Mono Scooter
Ever since I saw 'The Lorax' I have loved the idea of a mono scooter. A single wheeled gyroscopically stabilised ride-about. So here is my version of the mono-scooter.
Started with the tyre which is a simple circle extruded along the path of another circle, at right angles to the original. The tread was created by extruding every other single surface in one row, creating a mirror of that in the x axis and then duplicating and revolving, repeating the duplication and revolving steps until the whole tyre is completed. |

Re: Mono Scooter
I then added a cowling over the tyre, along with a motor cover.

Re: Mono Scooter
Next comes the rider's seat which is mounted on the wheel cowling. Mounted through the motor housing is a 'crash' bar.

Re: Mono Scooter
Handlebars, mounted on the front. The handlebars have a display attached to them giving the rider a digital display of speed, power output and efficiency, etc. The handles have the detail of grip and thumb buttons for various functions.

Re: Mono Scooter
And the finished scooter, fully lit and textured in Bryce.
I've added a set of twin retro-style headlights. There are also two LED indicators mounted in the crash bar. At the back, not visible in this shot is a single red brake light. |
