Is this a bicycle

[quilkin]

Well my full-sized bicycle didn't receive a lot of attention (not surprising really, it was pretty wobbly) so I decided to use the wheels elsewhere. This is the result .... sorry about the video quality, lack of titles, music, etc . etc..... The construction was finished a few weeks ago but had to be filmed outdoors to get enough space, and the weather has been so foul recently I had to wait.

That's pretty awesome! I like how it throws the itself forward or reverse to steer.

Wow, that's an awesome 'bike'! I love all the technic figures riding it.

Cool. I think you can call it giant wheel chair for little people too.

It's like a Segway for Technic figs.

I have now seen everything! That sure is unique. :thumbup:

That's actually a dicycle, They used to be more common but they hamster easily and that makes them very unsafe for anyone in front of them. They're kind of fun but tend to be large, making them a pain to store, so few people bother making them.

Thanks, Moz, I knew there must be a name for it! Your Wikpedia link also links to this which looks like it could be a contender for a Lego version with Mindstorms control. Now I know what those Lego droid wheels are for, and, no, I've never seen Star Wars!

Now I know what those Lego droid wheels are for,

Ow! $20 each! Owowowow! Maybe a monocycle?

You'd be better off with the lime uglywheel because that's at least affordable. Those were common-ish at one stage and a friend now has at least four, specifically so he can build vehicles with them.
