Viral Video Shows Electric Unicycle Hitting About 100 km/h on Panamericana Near Buenos Aires

Overview

  • A passing driver filmed the rider on the road shoulder near San Isidro and posted the clip to X via car enthusiast Nicolás Schenquerman.
  • The car’s speedometer read 80 km/h as the unicycle pulled ahead, leading outlets to estimate the device was traveling around 100 km/h.
  • The rider wore a helmet, knee pads and sports clothing, maintained control in traffic, and was seen using a cellphone during parts of the ride.
  • La Nación notes the conduct violates current rules: personal mobility vehicles are prohibited on highways and limited to much lower speeds, and the filming driver was also using a phone while driving.
