Opinion
editI'm not sure what to make of this device, as regards its notability. Apparently there was only the one (full-size) model made, no indication that it was ever more than a guy's cool home-made toy. Certainly no attempt at any kind of production seems to have been made, which makes sense as the device apparently was nearly impossible to steer or stop. As such there is no indication that it had any impact on any future engineering designs. It appears that every now and then some handy guy builds himself a monowheel toy.
On the other hand, I guess in a way it's part of automotive history. Well not really. Anyway, I can't bring myself to nominate it for deletion, but if someone does, I don't see how it can survive, unless more sources are found. Herostratus (talk) 03:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

is this Philip K. Dick's "wheel"?
editSeems to me, without bothering to go look at the book in question, that the characters in Dick's well-known opus Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep get into and then drive their "wheels" all over the Bay Area. And that wheels appear in some of his other works. If this is indeed the case, shouldn't this fact be mentioned in this article? Hayford Peirce (talk) 20:11, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
