Title: ID This Mono Wheel Bike
Post by: Coronasan on July 17, 2017, 02:46:31 PM

Anyone know who makes the mono wheel bike?

I have not found it on the Antenocitis website, which is where the dropship comes from.

We should bombard Mantic with requests to release it...an Exclusive though so I imagine quite a few people would be unhappy to see it on general release.

It's just a fancier version of the pathfinder bike  from Deadzone.

OOP at the moment I think, but not likely gone for good.

"...fancier version"? Same bike isn't it?

It's a KS Exclusive.  That makes it fancy.  And probably twice as expensive or more.   :?

Well, I stumbled a bit on that, then thought, "Wait, what WOULD I call it? A 'mike'?"  lol

Marketing thought a Unike would not sell (and Legal thought it sounded like it caused certain injuries).

I think suicycle is a fitting name.

Mono-cycle. Same principle as a bi-cycle, just a wheel less.

A motor cycle is a motorised cycle... but it would normally be considered a motorised bi-cycle... so it wouldn't work for a mono-cycle.

How about a motor-semi-cycle?

Uni-bike is probably the catchiest...

Far too contentious to really worry about though :o
