Bet you haven't seen one of these before! This unique single-track all-terrain vehicle rocks three wheels with massive balloon tires inside a proprietary monotrack system, driven by a grunty electric motor. But... How do you steer the thing?

Article says the top wheel moves the track side to side and this causes it to turn with a 6m (!) turning radius. Apparently leaning can get you a tighter turn but I think this might have maneuverability issues…
