Locals Call for Safety Rules on Doi Suthep Unicycle Trips
Residents of Chiang Mai’s Doi Suthep area are calling for clear safety regulations after repeatedly seeing groups of electric unicycles touring the mountain road. Although no accidents have been reported yet, locals and officials agree the activity poses a high risk of collisions. They urge authorities to implement preventive measures before any incident occurs.
Residents using Doi Suthep roads worry about accidents from electric unicycle tours and ask authorities to introduce clear safety precautions. Dated 18 Oct 2069, after a clip showed electric unicycles (EUCs) — self‑balancing personal vehicles that steer by leaning — filming a descent of Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, locals said they have seen the groups several times but no accidents have been reported yet, perhaps because the activity is just starting. Park and relevant agencies have not yet issued prohibitions or traffic rules for electric unicycles on the Doi Suthep route, but they consider the accident risk high. Residents urge officials to adopt any safety measure to ensure safety, fearing they’ll act only after a problem occurs.
