Who Would Ride This ?

Hello Everyone,
First I must say that i would love to build a wheel like this, i think it would be awesome to ride, and i just might take it on of course the braking system would need some thought ?

So has any one of you ever had got to ride a wheel like this ? wouldnt it be freeky if a wheel pulled up next to you onthe freeway ?

 

It's interesting... kinda curious how much of a view he has past the "cage" or frame. Certainly looks like fun though. It obviously can't be that stable at speed without that spoiler/rudder/wing thingy on there. I guess that's whats used to keep his inner ring in a horizontal position...

I'll give it a go.

Edit: How do you park it?

 

Think Buell ( perimeter brake )

 

I'd have to say that I would be very hesitant in riding one of those. I've seen some clips of when the braking went bad or got off balance and the crashes certainly aren't pretty. Looks like a hell of a ride though..

 

How do you know if you're riding a wheelie?

All the cool kids are riding unicycles... right?

 

Ah, but real men ride this:

If one takes up the entire road, one is therefore impossible to pass. Of course, I'd be afraid to get anywhere near that thing.

& ABS so you don't lock it up

Yes, but the one at the top is a V8!! I guess the stunt of choice would be the loopie!

From looking at the videos of similar vehicles on youtube, I do not think that would be much fun to ride. It is a balancing act for sure and it looks like you must have to be really smooth with the throttle and the brake or you would be doing loopies, forward and backward, and probably breaking off that tail section. However, I ride a cycle for the curves and those things look like they would be really difficult to lean over confidently and consistently. I'll pass. Give me two wheels and a V4 in between!
