This is a monowheel bike that uses magnetic repulsion to create a bearing for the wheel to operate. The idea is based on the technology of a maglev train mixed with the McLean wheel.

congratulations. Its pretty cool and innovative design.
It would drive me nuts having the wheel always in front of me...
Take a look at this version of the McLean monowheel bike.

Thanks for the congrats Chris. That is the first thing I thought when I saw the monowheel concept for the first time. I noticed the rider has to lean to one side or the other to drive it. I should have modeled an LCD screen the width of the rim head level that projects the view in front of the rider.
I saw that crash Ken. It was pretty rough. These vehicles are definitely not the safest in the world. The V8 model was completely over the top. I think he has added stabilizing fins to the latest iteration... I am not quite sure if that helped or not...
