Near miss with electric unicycle on a tight bend on shared path

3 years ago in Perth, Australia

I was riding south on the Principal Shared Path and entered a sharp right hand curve. Oncoming traffic obsured by vegetation. A rider on an electric unicycle suddenly appeared travelling in the opposite direction. We were both moving fast and vearing towards the centre line of the path. I just managed to pull away and avoid a collision.

I don't think that these unicycles are legal in Western Australia.
