A spherical/elliptical single-wheeled vehicle comprises a motor, pedals and a wheel. The motor comprises a motor shell and a spindle having two ends fixedly connected to the pedals respectively. The wheel is spherical or elliptical and is of a hollow structure having two ends formed with openings, and the wheel is arranged on the motor housing in a sleeving manner, is fixedly connected to the motor housing, and comprises a sleeve made from an elastic material. The wheel has a large contact area with the ground at any angles, thus the controllability of the single-wheeled vehicle is greatly improved; in addition, users can get on the vehicle easily, and the operation difficulty of the single-wheeled vehicle is lowered, and user experience is improved; and the reinforcing shells are used to support the two ends of the spherical/elliptical wheel, so that the structural stability of the spherical/elliptical single-wheeled vehicle is improved.
A spherical/elliptical single-wheeled vehicle, comprising a motor, pedals and a wheel, the motor comprising a motor housing and a spindle, wherein two ends of the spindle are fixedly connected to the pedals, respectively, the wheel is spherical or elliptical and is of a hollow structure having two ends formed with openings, and the wheel is arranged on the motor housing in a sleeving manner, is fixedly connected to the motor housing, and comprises a sleeve made from an elastic material, wherein first convex strips are arranged on an outer circumferential wall of the motor housing in an axial direction, and grooves matched with the first convex strips are formed in inner circumferential wall of the wheel.
A spherical/elliptical single-wheeled vehicle, comprising a motor, pedals and a wheel, the motor comprising a motor housing and a spindle, wherein two ends of the spindle are fixedly connected to the pedals respectively, the wheel is spherical or elliptical and is of a hollow structure having two ends formed with openings, and the wheel is arranged on the motor housing in a sleeving manner, is fixedly connected to the motor housing, and comprises a sleeve made from an elastic material, wherein each said pedal comprises a conical shield plate, and ends, close to the wheel, of the shield plates have a diameter equal to that of the openings of the wheel.
