Electric unicycles: The power to climb Death Hills.
What Are Alt-Wheels?
Alternative Wheels.
Alt-Wheels are:
– Made for a single rider
– Smaller than bicycles
– Affordable
– Portable
Electric skateboards, electric scooters, electric unicycles, the Onewheel, the Jyroball.
Alt-Wheels differs from “micromobility.” That’s all in this post.

Any EV maker not pouring bet-the-company resources into electric motors will be eaten by China.

Op-Ed: How Cities Should Regulate Scooters
Lime’s rider-analysis data shows, however, that with each added step that a user has to walk to find a scooter, the less likely riders will choose a scooter as an alternative to a taxi.

PMD Etiquette Every Singaporean Should Know
If there are pedestrians — especially if they are children or the elderly — give way. If there are crowded areas, instead of stubbornly choosing to ride, just walk your device.
Make sure to ring your bell before you overtake pedestrians so that they can move aside. If they choose not to move aside, adjust by just walking your PMD until you get ahead of them.
Adjusting doesn’t mean that you lose, it means that you are choosing safety. That is exactly what we should do whenever we are using PMDs in general, we should choose safety, first and foremost.
Boldfaced emphasis added by me.
TTSH reports spike in injuries involving PMD riders
A large percentage of those admitted had serious injuries; and more than half the PMD riders admitted were injured when they skidded. In the period studied, the hospital also witnessed six fatalities.
