I'm envisioning a china doll powered Segway with gyro stabilization.....
Naaaaaaaaa....
And they call me nuts.

Motorize a tandem unicycle?!?!? That assumes that the builder can find someone just as crazy as he is, AND weighs about the same, to sit on the other seat. This might be why you don't see too many of those.WOW! That looks awesome, maybe your next one could be one of these? LOL!
Yea that's the plan, to be able to balance on the center wheel and steer by leaning or using jerk twists, same as a regular unicycle.nice after ya get the back one on you should be able to get pretty good speeds wonder if it can have both stabilizer wheels a couple inches off the ground and steer by leaning like a unicycle looks good though oh and now ya just need a little seat for cruising. i would love to see a vid of your next ride attempt
The rear wheel is fixed. I thought about using a swivel, but the only time I plan on using the wheel is for recovery from errors in balance,at faster speeds. I opted for the strait line stability of a fixed tailwheel ,same application as a wheelie bar on a motorcycle.Is the rear wheel a caster or rigid? It might turn better if it swiveled. Just guessing.
Second that. Please, please, please be careful on that thing. Especially after you put brakes on it. Having to execute a panic stop could end up a lot like running down a hill and tripping on a root (personal experience). First you get a flying lesson, then you get a physics lesson (gravity) then you get a first-aid lesson.I must say it is one of the strangest looking builds i have seen in my years Wayne, Do you think with practice there will be enough responsive throttle control to get some long distance 'wheelies' a happening? Any chance of a lil video when you have done some more tinkering/adjusting and got some more practice in, i would be interested in watching you tame this beats hehe...best of luck, i would highly recommend a helmet too ...safety first your head ain't as hard as the ground it will hit if you go arse over tit ;-)
