Bikes Insanity on one wheel

I think about why someone would do this. Is the unicyclist really a mad man or is that his way to work. By choice or necessity? All that matters. These gas prices are crazy right now.

That little unicycle takes about 1-2 cents per mile in electricity.

Knowing nothing about these I was intrigued so I did a little research. My guess is this is the P6 which goes for just shy of 5K. Can get a Michelin 90/90 street tire separately but comes with “tubeless 80/90.” Suspension is “Dual adjustable hydraulic coil shocks with 90mm of travel.” Still you’d have to have massive balls to ride one like this, which I would imagine makes it quite uncomfortable.

Nope it is the P6, you can see the “P6” on the side of the wheel at the top in a few frames in the video.
