Field Notes

Practical updates, explainers, and organizing material for electric unicycle riders, policymakers, attorneys, journalists, and neighbors who want safer streets without blanket bans.

Policy explainer

Regulation beats blanket bans

A usable rulebook protects pedestrians and gives responsible riders a legal path.

Safety response

After a crash, measure the facts

Specific facts should drive policy after serious collisions, not panic or denial.

Legal organizing

Building the EUC ban watch

Riders need clean documentation before bans become permanent.

Model regulation

A common-sense EUC rulebook

Insurance, visible ID, street access, sidewalk limits, affordability, and speed tiers belong in one serious framework.

Energy and street behavior

Electric mobility without street chaos

EUCs can be part of cleaner urban transportation while still taking unsafe riding and commercial delivery chaos seriously.

Data gap

Private EUCs are missing from city data

Shared fleet dashboards count scooters and e-bikes, but private EUCs often only appear in policy debates after a complaint or crash.

Policy framework

A fair city framework for EUCs

A practical adoption path for San Francisco, Austin, and cities that need a realistic alternative to blanket bans.

Evidence brief

Evidence brief for fair regulation

The research map for accidents, sidewalk conflict, private-rider data gaps, insurance, and better alternatives to bans.

Model ordinance

Model ordinance starter

Starter clauses for city staff and advocates: define EUCs, protect pedestrians, set speed tiers, and create accountability.

Media kit

Story angles, quotes, and fast facts for journalists, creators, city staff, and local advocates.
