Added DiffLines:

* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': "Visor's" ([[spoiler:actually Bruno's]]) Duel Runner "Delta Eagle" has a very unique shape compared to other duel runners in the series. While most look like highly customized motorcycles (aka they have two wheels), his has a single massive wheel behind the rider's seat, while the front has a curved angular shape resembling a beak. When he rides it, the whole thing balances on the back wheel. However, when it's parked, it uses two tiny wheels on the front to prevent it from falling over, kind of like a tricycle. Those don't come in contact with the ground when he drives. [[spoiler:A flashback from Bruno's life before he came to the current era reveals that his peculiar configuration will be commonplace in the future]].

Incorrect information. "Not CGI" goes against both testimony from the VFX team and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPrXFX2oYFU


** BB-8 from ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' is a little droid that rolls around on a ball. This was a practical effect and not CGI.

* Roadkill Rodney, a robotic enemy from the arcade game ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' and its ports. Not only could it stay upright on one wheel, but it could send out an electric cable to try to zap a turtle. Whether or not it succeeded, it never fell over until it was defeated.

Barring the odd three-wheeler, most wheeled vehicles throughout history have sported an even number of wheels, usually four for bigger vehicles like carriages and cars. Biked and motorbikes have two. But that doesn't seem streamlined enough for certain futuristic aesthetics. This trope describes creatures (usually robots or cyborgs) or vehicles that move by balancing on a single wheel, or occasionally a spherical ball.

* The robot mascot for the website/image search engine [[https://www.tineye.com TinEye]] is a one-wheeler. Also a case of InvisibleAnatomy, since that wheel is not visibly linked to the rest.

* Fenton Crackshell of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' gets around this way as Gizmoduck. Besides the question of how he stays upright, [[FridgeLogic none wonders where his feet go when he transforms]].
* Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' also has a single wheel at the base of his Gizmoduck armor, although the armor is at least bulky enough that it's believable his feet fit above it.
