monowheel
Rider inside wheel
A monowheel is a vehicle with a single large wheel that surrounds the rider, who sits inside the wheel's circumference.
Unlike a unicycle, where the rider balances atop the wheel, a monowheel places the operator within the wheel itself, typically powered by an engine or motor.
Monowheels remain curiosities rather than practical transportation: He built a monowheel in his garage as a weekend project.
