  • I'm going to build a penis wheeler

  • One wheel cycles is right up there Voice Activated Computing.

    Both sound cool, until you actually use them, then reality steps in.

  • wouldn't wanna crash that thing.. especially on a pole

  • Putting the punk in steam-punk since 1823

  • try to do a stoppie... wait... try to stop at all

  • Chuck Norris can do a wheelie on this

  • Makes me want to go into a psychotic rage when I'm watching a video and the camera person yells.

  • Looks like a flesh grinding bone cracking accident just waiting to happen 5 stars

  • Do a wheelie.....

  • They should've had one of these in Mad Max. Would've saved a shitload on gas.

  • can it turn?

  • Can it Turn?

  • GOIN' TO WORK HUNNY!!!!!

  • thats pretty cool but will it blend

  • If you had to panic stop, you'd run yourself over.

  • but will it blend? ?

  • but will it blend?

  • i bet all the hippies are trippin the fuck oooout

  • YOUR MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­LOL

  • Spy kids 3d and 2 who the hell wants to sit like that going 2 mph

  • you might actually have a small small chance of getting laid with that in tent city.

  • Geek shouts "your my hero". LOL.

  • i liked the part where you did the wheelie

  • @gmccarthy11 how can it not wheelie

  • That is one useless step for mankind.

  • @kippergc1 That is one useless step for mankind... And what have you accomplished in life that interest you? I say that interest you because your reply of "This is an accomplishment?" is highly expected smh...

  • girl @ 23 is like I can walk faster than that thing can go.

    guys all, no way

  • Why do your knees have to be jammed up to your chest?

  • Now it just needs to be able to turn

  • Dear Santa...

  • I think what it needs are two independent motors, which though smaller, would work together to archive full driving power, most likely greater than that of the single large motor. Each motor would drive an independent wheel of the same circumference of the large wheel you see there, mounted nearly flush together to act as one single wheel with the capabilities of spinning in both directions, each operated by a single control in one hand. This would add the ability to steer and reverse.

  • @TheDullahan

    2 separate engines do not have the syncronizations or precise control needed to achieve your recomendation. however if you change that to one engine powering a generator, electric motors have that precision. however a mechanical solution would be a controlled differential.

  • Ummm... One question. How the fuck do you turn? Get off, turn it, get back on?

  • Are those carnies following that thing?

  • Every steampunk's dream.

  • how do you turn?

  • its kinetic art.

  • Where's mad max at

  • He doesn't mention that it can't work without that hat

  • @gmccarthy11

    I lol'd 

  • Guy is hot :)

  • Just a little too much throttle and that thing will whip the driver over the top and smash him into the ground behind it, head first!

  • Dieselpunk!

  • that top hat really makes him better then everyone else there

  • A most gentlemanly Gentleman

  • what is that and how dose it work

  • @Mr3wheeledbike The engine is located inside the base of the wheel and the extra torque used to rotate the wheel counterbalances the guy on the front. Kind like how drag cars can pop a wheelie off the start line, imagine the rear wheel of the car is the wheel on this, and the front of the vehicle is the guy sitting up there. Same concept only it stays balanced until the engine is turned off or is turned low enough that the torque isn't strong enough to lift him.

  • Did you pick up that chick in the yellow top?

  • \\what the

     is going on in the back ground?dsdsssaw

  • @69cockmonkey69 I think it is the "Burning Man" festival @ Nevada's Black Rock Desert.

  • \\what the is going on in the back ground?

  • what the fuck is going on in the back ground?

  • scaring the shit outta the tripping burning man hippies with your satan machine are we. nice job

  • And all that with a top hat.

    Fucking smart

  • ''Your my hero''

    this guy must have the worst life of all.

  • what is burning man about?

  • @Pyrotechnican one of the sickest partys in the world

  • @Pyrotechnican

    Weird.

    

  • can it turn

  • how do you turn with one wheel?

    

  • Seeing a dude looking all ragged with No shirt worn out black pants and wearing a dusty Old worn out Top hat scream out....oohhh...I dunno.....MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDER DOME!?.

    I ask this because of the fact that you see this dude dressed like that cruzeing around what looks like Barter Town style 1 wheeled wheel chair!.

  • But will it blend?

  • @goldiger67 loooooooooooooooooooool again

  • Now let us see an emergency/panic brake. ;)

  • I thought he was going to burn or something, based on the title.

  • where the hellcan I get one

  • Can it go into reverse?

  • Зачем?!!!

  • "THEY SEE ME ROLLING THEY... get rely confused" XD

  • YEAHH SCIENCE!!

  • hmmm needs more weight at the front and a way to turn other than that its a great concept

  • can he turn?

  • ...and then he fell off

  • this is so epicly burning man xD

  • thumb up for slash...

  • max speed = 3kph

  • Looks like something out of a scary carnival movie...

  • snail??

    

  • it had to be at burning man

  • you should call it the Slow Moo Roller

  • total SteamPunk!

  • NavMan: "In 100 meters, turn right"

    Driver: "Ummm....Houston, we have a problem"

  • How does that thing turn...

  • @MegaDiVider he turns the vehicle by leaning to the left or the right - you can see at 0:07, he's leaning his legs and torso to the right - so he doesnt have a head-on collision with the volvo :)

  • @MegaDiVider In the same way a unicycle turn, by body height balance, give more height to the left and the wheel will turn to the left, the same is true for the right.

  • This was built at the same art space as Neverwas Haul and a lot of other innovative projects.

    As for braking ,hitting the brakes hard just brings the seat down against the ground like a skid. It was never intended to go fast, more of a art project, and a test of "could it be done".

