Are there any of those electric unicycles/monowheels, but with a battery that is not prone to incinerating everything in it's radius? Either LiFePO4, or a removable pack, or something similar. I'm often considering them because of distance, size and weight, comfort of a large diameter wheel and apparent safety (when driven at safe speed). But the thermal runaway failure mode is so scary that i dont even.
A nice video of battery pack failure:

- mtrimpe 4y agoI agree that I'd like to see more LiFePO4 battery packs; but compared to an EV I'd much rather have this happen on an e-bike/monowheel I can just step off.
- 112233 4y agoAgreed, I was more thinking about it happening in the apartment. I do not see me surviving such event, unleast the battery is being charged on the balcony (but even then). LiFePO4 failure, while not a picnic, at least can be proofed against. Of course, it is the same with scooters and bikes, but there are a lot of bikes (and almost no scooters) with removable packs, so yeah. But compared to the unicycle, bike takes up half of a small apartment.
