It was a bit beyond what I can do so was made for me by The Angle Ring Company . The pulleys on which it runs were custom-made by AED rollers. Everything else was cut, bent and welded in my shed!&#160; The engine is a 90cc four stroke from a Chinese quad bike. I was initially going to use the engine\/wheel unit from a 50cc scooter but the wheel was too big and the two stroke power delivery can be a bit peaky! The quad engine is fully auto with electric start. The friction drive wheel is the rear wheel from a mini moto. It has a cable-operated disc brake which must be used with extreme caution. The tyre on the outer wheel is three 24 inch mountain bike tyres cut up and pop riveted on.&#160;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nThere are plenty more from a whole web site devoted to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dself.dsl.pipex.com\/MUSEUM\/TRANSPORT\/motorwhl\/motorwhl5.htm#south\">monowheels<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know much about them, other than these custom bikes look pretty cool.&#160; Found here and here. &#160; &#160; &#160; This last one is properly called a Monowheel.
