Magicwheel scooter does 20mph on one tyre

It may look like a spare tyre, but the makers of this one-wheeled scooter claimed yesterday that it will take Britain by storm.

The "Magicwheel" has no handlebars or brakes, can turn on a sixpence and reach speeds of up to 20mph.



"This is an ideal alternative for people who are used to riding skateboards, scooters, and roller blades," said Kevin Johnston, of Magicwheels.

"It is much faster than a skateboard due to the sports wheel and it also goes further on each push of the foot. It will certainly get the user noticed."
