From Motorcycles, Tricycles, Unicycles, One Wheel, Two Wheels or a Monowheel. Ugly, fugly, weird or the endeared! The confusing, cruising or even the amusing.
This community has it all!

Other than one prototype unit, however, the locomotive was never produced. By 1850, steam was clearly king, and any horse-powered railways outside of streetcar operations were on the way out. Thus, the Impulsoria became nothing more than a strange curiosity of an early railway engine.
Thanks!
The Wikipedia article talked about how well the trials went. I was wondering if any were actually used.
As Locomotives are the precursor to cars, they are allowed, I also found this while researching the weirdest wheels yet.
