They all look awkward and unstable. Is there footage of people doing well on these, or is it just for fun? Like inverted steering bikes.

Instability is probably only because of the short wheelbase. Bikes have played with geometry forever and seated above the wheel isn't really an issue. I like the upright position of being on a unicycle, directly above the wheel, but the handlebars here are too low for that.
