Framed Print of Hemmings Unicycle, Hand-Powered Monowheel, 1869
Hemming's Unicycle, or Flying Yankee Velocipede, was a hand powered monowheel patented in 1869 by Richard C. Hemming. A monowheel is a one-wheeled single-track vehicle similar to a unicycle, but instead of sitting above the wheel, the rider sits either within it or next to it. The wheel is a ring, usually driven by smaller wheels pressing against its inner rim. Hand-cranked and pedal-powered monowheels were built in the late 19th century. Today, monowheels are generally built and used for fun and entertainment purposes, though from the 1860s through to the 1930s, they were proposed for use as serious transportation. © New York Public Library / Science Source
