to create the real flying broom, alessandro russo silveira turns an electric unicycle into a magic broomstick. the device – measuring 51cm in length – is made from carbon steel with electrostatic painting, and it is fitted with a small saddle seat to make for a much more comfortable ride. it attaches, as well as detaches, on top of an electric unicycle and a supporting frame. the rider simply leans forward to accelerate and leans backward to brake again.
the real flying broom is offered with four different designs – the nuvem 1.0, nuvem 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 – which range in performance, from a training broom through to an excelling, sporty and more stable model. each design also differs in styling, from small gold details to a spectrum of wood-like shade finishes.
