The next big single?........
« on: August 17, 2012, 11:11:50 AM »
...WHEEL!!    Hmmm...one wheel, 140bhp, 170mph and as it's powered by electric motors you get full torque from zero throttle....fancy a go?



"Winner of the prestigious VACC competition, the “Hornet” by Liam Ferguson is a one-wheel superbike, which seems to be "up there in the clouds a bit." Generating power from dual 74 hp (55 kW) in-wheel hydrogen fuel-cell six-phase Neodymium-Iron (Nd-Fe) electric motors to reach a top speed of 235 km/h, the Hornet integrates two side-by-side small wheels to balance it gyroscopically when parked. However, as soon as the rider accelerates the motorbike, it tilts forward to lifts its rear stabilizer wheels off the ground to run on the central wheel."

It looks like a vacuum cleaner...

I hope I won't have to ride that kind of monster.
