I've been riding an electric unicycle for years and I don't think I've gotten a single negative comment, aside from riding somewhere (they thought) I shouldn't have. But those same comments would have been directed at a scooter or bike.
Typically when people marvel at my wheel, I tell them if they give me a few bowling pins I can juggle as well.
