We'd suggest the Wheelsurf is best suited to demonstration and stunt work and could find itself regular work at shows, motorsport events and other public entertainments in the hands of an experienced rider.

As the videos on the Wheelsurf site show, an expert rider can rotate 360 degrees inside the wheel whilst riding along at a steady speed - it's spectacular and entertaining to watch, but it's not for your average rider or someone who is in any way risk-averse.

If your character contains a liberal dose of the daredevil, and your reflexes and coordination are exceptional, the Wheelsurf will supply all the adrenalin you'll need, without the need for high speeds.

The latest 2005 model with landing gear and the works will set you back US$2500 and a delivery time of 30 days from order. The version without the landing gear (caveat emptor), sells for US$1900.

The Wheelsurf is available in red, blue, green or black with optional colours made to order upon request.

The Wheelsurf can be ordered in Europe from Wheelsurf NL and from anywhere in the world from Wheelsurf Brazil.

I saw a very similar big boy toy at the Swedish F1 GP way back in 1976 ! Almost exactly the same but run with a noisy & smokey 2 stroke motor !!
