Everyone will remember this cool invention from Wildwood. I promised to share this footage with the creator, but lost his contact info. Please forward the link if you know how to get in touch.

Cheers!

That's Terry riding that thing... !! How fast does it go without a kite..?

I don't have his personal address, but you could use:
info "at" electricwheel.co
Yes, .co, not .com

I am still wondering if you could make something similar with a barrow and dropped foot plates off the axle. No motor just wind powered .

Has anybody who has tried this think you can do it without the wheel powered ? Only kite power.

Blade,
the Solowheel is not only motorized, it also has gyro stabilization. (Think "Segway" without all the "extra" stuff like handles and an additional wheel.)
