The invention relates to the field of transportation, in particular to single wheel vehicles, which the driver controls in a standing position.
The technical result of the proposed invention is to increase the safety of using the unicycle.
The travelling of the unicycle over the surface is provided by the contact of the tire 17 with the surface and the rotation of the rim 25 with the tire 17 and the permanent magnets 27 around the axis 20. The unicycle when being operated is turned by tilting the unicycle to the side, said tilting being caused by the redistribution of the user's weight between the footrests 16. When moving, the user stands on the footrests 16. When the user travels on the unicycle over an uneven surface, provided is the damping (decrease in the amplitude) of mechanical vibrations, which occur as a result of travelling over an uneven surface, and which are transmitted from the wheel portion 19 to the footrests 16. This is due to the fact that the footrests 16 are connected to the axis 20 of the wheel portion 19 not directly, but via the shock absorbers, whose damping of oscillations is achieved by varying the volume of the gas 5 and the flow of the liquid 8. Thereby, the footrests 16 are rigidly connected to each other by the frame 13, due to which fact maintained is the same controllability of the unicycle when turning, as compared to one without the shock absorbers. If the frame 13 is absent, then the relative similar position of the footrests 16 is not provided, and, accordingly, the tilt of the unicycle does not clearly correspond to the weight redistribution that is provided by the user.
