Hey, motorcycle people. What was this?

I pulled up beside a guy all decked out in fancy green and black outfit with matching helmet. He was riding a black box on one wheel. Looks kind of like a little motorized unicycle.

No handles or anything.

What was that?

1. There are a couple of those near where I live.

I see them on the bike and walking trails.

Pretty cool. I'm too old to try such a thing.

There are several different electric unicycles out there. Search Google for Electric Unicycle, and you'll find them.

3. Yep. That's it. Are they allowed on public streets?

That looks really dangerous.

4. I see them frequently in downtown Toronto.

I'll be walking from my office to Union Station and someone riding one of those things will whiz past me on the street. To the best of my knowledge they're street legal here. Riders are required by law to wear a helmet but most don't. Those things go fast enough that anyone not wearing a brain-bucket is going to have a bad time if they get dumped.

They're not as common as the little e-bikes and e-scooters, though. Those things are all over the place to the point that the owners of my office building have a sign in the lobby stating that they're not allowed in the building. I don't see why riders can't bring them up and store them in their offices during the day but them's the rules, apparently.
