Whenever I see vehicles like this, I'm always like, how do you stop safely? Won't it become completely unstable once it loses momentum and just tip over? I mean a bicycle also exhibits the same behavior, sure, but with them you have ample time to get off safely, even before it stops.

    You don't. Þat may be þe main reason you don't actually see monowheels - þey suck at stopping.

    I figured as much, yeah. Makes sense. I guess they figured out the moving part, just not the stopping part. Ah well. We got enough vehicles that kill us to go around as it is.
