So you've decided for your character's Cool Car to be a motorcycle. But aren't hogs overdone by Hells Angel lookalikes and feeling that the Japanese bikes are too generic? Then lucky for you there exists a type of motorbike called the Monowheel that is essentially a motorcycle IN A GIANT WHEEL. This type of vehicle is typically used in futuristic or fantasy settings despite it having pedal versions in the late 19th century. The issue of fast acceleration and sudden braking leaving the rider spinning inside the wheel itself is usually ignored or handwaved. A Sub-Trope of One-Wheeled Wonder. Compare Rolling Attack, which describes a living (or robotic) being temporarily adopting a similarly rolling form for aggressive purposes. |

In Eric, a treadmill being used as a punishment in Hell is pulled off its axis by the Luggage, and briefly becomes a sapient-pearwood-powered engine of destruction before falling to bits. | |

The G.I. Joe Nintendo video game featured vehicles that could be stolen from Cobra armories by any of the playable Joes. One of the most commonly appearing vehicles was the Buzz Boar, a giant sawblade-based monowheel with an enclosed pilot's capsule in the middle and weapons on its outer shell. Notable for being able to scale walls and ceilings with ease, and for firing spiraling energy shots that traveled around it in an expanding orbit instead of something like missiles, since it moves easily in two dimensions and needs weapons that would be able to do the same. | |

Chaotic: The Mowercycle is this plus some metal teeth that can either be used to climb vertical surfaces and even run across cavern ceilings or be used to vandalize your enemy's city by powersawing through their stone statues. A set release of the card game introduced the Bi-Mowercycle. As you can tell it has two wheels to allow more city wrecking fun. Although this may disqualify it for being a monowheel of doom. |

Blackhawk The Nazis have a superweapon called the War Wheel, which is one of these on steroids. How it manages to roll when the "turning" part is way bigger than the immobile part isn't explained. One of their villains, the Hoopster, once used used a flaming version of this◊ against the Blackhawks. Later on another villain impersonated the Hoopster and rode a similar flying vehicle.◊ The Captain America / Batman crossover by John Byrne has Captain America face off against a War Wheel in his first scene of the book. |

Arduin: Dungeon #1 Caliban has a magikal construct called a "Warwheel" that ranges from 10-24 feet high. It takes the shape of a wheel with conical spikes coming out of the tread with a large eye and a long tentacle in the hub on each side. | |

Chouriki Sentai Ohranger had the Giant Roller (dubbed the Defender Wheel in Power Rangers Zeo), although it was generally used as an attack rather than transport. There was also Tackle Boy (the Warrior Wheel in Zeo), a large wheel that was a Transforming Mecha (themed after a football player for some reason); it would arrive on the battlefield in wheel form (typically being shot out of a cannon from the mecha hangar), then transform to robot mode; for the finisher, it would transform back to wheel mode, and the OhBlocker/Super Zeo Megazord would roll it towards the target; once it got close, it would transform back to robot form, turn into energy and tackle the monster, causing the monster to explode. |

The South Park episode "The Entity" has Mr. Garrison invent "IT", a high speed, super-efficient monowheel. Despite the control system requiring a joystick up the ass and in the mouth, it's still wildly popular, as "it's still better than dealing with the airlines". One can only guess how popular it would have been if they'd figured out that you don't need to use the anal/oral joysticks to move — there are alternative controls on the IT, too. The episode is making fun of the not-yet-released Segway, which at the time was a closely guarded secret with lots and lots of wild public speculation. | |

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon: HELIANTHUS Machines are huge (significantly larger than the player's mech), AI-guided, self-propelled grinder wheels that vaguely resemble the flowers they get their name from, if a flower could be made entirely of spinning serrated edges. Naturally, keeping to the air is the best way to handle them, but in that case they're also capable of spewing fire and shooting missiles. Certainly one of the Rubicon Research Institute's most deranged creations. | |
