This is a video of YouTubers Make It Extreme constructing and testing a giant electric monowheel cycle. From the test footage at the end, it looks like you have to keep your feet down the entire time for safety, and it definitely doesn’t turn on a dime. Or even a
Presumably determined to never get spun around by a red shell or banana peel again, this is a video of a dude cruising around in his homemade 19-tire go kart (I partiand a coffin-shaped gas tank right behind the seat). ULTRA TRACTION. Although most of those tires look like they’re
Because everybody uses their spare time differently (I have no spare time), this is a video of Youtuber Chris Makes Stuff constructing a hubless, electric penny farthing bike. The hubless design is cool, but the motorization is a must — pedaling is one of my least favorite part of riding
