Unicycles

Unicycles on this page include classic pedal unicycles for learning and tricks, and electric unicycles with a motor and battery for commuting. The first decision is which type you want, because a pedal unicycle is a skill and fitness toy, while an electric unicycle is a personal vehicle that needs safety gear and practice.

For pedal unicycles, wheel size matters. Smaller wheels suit children and learners, while larger wheels roll faster for distance riding. The seat post must adjust to the rider's leg length. Among the 33 products that list item weight, most fall between 2.6 and 56 pounds, and 2.6 pounds is typical.

For electric unicycles, check the range, top speed, battery size, weight and tyre size, and the rules for riding them where you live.

Learners usually start with a smaller wheel, which is easier to control, and practise mounting next to a wall or fence. Seat comfort matters for longer rides, and a quick release seat clamp makes it easy to adjust the height as a child grows. Electric unicycles can reach high speeds and require careful learning in a quiet area; look for features such as speed alarms and tilt back limits that warn the rider.

Before buying, check the type, wheel size, rider height range, weight and safety features. Learn with support from a wall or a friend, and wear a helmet, wrist guards and knee pads.
