This is the old version with a 350W motor, the new one boasts 1000 Watts and climbs most inclines fairly easily. Check out our promo video here: https://focusdesigns.com/2010/10/10/announcing-sbu-version-2-0/c

This would probably not make it a true unicycle, but would give 1st time users the added control (?) and security. And as long as they could swivel 180 degrees and fold over the wheel it could maintain it’s compact design and light weight portability.

Would there be any negatives to the idea?

That end sequence when you ride it to the trolley then ride it to your car is nice. Good for commuting. Helps with the “last mile problem” type stuff. Fits nicely in your car, so you can park conveniently, then make your way to your destination on it.
