Mono-cycle pits in
Why have two wheels when you can have one? Parisian engineer Erich Edison-Puton thought exactly that in 1910, and his solution was to put the rider and the engine inside a single 2m diameter wheel. He built a rather ugly frame out of steel tubing and flat sheeting, and then took a 3.5bhp, 150cc De…
