Yes, or a very nutty prof.
or a very nutty Pet Detective in Asylum.
Makes sense, they both have the same driving style.
It wasnt until this very moment that I realized I'd like to see a new Ace Ventura movie starring Jim Carey updated to match his years of experience of dramatic role expansion.

BLUE! 42! 42! Hut!
Most if not all mad scientists are actually mad engineers.
Depends if you're testing a mad hypothesis
It's an interesting stage in development, too: bald on top, but still has the color. Maybe they're only a grumpy scientist?
Maybe it was an experiment gone explosively wrong
Wikipedia says it's the son.
That's also the reason my dad gave for his graying hair!
Every time I see a monowheel vehicle, the driver is leaning out of it to see where he's going.
The lat workouts are a feature, not a bug.
I feel like that would be the only way to turn
"So you just conveniently stick your head out the side to see where you're- sputtered coughing from the swallowed bugs"
Don't have to deal with that nowadays!
Found a video: https://youtu.be/-EpYy44hcyM
Ngl, fully expected a clip from South Park.
The first thing I thought of was Mr Garrison in the wheel 😂
Ok but that guy in the back clearly had the nicest design, just look at the dynamic in the lines on that wheel.

My view on history because of my age and growing up as a nerdy only child of parents who came of age in the 1960's has given me a really crazy notion of how amazing the ideas technology driven advancements looks in that time period between 1900 and about 1980. Everyone from scientists, inventors, to authors, and directors seemed to really think we were going to be doing some amazing shit by the year 2000. Maybe not even particularly "better" shit, but amazing shit.
I guess I was just into my imagination and science fiction back then.
What happens when you brake hard?
Exciting things, I would presume.
I just don’t understand why you have to control It with anus muscles
Still better than going thru the airports
That's not a sphere tho...
That's because you assume that it rolls, when in fact it spun!
The Gyroshere
Shh, don't harsh his mellow, look how happy he is
That's It?
Why does this dude look like a real life Syndrome?
Ok where do these airless tires keep going?
I feel like I've seen the concept work enough times on demonstrations that I'm justified wondering why I still gotta drag my butt to Mavis every few months
Imagine all the conveniences of a pressurized tire, but with terrible balance and constantly filling with dirt and debris. All those nooks and crannies, like an english muffin crossed with an out of balance washing machine.
They're great for off-road and heavy duty work applications.
They suck absolute ass on passenger cars.
Couldn't you resolve that by just covering the airless part? Like just because we don't have to inflate them anymore doesn't mean we need to constantly be seeing how not-inflated it is
Wouldn't that introduce a pretty big layer that can wear down? Any sort of fully opaque cover would have to be flexible to adapt to the road and I can't think of a material that isn't going to wear down from that, and at that point you're just back to inflated tires with extra steps, so you might as well use regular inflated tires.

Might be terrible wear and tear on the roads.
Of all the reasons to not have airless tires. This is the least likely answer.
If it were true - we wouldn't allow regular people to own Chevy 750 15,000 trucks to drive to their office jobs.
I mean tbch we probably shouldn't allow those big stinking trucks for people that don't have farm labor on the docket
round.
