Novelty Uni

a mower would be [censored], unless it's a 2 stroke they wont work when turned
on their side, and they dont have a centrifugal clutch, which makes
everything a lot harder

mower wouldn't be as good though because theres no clutch, you would
always have to be moving. thats why chainsaws are the best.

the thing with a chainsaw is that it is either off or on. on a mower you
can ajust the speed. i know 2 people who have made mower motor powered
bikes and they worked fine. you can rig it up so it engages on the
wheel or it doesnt so you dont always have moving.

make a 2 wheeled BC!!!!
ridable horizontal, or vertical the plates would have to be fixed for
vertical riding and you would need something to hold your legs up
against
that would be sick🙂 :o 😉 :p 🙄 😎 :eek: 😕 😄 🙁

Make a giraffe unicycle out of a bike, but leave all the main bike parts
complete. Leave on the front tire, etc. Then just add the seat,
lockout the hub and shorten the chain.

shorten the chain?

A giraffe with a rear derailer would be un ridable. Generally, a geared
bike with a rear derailer needs the chain shortened to become single
speed. A single speed bike obvously wouldn't need that mod.

Have fun with the project, don't forget that it will be uncomforable to
UPD off of it since there would be so many pointy bits.

Try and make a reverse bike. One that works like a double stack uni.
You'd have to invert the hub and you could attach some stakeboard
wheels to the bottom of the bike wheels so it goes forwards as you
pedal backwards.

I made something kinda like that, but it was actually two bikes stacked
on top of each other and you had to pedal backwards, it was pretty
cool, but really hard to go up hills on.

http://scul.org/SCUL/SCUL.html There is a picture of one like it
somewhere on this page, along with a lo tof other cool bikes.

Giraffe. But with shoulder supports above the wheel, above that maybe
something to strap your torso to, and then pedals to top it all off. In
other words, you would ride it upside down, with your feet straight up
in the air. We will need to see video of your freemount technique.

recumbent unicycle. You lie down on some sort of seat that hooks onto
the frame. Then put some cranks up there and a chain that runs to a
wheel at the bottom. Extra points if its geared. Lots of points if you
make it so you can change gears. Even more if you can coast and shift
gears!

if you go with the girrafe idea, try to get a fiked gear hub, much
safer than locking the freewheel
