Look at this weird Ultimate-type uni!

This is on ebay. Apparently it's vintage 60's, but I've never seen this
before. It actually has TWO wheels, or it could also be looked at as
just one super-wide wheel.

so are you going to bid on it?

I doubt it; I just thought that since it was a curious little bit of
uni-related history, that I would post it. 🙂

you've gotta coordinate how to get the pedals in the presumably wooden
discs, without them bending when you put weight on them. if it were me
i'd weld them, but then again thats just me.

on these they have a tube that runs in the middle, and then they have,
well, its pretty much a straight crank, that runs though it, so its
bolted on one wheel, and the pedal is on the other.

Zyllan has a homebrew job similar to that. I think he referred to it
as an untimate dicycle.
They have been posted in here before but see:

Convince me I am wrong about that? But *of course *you might convince
me I am wrong about that. But try an easier one first. Convince me
that 2 and 2 doesn't make 4.

Many devices of that type have been made over the years. The most recent
one I saw (late 80s) was called the Ski-Xer or something similar,
intended as an exercise/balance training tool for skiers. It was more
crappily made than the GoGo Cycle however, and I feel if you did any
turns on it you'd have ripped the "tire" right off.

You could think of these as sort of a training device for ultimate
wheeling, and they're a great leg workout, but a regular ultimate wheel
is "ultimately" more satisfying if you're a unicyclist.
