There is an even more impressive real world uni-wheeler that I'll have to find and suggest. Interesting to see just how many times the same theme has come up throughout the ages of Pop-Sci.

The two rear wheels, it seems, actually aided in steering, so it would be fair to say it's a tricycle. It still fits into the whole silly giant-wheel concept, anyhow.

Once the driver reached a higher speed, they would be raised, and the vehicle would travel on a single wheel. (Actually, I think I'll add that to the article.) Incidentally, the one pictured is not actually the one-man war tank. Oddly, the picture on the cover didn't reflect what the article itself was about. Oh, and thanks for posting my about my article! :) asdfafdgafsdg: The two rear wheels on that particular model were for stabilization at low speeds.
