This one looks like the Element.

Or Nissan's new Cube?

It is a Nissan. It's a 1989 Nissan Chapeau Concept.

Yes! More like the Cube!



and 20 later they released it and renamed it Cube.

It's amazing going back and looking at some of the concept cars of the 80's...so many of them look like cars being released today.

sweeeeeeet

I have to admit...I would probably enjoy riding around in that thing.

"PETROL MONOCYCLE."
"The picturesque machine shown below was shown at the Milan Exposition by the House of Garavaglia. It was, it appears, a genuine success.
The principle is easily understood by examining the figure. The big tyre with its rim fitted internally with ball-bearings, upon which the fixed frame sits, which supports both the driver of this strange vehicle, and the petrol engine; the rim of the tyre is moreover toothed on the side, and engages with the pinion of the engine; this can be seen at the bottom right of the picture. In sum, the mobile tyre rolls around the built fixed engine.
This arrangement is certainly amusing and jolly, but it is strange to note that this fantastic apparatus is however more perfect (in theory) than the ordinary motorcycle, since it implements direct command, without intermediaries uselessly absorbing power!"

It is however, much less perfect in practice. Note the suspicious-looking wheel out on the left. A stabiliser? Shouldn't there be one on each side?
