Why aren’t monocylces used anymore?

516 views

I’m genuinely curious why something that looked so neat back then phased out. Were they unsafe? what advantage was there over a motor bike?

The monocycle was no more then a gimick from the start, and still is. They are relatively hard to control as they move around a lot during acceleration and braking. The brake distance is also limited compared to a traditional two wheeled cycle. You typically also get a number of other issues like the weight, suspension, visability, etc. And there are basically no good advantages to the design other then the looks.
