This picture was found in Technology Investor Magazine, July 2000. The

Arles, France.

What do you think?

Re: Motorized Monocycle

What's the steering wheel for?

My guess is that it's there to give the illusion that he can control that thing.

It probably tilts the seat/person relative to the wheel so that you'll turn.