  • @MrMatt027 i was just thinking that lmao

  • how dose it turn ?

  • 0:25 best part! :D

  • Star Wars extra.... not used.

  • Take that shit to the dragstrip!!!

  • Do a wheelie.

  • oh fuck starwars shit man oh fuck and these hat oh fuck what a fuck oh man WTF WTF oh shit he's naked oh man oh SHIT and FUCK so overbent oh man oh fuck oh shit

    serious, do you remember one episode from south park when guys riding wheels while being penetrated by dildos?

  • oh fuck starwars shit man oh fuck and these hat oh fuck what a fuck oh man WTF WTF oh shit he's naked oh man oh SHIT and FUCK so overbent oh man oh fuck oh shit

    serious, do you remember one episode from south park when guys riding wheels while being penetrated by dildos

  • can it go slower ??

  • but will it blend?

  • psh a snail coulda thought of that

  • aren't you kind of pushing yourself right into an accident, you'd be better behind it, then you'd just get a friction burn on on your swede off the tyre

  • good luck turning.......

  • if it does how does it turn

  • @fishermen755 Driver shifts weight (like on bicycle), it seems obvious from the video.

  • I rather walk

  • well at least your someones hero...lmao

  • looool theres actually a website that sells this peice of junk ,i bet there orders are through the roof ahahaha drive that thing straight to the junk yard

  • @nate11577 do you just go to all these motorwheel videos and say that?

  • and in a top hat no less. i so want one!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I have the mathematics to back this up. The large centripetal acceleration produced by the turning of the wheel is directly proportional to the magnitude of the torque produced by the motor. What a wonderful machine :)

  • WTF

  • Is that a young Slash from GNR? lol

  • wtf

  • how do you turn that damn thing?

  • Doctor Demento: The Early Years.....

  • NOW DO AN EMERGENCY STOP!! HERO

  • they should put v8 engine on that..

  • how many hp???

  • that's differently cool

  • I'd throw a house brick under the wheel...

  • check out that snail. going at the speed of a snail.

  • it looks very comfortable

  • Steering is done by leaning and a gyroscope, counter weight is on the back so he doesn't flip, braking you slow down and just hop off the front when it's grounded. Not that hard to understand. And it isn't a slug machine. Highest recorded speed is 56mph

  • thiers the traditinal.. ''pop a wheely'' comment... but i want to see 1 doing an emergency stop XD

  • reminded me of something out of MAD MAX xD

  • @SuperDan360 i was watching Mad Max...and then came here

  • drift with it

  • ill give you $10 if you can drift it

  • how the heck hes gonna steer that thing?! :D

    otherwise...its kinda neat :)

  • Speed that up some and you have Terminator's new ride.

  • Must be nice to not have to buy a set of 4 tires...

    what size rim is that "" 48" homie ""

  • looooool, that truly is satanic machine, but epic win nevertheless, can i have one?

  • @snakeconsert There is already a counter-wieght on it to stop it from going back 8o

  • I think the best idea would be to add a drag bar to stop the thing from going TOO far back

  • That made my acid trip kick-in

  • twisted metal

  • good luck with the chick

  • BURNING MAN. . .NUFF SAID.

  • WoooooOOOOOooo!! Dubble rainbow!

  • street legal??

  • How do you turn the mofo?

  • thats cool XD how does he turn though?

  • Its funny that it makes all that noise but goes so fucking slow

  • how the hell do u turn on this thing? lol

  • А как рулить и тормозить?

  • @maks2321 Even the russians dont know?!?

  • imagine getting pulled over

  • Not such a good design really, a huge rear tyre surrounded by a metal cage with an internally mounted engine! Just one question, how do you repair a puncture on the roadside?

  • @DingleZilla um well you wouldnt really get a puncture coz the tyre is so thick , and "roadside".........haha , i dont really think it would be going on the road !

  • Isnt burning man supose to celebrate life and stuff? (I'm 18 so I have no idea) But from what I see in this vid its more about being open minded and creative rather than satanic...why cant die hard religious people have fun like the rest of us?

  • Isnt burning man supose to celebrate life and stuff? (I'm 18 so I have no idea) But from what I see in this vid its more about being open minded and creative rather than satanic...why cant die hard religious people have fun like the rest of us?

  • This thing isnt satanic at all, who ever thinks that must have been locked inside their house for a long time. What I think it is, is Science, Bad Ass, and Creativity. Imagin going down the highway with this if it went any faster, people would look at you like wtf is that!

  • The guy that says, "your my hero" is either high or has a limited grasp on reality

  • that thing is legit

  • how do you turn?

  • Where does the chick sit?

  • with the top hat on you could call yourself: wheelie wonka. : )

  • it looks like he just jumps out from the "mad max" :D

  • bonus points if you use steam power on the next one.

  • reminds me of a snail.

  • mad max hhhhhhh nice motor

  • how???

  • @Dannnneh This vehicle runs on the law that if you want to turn the wheel, the motor wants to spin the other direction.

  • "Youre my hero! WoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOooo"

    lol

  • @zackownsathalo3 I know. I bet he feels tough being a smartarse. Some people cant live a day without trying to put people down. Thankfully they dont live long.

  • most awesome thing ive ever seen haha

  • is that prof. Layton

  • WOW WWWW!!!!!!

  • That's the perfect motocycle

  • This needs to be in a Primus music video.

  • This is what happens in the desert.

  • when they say "woooooooooooooo" it means they will die in less than 3 years.

    It is 2010, this guy's dead.

    He had a good life, right?

  • @Helldiver450 What?
