Ford Patent Creates An Electric Unicycle From Your Car’s Wheel

Ford has come up with a solution that may take the pain out of getting to and from the office - or at least provide a bit of comic relief to commuters on the way.

Ford has applied for a patent to take the road wheels of an EV, and attach a frame and seat to create a compact electric unicycle, leaving the car supported by an inbuilt jacking system.

That means drivers would be able to drive to a satellite parking facility away from work and ride their one-wheeled electric bicycle the rest of the way, easing congestion and freeing up vital space in busy business districts.
