Man Stuns Traffic Police with His Impressive Electric Unicycle Worth Nearly KSh 300k

 

How does an electric unicycle work? Documenting his experiences riding an Inmotion V12, the TikToker shocked a group of traffic officers after he revealed that the electric unicycle costs KSh300,000. In a viral clip, the TikToker explained to the mesmerised cops that the device responds to body movement. He displayed that to move forward, the rider has to lean slightly forward to get momentum or shift the weight backwards to slow down.  "No, ride until that end," said one of the disbelieving officers who thought the Inmotion V12 was remote-controlled. "The remote is for the GoPro. When I want to ride, stop or take a corner, I just shift my weight," explained the TikToker. In a sweet gesture, he handed the unicycle to one of the cops to ride, but the officer was too shaken to move an inch and laughed the attempt off as he dismounted. One officer asked about the price. "It costs KSh300,000 and comes with its portable charger that I plug in this port here," said the TikToker "The same price as Probox? And yet you'll be rained on!" responded one of the bemused officers. In another clip, the TikToker recorded himself cruising the highway effortlessly at speeds unattainable on smaller wheels. The 16-inch wheel electric unicycle can reach up to 40km/hr. According to the website, the portable and manoeuvrable unicycle has USB-type C ports for charging and an adjustable pedal. The adjustable pedal height allows the user to set the preferred riding height to one of three levels for comfort and stability at cruising speeds. However, riding it is not a walk in the park. It takes training and practice. The cops were not the only ones intrigued. In the comments section, more of the TikToker’s followers were also awed by his prowess and the ingenuity of the device. “I need one like this. Where can I get it?” asked one person. "Where do you do service if there is a problem?” inquired another.
