With its sleek design, the 'Monobike' is the wave of the future for motorcycle riders. These one-wheeled motorcycles were inspired by the WWII motorcycles, but with an extra twist: The Monobike contains a powerful rotary engine similar to the WWII airplanes.
Also, it has coil springs underneath the engine which also double as part of the frame. The new Monobike concept design is sure to be a big hit in the not-so-distant future.
