* ''VideoGame/ArmoredCoreVIFiresOfRubicon'': HELIANTHUS Machines are huge (significantly larger than the player's mech), AI-guided, self-propelled grinder wheels that vaguely resemble the flowers they get their name from, if a flower could be made entirely of spinning serrated edges. Naturally, keeping to the air is the best way to handle them, but in that case they're also capable of spewing fire and shooting missiles. Certainly one of the Rubicon Research Institute's most [[MechanicalMonster deranged creations]].

** The Nazis have a superweapon called the [[http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2009/02/26/thursday-whos-who-the-war-wheel/ War Wheel,]] which is one of these on steroids. How it manages to roll when the "turning" part is way bigger than the immobile part isn't explained.

** A recent set release of the card game introduced the Bi-Mowercycle. As you can tell it has two wheels to allow more city wrecking fun. [[FridgeLogic Although this may disqualify it]] for being a monowheel [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom of doom]].
* On ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', the ''Tom Slick'' short "The Apple-Less Indian 500" involved a monowheel race in the Nevada desert.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** The episode "The Entity" has Mr Garrison invent "IT", a high speed, super efficient monowheel. Despite the control system requiring a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything joystick up the ass and in the mouth]], it's still wildly popular as "it's still better than dealing with the airlines." And one can only guess how popular it would have been [[spoiler:if they'd figured out that you ''don't'' need to use the anal/oral joysticks to move -- there are alternative controls on the IT, too]].
** An early title for this episode was "The Ginger Device". It was making fun of the not-yet-released Segway, which at the time was a closely guarded secret with lots and lots of wild public speculation.
