Solowheel

The team behind the Solowheel electric unicycle has unveiled a learning aid that sweeps away all competition. The Solowheel Brush deploys large brushes where you might expect trainer wheels, providing similar stability but without inhibiting steering.​​

Shane Chen's Inventist is the firm responsible for an e-unicycle known as the Solowheel and the much copied Hovertrax "hoverboard." Now the team has hit Kickstarter with a new smaller and lighter version of the Solowheel called the Iota, which despite the name sports two wheels instead of one.

The truth is, many perfectly fantastic and innovative products will never become household names, no matter how deserving they might be. With that in mind, we pay tribute to five products that only total nerds are likely to ever truly fall in love with.
