Ford has patented the design of the car with detachable rear wheel-unicycle

Quite an interesting patent issued to Ford motor company with the U.S. patent and trademark office. The document is called "Self-propelled unicycle is engagable with a vehicle". It describes a vehicle with a hybrid design of the car is "integrated" unicycle with an electric drive.


The intent of the inventors, if necessary, the rear portion of a parked car rises slightly via an automatic hydraulic Jack, allowing the wearer to easily detach the rear wheel. After disconnecting the wheel turns into a unicycle with a motor, a seat and pedals that can be used for further movement, eg in traffic jams. In addition, it reduces the risk of car theft.


However, the presence of a patent on a particular development gives no warranty on its use in mass-produced devices. The idea itself looks interesting, but there are drawbacks. This design is not too successful from the point of view of practicality — from the inevitable contact with the elements of the device and because of the proximity to the road surface, the clothing holder can get dirty after a short trip. published by P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
