goodbye this collection comprises the world's 20 weirdest motorcycles each a testament to human Ingenuity creativity and sometimes sheer audacity from single-wheeled Marvels to sci-fi inspired designs these machines stretch the conventional notion of two-wheelers offering an engaging Journey Through the eccentricities of motorcycle design and Innovation Number One Mono wheel motorcycle the mono wheel motorcycle appears to be a science fiction creation at first glance but its roots date back to the 19th century the vehicle's design is simple yet intriguing a single large wheel that encloses the motor and Rider throughout history various inventors and manufacturers have tried to perfect the design facing numerous challenges concerning balance and steering one of the most notable modern incarnations of the mono wheel motorcycle is Carrie McLean's monocycle McLean an American inventor spent decades improving the mono Wheels design to increase its safety and practicality his version powered by a V8 engine features a mechanical stabilizer to combat the gerbiling effect a phenomenon where the rider inside the wheel starts spinning along with the wheel during high speeds despite its peculiar appearance McLean's mono wheel motorcycle can reach speeds of over 50 miles per hour Turning Heads wherever it goes today monowheel motorcycles continue to Captivate bike enthusiasts and
