In recent times, a number of youths have taken up riding electric unicycles in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for all the novelty and fun that the activity offers.
A unicycle is a vehicle which touches the ground with only one wheel.
The conventional variation, which is mostly seen in circuses, has a frame with a saddle and is pedal-powered. Meanwhile, the faddish electric unicycles, or solowheels, have only one wheel, no seats and are electricity-driven.
Such vehicles have recently become quite a common sight in parks or less crowded streets in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City among those who want others to turn heads.
