Magicwheel scooter does 20mph on one tyre

It may look like a spare tyre, but the makers of this one-wheeled scooter claimed yesterday that it will take Britain by storm.
The "Magicwheel" has no handlebars or brakes, can turn on a sixpence and reach speeds of up to 20mph (32.1 km/h).
"This is an ideal alternative for people who are used to riding skateboards, scooters, and roller blades," said Kevin Johnston, of Magicwheels.
"It is much faster than a skateboard due to the sports wheel and it also goes further on each push of the foot. It will certainly get the user noticed."
