 Erskine Coach 1927. The only Erskine in the Netherlands. Remarkable detail is the shield on the back with a number 4, which stands for the 4 brakes, on the four wheels. It's a Studebaker, and not. The Erskine was built in and America under the name Erskine, which was an unknown brandname in Rurope. To hitchhike on the wellknown name the automobile was named Erskine Studebaker Coach F17.

While the unicycle could never be accused of being the most practical form of transport, one or two designs that have emerged in recent years (like the Unomoto and Bombadier's Embrio concept ) have identified the potential of combining self-balancing technology with a format that is, well, inherently unbalanced. Known as the electric self-balancing unicycle or SBU, this new incarnation from Focus Designs makes the challenge 50% easier by incorporating a system of accelerometers and gyroscopes to control the forward and backward balance, leaving the rider to concentrate mainly on sideways movement. The other big difference from the traditional design is that there are no pedals or crank arms, just footrests to help balance while you glide along at up to 8 mph while controlling speed by leaning forward and backwards.
