The proliferation of cheap electric scooters and bicycles has given birth to a rapidly growing custom scene, where folks chop up these electric two-wheelers and create all sorts of weird and wonderful machines. There are tons of cool backyard creations out there, but one of them, a KTM-inspired electric monocycle from India, caught my eye recently.
Showcased in an India-based YouTube channel called Creative Science, this funky one-wheeler was designed with KTM's best-selling Duke street bike in mind. The best part is that the video shows a step-by-step procedure on how to make this thing yourself. Judging from the finished product, it looks pretty impressive, and does a good job of hiding the rather shoddy cutting and welding that we see at the start of the video. Apart from borrowing parts from various scooters and e-bikes, building this thing requires quite a bit of fabrication, too.
