Default Wow Wheel Magic!


I think I've seen someone who's posted a picture before. It doesn't look
that bad - but really, couldn't they come up with a better name? That
video on their site wasn't that appealing either... ("The, the magical
wheel~")

I wonder if you can turn it into a BC wheel by removing the rear wheel?

yeah, that's what i was thinking, but i guess if it is really heavy, it
would only be good for cruising. it seems like the foot position is
really low on the wheel which would give a lower c.o.g. , making it
easier to ride.

Seriously, the other wheel just fell off one day.

Ah. The site states that it weights 6.3 kg.

As for the BC wheel, I just realized that mass center probably is
somewhere between the wheels when standing on the plates - you can't
just simply remove the small wheel.
