Abstract: The invention relates to the field of transport, to single-wheeled vehicles steered by the driver in a standing position. An electric unicycle travels over a surface by means of contact of a tyre with said surface and the rotation of a rim, together with said tyre and with permanent magnets, about an axle. Turning while travelling on the electric unicycle is carried out by tilting the electric unicycle sideways by means of the user redistributing their weight across footrests. The user stands on said footrests during travel. During travel over uneven surfaces, mechanical oscillations caused by uneven surfaces and transmitted from a wheel portion to the footrests are damped. The footrests are not directly connected to the axle of the wheel portion; instead, they are connected via shock absorbers in which oscillations are damped by a change in the volume of a gas and by the transfer of a liquid.
