Business tycoon Harsh Goenka recently took to Twitter to share a ‘cool’ video of a man riding an electric self-balancing scooter across a crowded street. While the electronic vehicle looks similar to hoverboards and Segways, several internet users informed that he is driving an ‘electronic unicycle’. Goenka was amused to see the self-balancing electronic vehicle and even wrote that this is what he needs to travel in the 'crowded city'. 

In the 52-second-short clip, one can see a man riding the electronic unicycle in heavy traffic. While he seemed comfortable on the personal transporter, several internet users pointed out that he wasn’t wearing any protective gear or a helmet. While the man in the video effortlessly drove the electronic scooter around, it is also believed that the vehicle demands more time and practice as it is not similar to electronic skateboards.

While one internet user called it ‘unsafe’, others said that is it's the future of mobility’. A Twitterati wrote, “I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody under current traffic conditions and poorest of traffic rules implemented. It is probably safer in dedicated cycling paths with proper gear”. Another added, “Don't forget to put on your helmet and other protective gears. The guy is not using”.
