Defective Electric Unicycles Lawsuit

A few years ago, hover-scooters, or hoverboard scooters, were among the top products. Today, electric unicycles are what’s popular. A quick search online shows multiple electric unicycles – most of them being sold for thousands. There are many different models on the market, some of them able to travel at up to 35 miles per hour. Considering these possible speeds, devastating accidents can occur. Without a doubt, these incidents can occur because the user simply are inexperienced using the product or because of road conditions; however, incidents are also possible because of defects present in the products.

For more information about the legal options available to you after an incident because of a defective electric unicycle, do not hesitate to contact the experts here at the Normandie Law Firm immediately. Here at the Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers are ready to provide you with the guidance that you need to sue the negligent product manufacturer and fight for your rights.

Possible Defects Present in Electric Unicycles

An electric unicycle is a self-balancing transporter with one single wheel. The rider is able to control the speed being traveled by either leaning forward or backwards and steer by tilting the unit. These products are similar to electric bicycles, scooters, etc. and can have similar defects. These defects include the following:

• Electrical issues – issues that cause the product to lose power and suddenly stop working
• Brake issues – issues with the braking system that prevent the user from slowing down or coming to a stop
• Manufacturing issues – any issues that occur during manufacturing that result in the product not working correctly or being unsafe (e.g., cheap material, parts not being screwed in correctly, etc.)

All of these possible hazards could lead to incidents, which could include crashes with stationary objects (walls, trees, posts, etc.), pedestrians, bicyclists, and autos, for instance. All of these incidents can potentially lead to devastating injuries.
