Apatent charge by Forda few calendar week ago discover a rather unorthodox alternative to throw a wheel in your trunk . Like the Batpod that ejected from the Batmobile in The Dark Knight , the back wheel of your elevator car could promptly transform into a ego - balancing electric unicycle .
The design resembles the one - pedal self - balance RYNOwe tried out last year . The rear , handlebar , electric battery , and upper department of Ford ’s self - move unicycle would blot out in your vehicle ’s trunk until , say , you needed to finish the last international mile of your commute in a crowded business district kernel , or just want to go for a joyride .
The fomite would also sport an machine-driven laborer organization so that arouse your vehicle and crop up the back bike off would be a lot easier than it is now when it come in to transfer a tire . And presumably there would be some build - in system to make it easier to merge the wheel with the upper fate of the unicycle because neither part would be peculiarly promiscuous or easy to impart .
Do n’t go track down to your local Ford monger demanding this lineament just yet , though . A register patent of invention is a far cry from an existent product , and there ’s no indication that Ford even has a working epitome yet . The society just wants to make indisputable that no one else , not even Batman , can offer this feature on their ride .
