The Magic Wheel - Part Board, Part Scooter, All Fun

July 9th, 2007 by Al in Vehicle Gadgets

Magic Wheel

You don’t often see new types of transportation but the Magic Wheel is like nothing I’ve seen before, it’s bit like a skate board with one massive and one tiny wheel, then again it also looks a bit like a unicycle.

The story behind the magic wheel goes like follows:

A couple of years ago a Swiss designer was bored and was also sick and tired of everyone whizzing around on aluminum scooters so he thought sod it and retired to the garden shed for a while! The end result is staggering out came a sleek, sexy scooter that when mastered made travelling effortless and at the same time grabbed everyones atttention!

To get a better idea of what it’s all about, check the video:

The Magic Wheel is available in the UK for £119.

The Magic Wheel is a hungarian invention. The designer is also hungarian! Who is the swiss designer who were bored? May I know him?
Best regards, G.András from Hungary
