File this under "Close Enough."

The hash-addled Dutch have come up with a revolutionary mode of transportation called The WTF: The Big Round Thing With An Engine. Actually, the real name is The Motorized Monocycle. Sporting a 31cc, four-stroke 1 1/2-hp engine, this ultra-modern cycle won't be leaving smoke but at least it will run for a couple hours on a half-tank of gas. You've got to weight in at over 110lbs to operate the Wonder Wheel and the weight limit maxes out at 275lbs. Brake and gas controls are on the handle bars. Max Speed: 25mph. Max Benefit: Unclear. Buy one? Sure.

(Editor's note: I cannot believe that I can't find video of Richard Pryor's awesome Wonder Wheel scene from The Toy)
