Hornet is a one-wheeled superbike developed by Liam Ferguson which seems unsteady at first sight. But if you take a closer look, you’ll notice that it has two smaller side-by-side wheels at the rear end, which actually serve as the stabilizer that keeps it balanced gyroscopically whenever it is parked.
So when the Hornet accelerates, the rear stabilizer wheels will get lifted and be leaving all the weight on the central wheel. The Hornet has a dual 74 horsepower (55 kW) in-wheel hydrogen fuel-cell six-phase Neodymium-Iron (Nd-Fe) electric engines, which allows it to top at a speed of 235 KM per hour. It’ll definitely bring you some unusual excitement and worries as well.
