I've had the Master a year now and I think it's great, for 2100 it's ideal for someone who is looking to step up from a non suspension wheel.

that said, if these perform beyond a 50cc gas scooter, you may need more than just your driver's license (50cc scooters don't require more than a vehicle driver's license.
that may someday come as a total bummer , but generally the companies can sell the thing with software that limits the speed to what gov't and police are demanding. but for those that want to go offroad or those that wanna risk faster speeds in the city, there is generally a way to unlock the wheel from that slower setting. I know that's what some electric dirt bikes makers do.
Also FYI...the most dangerous e-vehicles are skateboards and the onewheel board, because if your tire drops into a hidden animal/gopher/rabbit hole that is not visible bc covered by grass...that type of board will more or less stop immediately, and the rider gets tossed just like a cowboy riding an angry bull at the rodeo! can also get some kind of rock wedging itself into your street skateboard type wheel and that also can very easily get you thrown off the board. The sideways riding stance almost guarantees that you will trip over one of your own feet, and the most common injury with skateboard and onewheel is broken collar bone, bc when you are riding a sideways board stance like that, when you crash, your left or right upper shoulder hits first with all your weight and all the force of gravity.
It's a fun hobby but there's no reason to take unnecessary risks, the motorcycle industry has already innovated all the best types of clothes and armor that protect e-vehicle riders completely, or that lessen the impact and injury that the rider receives. Do not screw around, you won't want to be killed or maimed...go buy some nice quality motorcycle safety gear

Unicycle accident in NYC, almost killed him even with great helmet and protective gear:

Very enjoyed and satisfied every day, and very convincing.
Enough with the negativity.
I already stated "to each his own" and "there's nothing wrong with unicycles."
You won't prevent me from warning my fellow Slickdealers how
dangerous electric unicycles are, so stop the semi-stalking already.
Thanks for helping to warn everyone.

Electric scooters ARE safer than electric unicycles! ("EUC")
Indeed.
As for riding an electric unicycle, I wouldn't even attempt it. It would be far too risky for me. I nearly fell off a hoverboard already. It would take too much time and effort to master either one, and it would take even longer to become skilled enough to use either of them for practical purposes, like I do with my electric scooter.
Also, riding an electric unicycle looks totally ridiculous. Electric scooters look a lot more normal and socially acceptable imo. While I'm not overly concerned with how I look, it would not be fun to have people laugh at me on a unicycle.

Nope, the ULTIMATE would be some sort of jet pack or small flying machine.
EUCs force you to take the time to put in miles going super slow, granted there are riders who bite more than they can chew early on, until their skill catches up to their ego.
Scooters any grandma can jump one and think they can instantly yeet that thing going 50 mph with little to no training\learning.
You think you're doing a service to the general public by stating an opinion based on zero experience, when if fact it is completely false and could not be farther from the truth.
I can't comment on how you think euc riders "look" as that is highly subjective.
There is a reason riders from other devices are switching to EUCs... They are the best modes of transportation while having a blast.

If you want to see an "almost died", here's an e-scooter rider who almost died a couple months ago: https://bloomingtonian.
He lost control of his e-scooter and fish-tailed in front of an oncoming Jeep. Remember how I said that e-scooters can easily fish-tail, which beginners don't realize? But physics, right?

The fact that e-scooter riders have a culture of wearing far less padding and all the noobs doing dumb things shouldn't be an argument for the inherent safety of e-scooters, but rather just the perception of e-scooter lack of safety on the news.
Again, EUCs and e-scooters are dangerous in different ways. As long as you are aware of the weak points, keep proper maintenance of the vehicle, wear lots of safety gear, trying to ride in safer environments (not while raining, on safer roads, etc), then you can reduce likelihood and magnitude of injury.
Almost killed him? The person who recorded that video even states that the guy MAYBE had some broken ribs and a bloody nose. He was sitting up and lucid in that video. Not really helping your argument.

The only argument I agree with TH0R about is that e-scooters are safer for someone who is a total noob. But by that same token, it plays into your great argument that a total noob can immediately start flying 50 mph on a fast e-scooter without getting experience with the other ins and outs.

Both devices has the capability to kill you if you throw all caution to the wind... They can both be as safe as you want them to be. If you show restraint and learn to ride within your limits and control risk with gear and aquired skill. I ride both, love both, but there is nothing like riding an EUC... I used to buy season tickets to go skiing and snowboarding... no more, with an euc the world feels like my free mountian pass.

As for the laws of physics, it's overwhelmingly obvious and I will not explain it further. You're welcome to think whatever you want about that.
You're also welcome to think that balancing on a unicycle is easier than balancing on a scooter.
Glad you agree that e-scooters are safer for someone who is a total noob, but the truth is actually a lot closer to them being safer for intermediate users as well, with the safety levels getting closer to evening out at expert level. Regardless, any of these scenarios proves my point.
Electric unicycles are also extremely dangerous in that they have an autobraking mechanism at high speeds! I don't know all the details, but I don't need to. I know enough to avoid them all like the plague!
Debating it seems almost like borderline insanity. It's all already very obvious to everyone, including you. Tactics like trying to get me to explain obvious physics will not work, and neither will anything else. What comes to mind is, I'd rather play catch with a ball, or even throw it against a wall and catch the rebound, rather than juggling 4 or 5 balls at once. It doesn't make any sense for me to learn that, unless I want to join a circus, kind of like learning to ride an electric unicycle.
What are the dangers of commuting on a unicycle?
https://www.quora.com/What-are-th...a-unicycle
Here's an expert's post:
"Your skill level—that is, technique and physical fitness—should be very good if you're seriously attempting to commute on one wheel. You are asking about commuting, so I assume your skills are very good.
You just need to remember that you've got a single point of contact with the ground. If you slide, it doesn't take much to fall. Sure, you can get good at it. But, as my father would say, you can't break the laws of physics."
Sounds very familiar! My own words almost exactly. I must be a born unicycle maestro genius to have known these things without ever having ridden one!

What is your source for "autobraking"? as an avid euc rider I can assure you no such feature exists. Some eucs have a feature called tiltback where the pedals will give you feedback that you are begining to extract more power from the device than it has and keep you up. It is a safety feature, and most riders consider a welcome one at that.
