Ugh. I hate "minisegway". It seems to diminish the worth of these devices as their own thing. Related to the segway? Sure. But "minisegway" takes away their unique qualities and very different riding experience and ties what in my opinion is an interesting and exciting device (the EUC) to what is semi-considered a silly albeit technologically innovative device (the segway). Minisegway makes me think of just a small 2 wheel segway, not a single wheel device. Someone needs to get on reddit and set them straight.

I think most Americans would think of the Greek sandwich when they hear "gyro". Otherwise in my mind a gyro is a similar concept to the EUC, but it spins horizontal not vertical. I know it can spin vertical, but that's not the image that jumps to mind. Although gyrocycle is a much cooler word.

EUC makes a great abbreviation here, but out in the wild I use the full "electric unicycle". Despite the dorkiness implied by "unicycle", the "electric" seems to counterbalance that in people's minds. And once I've given them a 60 second demo I don't think anyone thinks negatively about it. "Like a Segway, but with only one wheel." gets the message across quick also.

Neat looking cycle (the one with the seat)! Do you have a link or a manufacturer name?
