NEW innovations were on show at the annaual workplan seminar for the police held at the Singapore Home Team Academy on 24th and 25th April 2015.
One of them was Self Balance Electric Unicycle.
The key advantages of such intelligent transporters over current modes of patrols are:
1) Longer travel distance and reduction of fatigue allowing a larger coverage of patrol grounds as compared to foot patrols;
2) Increased portability compared to bicycles (can easily fit into the car boot);
3) Easy transition to foot patrols by dragging the unicycles when moving from outdoors to indoors(i.e. shopping centres);
4) Smaller footprint compared to bicycles thus allowing better manoeuvrability in narrow lanes; and
5) Allow quick mounting and dismounting when officers need to interact with members of the public.
