The Lunicycle is a unicycle that is designed for people who want to be able to ride it without putting in countless hours of practice to get good at it.
The Lunicycle has a slightly oval wheel which prevents riders' pedaling momentum from dipping, instead keeping it constant.
Interestingly, the Lunicycle doesn't have a seat or a hub. It features calf-bracing extensions that make for a more natural type of balancing that's akin to the way you stay balanced while walking.
The developers of the Lunicycle are overseeing a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for production of their ingenious invention. A pledge of $130 will get you the Unicycle for $50 less than the expected retail price, if the campaign hits its fundraising target.
