I do not want to diminish your excitement, but, no! Heavily regulated in the EU, poor range, and slow speed. Plus long platform with small wheels, meaning you are really limited when offroading on it.

My heart is set on the Kingsong S22 Pro, thanks to its impressive 200km range and 70km/h speed (without mods). A girl from my neighborhood rides one, and she often joins us on bike trails. That one-wheel beast is built for conquering tough trails! not the girl, the unicycle =)

If she's joining you then it seems she is conquering the trails! 😁 No matter how many safety features it has, there's no way I'd get on an electric unicycle and not end up injuring myself 😅

I suppose I was poking a little fun at how the tone of the trailer is in contrast with the scooter's fear of little puddles 💦☔🛴

actually, they are much safer!

  • The breaking path is like x3 times shorter because the engine works in reverse instead of tiny disks, and you have a bigger wheel to grip the surface.

  • Your hands are free, so you are ready to use them when you fall. The scooterists suffer the death grip syndrome as they fall, holding the handlebars till the end.

  • Most unicyclists wear full-face helmets, biker pants, and even Spine Protection, or jackets with similar effects. While scooter riders wear t-shirts and baseball hats.

  • gyro has several backup systems, and if one fails, you aren't going anywhere.
