What is a "monowheel"?
A monowheel is a unique type of vehicle that consists of a single large wheel, with the rider sitting inside or atop it. It is powered by an electric motor or pedals, depending on the design. The rider controls the monowheel by shifting their body weight to steer, as there are no handlebars or traditional wheels. Monowheels are compact and can be used for personal transportation, offering a fun and efficient way to travel short distances. Due to their design, they require balance and skill to operate.
