Blathering blatherskite!
Everyone of age heard this in his voice which makes it even more awesome
Bikers: "Cars are too safe. I'd like to do away with lateral stability, crumple zones and a roof."
This dude: "...Hold my beer."
that thing is still safer than a car. by so much they aren't even in the same league.
unless you get hit be a car. because the car is the danger.
And, jokes aside, that dude is dressed to handle the fallout much better than anyone who ever got behind the wheel of a car.
Am actually really interested in the safety stats. Would guess on those things you aren't doing more than 40, so probably not too bad for rider vs e.g. motorbikes where the temptation is to crazy speeds. And with it being smaller/lighter than a car it's clearly safer for pedestrians and other vehicles.
Some of the more expensive ones are advertised to go 100+ kph
Yeah but how many users are actually that brave/stupid? 100kph feels FAST on a motorbike, I can't imagine how it feels on one of these 😬
This thing will literally catapult you the second there’s a minor glitch.
As a user of just about every type of PEV most electric unicycles are generally safer than scooters assuming you are geared up. You have a much bigger wheel to go over bumps and most modern models will have suspension and good regenerative breaking. Scooters have tiny little wheels and handle bars to cause major injuries.
Most people on euc\electric unicycles are well trained compared to any other PEV group I've seen, not that there's not a fair share of idiot squids.
Bikes are actually safer than cars when you count all threats. The sedentary years behind the wheel are killing you.
Doing calisthenics while driving a bike doesn't sound particularly safe.
If it worked for the Mongolians it'll work for the Mongols.
By that logic, pedestrians are the most foolish.
I realize you're joking, but the vehicles considered to be the first motor car and first motorcycle were both created in the same year, FYI - neither is a response to the other.
Life is like a hurricane,
One of my favorite Ducktales stories is that when they remade the theme for the 2017 reboot, the producer told Felicia Barton to sing it like "you can't believe you're actually singing the theme to Ducktales!"

I've been calling these dweebs gizmo duck for years lol
Looks like one of the robots from the animated movie Robots
What happens when the battery dies and you become a projectile? A guy tools around on one of these in my neighborhood and it seems orders of magnitude less safe than even motorcycling.
First you get warning beeps long before it's truly out of battery then tilt back and slow down to stop. You can enable emergency low battery mode on some and go very slow for a little longer but even in that mode it will slow to stop before it totally runs out.
i'd imagine it slows, not stops automatically.

the way they're riding, they need a furry tail/buttplug combo
🎶 Try'na catch me ridin' furry 🎶
Did you really have to show me this? Now I have a desire to buy (borrow?) one of these for a Halloween costume.
Does every city have one of these guys? Although this one doesn't have the small rearview mirrors on his helmet.
