As I walked back from lunch today, a guy whizzed by me, on the sidewalk, on an electric unicycle. No seat – instead he stood on axle extensions. Neat machine! He was going at least 15 mph. He had a controller in his hand. I’m sure that it was self-balancing, like a Segway. It must be ankle stiffness that supplied counter torque to wheel torque.

I’ve never seen anything like it before. I have no use for one, other than just plain fun. Didn’t appear to have much space for a high capacity battery, but he went by me (from behind) so fast that I didn’t get a good look. Has anyone else seen these?

P. S. – Now I’m wondering if there was a seat, and I just didn’t see it.

I'll just wait until we have suspensor belts, and I'll glide around like the Baron Harkonnen.

Hah! Modern reality, straight from the comic strip about the prehistoric age fondly known as "BC".

My co-worker has one.

I call him Peter from BC.
