http://www.magicwheel.co.uk/index.html I think this was in a photo in the last Uni Magazine, but I can't remember seeing anything else about it anywhere. Looks like fun though.

So... a BC wheel with a training wheel... and a bit of a frame...
I guess it could be fun... didn't look extremely durable... could be

Just looks like a scooter with a bigger wheel.
Not far different from one of those crappy things that were popular in
about 2000-1
