The Magic Wheel's Birth..
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 retired to the garden shed for a while and got to work! 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!

The Magic Wheel looks set to be next in-line when it comes to modest transportation fads such as the Razor scooter. While the unicycle remained lost in the realm of circuses and clowns, the Magic Wheel aims to change that by featuring all three forms of self-propelled transportation in a single mode of transport. Designed by the Swiss, the Magic Wheel will definitely get you noticed as you get around the neighborhood in this, and it makes the perfect ice breaker with strangers whom you meet on the road. The Magic Wheel retails for $162, and as usual, do wear all the necessary protective gear before heading out on it. (July 10, 2007)

Poker's trying to learn how to ride the Magic Wheel.
How long does it take before I can ride the Magic wheel?
The average user takes a couple of hours practice before they can comfortably ride the Magic wheel with both feet on the board. But even practise is great fun and the challenging aspect makes it very addictive! How do I change direction?
To avoid obstacles/minor turning you adjust your weight to weave in and out. If you want to change direction completely then put one foot down and spin around. The small directional wheel allows the user to change direction in a split second. How do I stop if there is no brake?
We have experimented with having a brake and we found that it works better without one. To stop in an emergency then simply jump off and grab the handle or let it fall on the floor. It is made out of reinforced plastic so it wont break! Where else can I buy one?
Currently The Magic wheel is only available to buy on the internet in the UK. Later in 2007 we are expecting the the Magic wheel to be stocked in stores throughout the UK and it should become available in other countries. How much does international shipping cost?
Delivery cost to United states and Canada is currently £45 UK pounds per Magicwheel. Europe mainland is £12 UK pounds per Magicwheel. We can offer shipping discounts on multiple orders. *Due to the shape of the box it costs the same rate to ship 2 as it does one so if this interests you please enquire.
今回インラインではありませんが、YouTube で視線が釘付けになってしまった " Magic Wheel" です。小さい補助輪が付いていますが、そこは一輪車なので簡単そうに見えて難しいかも知れません。でも体重移動で操縦するバランス感覚はインラインと似ているような気がします。９月１日より日本でも販売開始です。
