独轮摩托车 - BEFORE WE GO双关语、俏皮话解析

A monowheel, it`s a like cross between a unicycle, a motorcycle, and a hamster wheel. Here`s what a monowheel looks like. Though in fact, you are looking at the fastest monowheel on the planet, a vehicle named WarHorse, which recently rode to a Guinness world record speed of just over 61 miles per hour.

It makes motorcycles look safer than Volvos partly because of the challenge for riders to keep control and not start looping around inside of the motorized wheel.

So, like many things in life, it`s a balancing act. It can throw you for a loop, you can find yourself going round and round in circles where other racers fear to tread. But when you circle back, when you look at this with circuitous logic, pulling off a stunt like that makes for one epic wheelie.

这段独轮摩托车的视频只能是看了视频才能真正了解，所以建议大家还是去“点击原文”那里看看——只能电脑上看得到哦。总之，这辆独轮摩托车颠覆了我们对独轮车的印象，可谓是划时代的产品，还以61英里每小时的速度创造了独轮摩托车的吉尼斯世界纪录呢！
