Why children should not ride electric unicycle (EUCs)? R164

Created by Shawn Barnes

Electric unicycles (EUCs) are rolling into town, ready to party like the coolest trend in town. Joining the Ride Often Club on these one-wheel wonders is the new cool kid move.

With a nifty smartphone app, riders unlock the EUC magic, zooming around at speeds up to 80 miles per hour, feeling the breeze in their hair. But, caution – take a spill, and you might end up with more bumps than a cat learning to dance.

EUCs have a plot twist or two, featuring cuts, fractures, and head injuries – a real page-turner, but not the fun kind. Some mishaps happen in traffic or when riders decide to channel their inner stuntman.

Parents, here's the golden rule for the EUC adventure: kids under 16, dreaming of driver's licenses, should steer clear. Safety first, little adventurers!

If EUCs haven't hit your town's dance floor, meet the cast: non-motorized scooters, battery-powered ones, and the cool EUCs, mingling in various cities.

All EUCs share a common thread – a higher risk of head injury than your trusty bike. Helmets are the unsung heroes, often left hanging in the wardrobe – better safe than sorry, right?

Thanks to EUC-sharing apps, kids on EUCs are on the rise. Parents, get ready to play Sherlock Holmes of scooter safety. Some cities have age restrictions, but minors find a sneaky loophole. It's a tricky game.

Cities with EUC rentals are like adventure playgrounds. Learn the EUC waltz before the spin – it's not your grandma's bike. No need to pedal; these babies accelerate with the grace of a cat on a hot tin roof.

Read the fine print: breaking age restrictions may lead to a date with law enforcement. Rebellious teens might require parents to don their courtroom capes and pay a fine – a twist worthy of a courtroom drama!

To all you EUC enthusiasts, ride safe, stay cool, and remember, it's not a two-wheel affair – it's a unicycle party. Share the Ride Often Club wisdom with your college crew – safety in numbers!
