Name a single example. Politicians using their political power (soapbox) is not the same thing as government oppression

wittenbunk··on How to stay safe and happy on an electric unicycle
I will never ride an EUC because of a design flaw due to physics: in order to slow down you must first accelerate.

The EUC works by tilting you forward to speed up, and tilting you backward to slowdown. So the control system has to always leave a margin in case you need to slow down or if max power is reduced. But if the battery dies faster than expected or you reach a steep downhill while already at top speed...too bad, nothing the system can do to keep you from faceplanting at max speed.

No thanks. Wheels are cheap, I'll take at least two.
