Barring the odd three-wheeler tricycle, most wheeled vehicles throughout history have sported an even number of wheels, usually four for bigger vehicles like carriages and cars. Bikes and motorbikes have two. But that doesn't seem streamlined enough for some futuristic aesthetics. This trope describes creatures (usually robots or cyborgs) or vehicles that move by balancing on a single wheel, or occasionally a spherical ball. Try not to think too hard about how it stays upright. Truth in Television insofar as the unicycle has been in use since at least the late 19th century, when riders of penny-farthings found that they could lean forward, raising the much smaller rear wheel off the ground, and still maintain balance. Eventually the rear wheel was left off of the design altogether, resulting in the modern unicycle. However, it has largely been regarded as a gimmick since the development of the safety bicycle, a significantly more practical and safer pedal-powered vehicle. Monowheel Mayhem is a subtrope in which a vehicle is a single wheel, with the rider and components sitting inside it. Non-robotic creatures to which this trope applies are examples of Bizarre Alien Locomotion. |

Roadkill Rodney, a robotic enemy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game and its ports. Not only could it stay upright on one wheel, but it could send out an electric cable to try to zap a turtle. Whether or not it succeeded, it never fell over until it was defeated. | |

Officer Shrift from the animated adaptation of The Phantom Tollbooth gets around on a wheel that resembles that of a rolling chair, connected to something that looks like a car jack that can be raised to compensate for his height. It's unclear whether this is a vehicle that he is seated on under his long jacket or a part of him or what. | |

Ricardo Fellini in Gundam Build Fighters occasionally uses a support unit called the Meteor Hopper, a one-wheeled motorcycle for his Wing Gundam Fenice. He eventually stops using it after upgrading his Gundam to transform. | |

Some of Dr. Eggman's robots from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series are like this. The earliest (and probably most notable) example is the Motobug from Sonic the Hedgehog. | |

In Campaign 3 of Critical Role Sam plays the automaton Fresh Cut Grass, who gets along on a single wheel. He's implied to have to lift himself up stairs step by step, but can navigate them thus far. | |

In the Warhammer 40,000 Gaiden Game Gorkamorka, one of the Kustom Leg Replacements that an Ork can randomly acquire from a visit to the Doc's Serjery is the Gyro-Stabilised Monowheel. This crude prosthetic consists of a single wheel attached to an engine that replaces the Ork's legs. A model with a Monowheel increases their Movement stat but is unable to move through difficult terrain, board vehicles or climb walls. | |

DuckTales: Fenton Crackshell of 1987's DuckTales and Darkwing Duck gets around this way as Gizmoduck. Besides the question of how he stays upright, none wonders where his feet go when he transforms. Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera of 2017's DuckTales also has a single wheel at the base of his Gizmoduck armor, although the armor is at least bulky enough that it's believable his feet fit above it. |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: "Visor's" (actually Bruno's) Duel Runner "Delta Eagle" has a very unique shape compared to other duel runners in the series. While most look like highly customized motorcycles (aka they have two wheels), his has a single massive wheel behind the rider's seat, while the front has a curved angular shape resembling a beak. When he rides it, the whole thing balances on the back wheel. However, when it's parked, it uses two tiny wheels on the front to prevent it from falling over, kind of like a tricycle. Those don't come in contact with the ground when he drives. A flashback from Bruno's life before he came to the current era reveals that his peculiar configuration will be commonplace in the future. | |

Ciaphas Cain: One of the techpriests in Emperor's Finest and Caves of Ice had his lower body replaced with a single wheel. Made even worse by the fact that techpriests have huge metal dendrites attached to their backs and like to replace as much of their body with metal as possible, though Ciaphas mentions that he must have very good gyroscopes to work. | |

Wildstar has the Grinder mounts and the Uniblades, preferred by the Exiles and Dominion respectively. They are interesting both in the fact that while they have one wheel, the rider's placement varies. With Grinders, they sit on a support out in front of it, while the Uniblades have the riders on a strut behind the wheel. Also, both technically could be considered cheating; they use antigravity to keep stable and prevent themselves from tipping. | |
