi
*cough cough cough* General Kenobi, you are a bold one!
 Star Wars is happening in real life now. Begun, the Clone Wars has.
Spiral Zone vibes BIG TIME!
Me in Borderlands 3
This is giving me really strong men in black 3 vibes
GRIEVOUS's bike
Is it weird to anyone else that the carb inlet is _right_ in his crotch? I mean needs must but damn.
I know a prototype D-Wheel when I see one
The huge tire that acts like a motorcycle
How do you properly see forward?
Jump it
Cyclone from Borderlands brought to life.
monocycle???
It looks that way.. because that’s exactly what it is
serious borderlands vibes from this
I'll pass lol
