Monowheels are typically powered by an engine as with a motorcycle, with a chassis securing the steering, driver's seat, and propulsion mechanism to the interior of the wheel. Hand-cranked [ 2 ] and pedal-powered monowheels were patented [ 3 ] and built in the late 19th century; most built in the 20th and 21st century have been motorized.
