  • Another blast from the past and another crazy creation from Dave Southall.
    This time around we head back to 2016 and our first meeting with Dave and his amazing monowheel!
    To see more of Dave's work and see some of the steps he goes through on his builds, check out his website! redmaxmonowheel.co.uk/

    Watched some brave sole take their mono-wheel up the Prescott Hill at last year's Prescott Bike festival. Looks a fast and direct route to A&E.

    The wheelie tendency could be minimized by moving the drive wheel back, preferably right behind the seat back. As it is, the center of mass of the driver is "fulcrum opposite" of the structural mass. Thus, you get seesawing motion from any inertial change. Use a second drive wheel in front as well, and the nose diving will also be reduced.

  • @GreenMntMoto

    “It” from South Park - needs a small rear wheel for steering n Keeps from rotating

    Imagine riding one of these wearing a pair of roller skates for stability

  • @sealpiercing8476
    @sealpiercing8476 Před rokem +1

    The reason these things are so bad with analog controls is that there's usually a resonance in the angle control with a frequency in the ballpark of 1-2 Hz, ie pendulum swinging of the rider and working bits relative to wheel.

  • @Arachnoid_of_the_underverse

    Hmm, maybe you could maybe have a lateral sliding weight on the steering wheel to affect the balance and thus turn

    I'm surprised the tyre isn't fitted like a penny farthing, with a tensioned wire through the centre of it.

    please add a leaning steering system like the one of Cislaghi/Govetosa's motoruota (5:15)

    Am wondering if an electric drive system would be better or just use a Segway motor controller - simple

    You need a stabilizer like training wheels.

    didn't mr garrison invent something similar?

  • @Tron-Jockey
    @Tron-Jockey Před 4 lety +1

    I'd put a small trailing wheel on it (like a true Penny-Farthing). Make the small trailing wheel fixed with the frame and the driver won't rock back and forth. Might still rock when you brake unless you use the small wheel itself for the braking. I know, I know, it sort of defeats the mono-wheel idea but it would be a much more practical machine and a lot easier to ride.

    • @soaringvulture
      @soaringvulture Před 4 lety +1

      You might as well make one with 2 wheels the same size. That might be a big hit.

    You could use the handle bars to offset the weight of the engine or have a counter balance to aid with steering.

  • @lipjoralvci3355
    @lipjoralvci3355 Před 4 lety

    Called mono(one)wheel yet basically has 2 wheels 🤔 1st the driver wheel(yes a wheel) which basically run on its own "tracks" which is the 2nd wheel, the large wheel or the "main wheel".✌️

  • @pbfloyd13

    Yes!!!
    But also nope...

  • @thomasnoteboom1531
    @thomasnoteboom1531 Před 3 lety

    if you want to stop that diving backwords at start up move the drive wheel behind you as aposed to under you, like the two wheel tipe you are talking about, lets see that when done......
