  1. AquaSkipper

AquaSkipper could very well be the failed attempt of modern man to make something that functions as a water bicycle. It was invented by Shane Chan in 2003 and it is still popular.

  1. The Monowheel

Monowheel is the unicycle of Motorbikes. Just like unicycle, it is highly impractical and it is mostly used by stuntmen. All the same, man has gone as fast as 100 Km/h on this piece of tire.
