The single-wheeled balance vehicle includes: a wheel provided on a wheel frame, a motor transmission mechanism fixed in the wheel frame and arranged to drive the vehicle according to acquired manned mode information; a wheel cover arranged to partially cover the wheel; a skeleton arranged to reinforce mechanical strength of the wheel cover; and footboards arranged to be stepped on by both feet of a driver in driving. The wheel cover partially covers the wheel and in embodiments may be in a surface contact, so that the contact area is larger, contact stress is more dispersive, a strain is relatively small, the deformation of the wheel cover can be reduced, the possibility that a tire or a hub motor is rubbed or locked due to deformation of the wheel cover in the related art can be avoided, and safety performance can be improved.
