  • Hunter Howell moved from motorcycles to monowheels. Monowheeling is a type of action sport that requires the user to ride inside a motorized wheel, close to the ground. It's a hobby Howell shares with his father and brother.

    Following is a transcript of the video:
    This is a monowheel.
    It's most similar to a unicycle but you sit INSIDE the wheel.
    Hunter Howell: My name is Hunter Howell. I'm an action sports athlete and enthusiast and ride all types of crazy machines. The monowheel is one crazy machine. You have lots of stuff going on. You have a throttle, you also have a brake. That combination you really have to mess with. You give it too much gas, it's going to ride up on you. You give it too much brake, it's going to want to dive. You lock the brake up completely, and you'll start spinning inside of it. You'll go upside down.

Theres no way to have brakes except if you have more parts touching the ground like putting your foot out or something.

    there are wheel calibration systems in cars.. why not use one of these on a monowheel to help the driver with braking and speeding without spinning over? Like aren't sagways using this tech already? I'm thinking of a version for broader use, not a stunt vehicle, maybe with a bigger wheel so one can sit comfortably without having to duck the head.
