16" Wheel Unicycle

Works nice, more comfortable seat than my vintage model. Assembly easy. Includes tools but they are not much good. Seat tends to rotate easy, will eventually replace tool-free adjuster with a bolt. Great for the price and looks good.

I rated this as 5 stars, but I don't necessarily mean the unicycle is totally flawless. Just that it is really good for the price. I've now bought several of them so obviously I have liked them. We have used them for 5th graders to adults. About 60 lbs to about 160 lbs. That top weight is definitely at their upper edge, but it has worked. The seat adjustment is hard to get tight. It doesn't work as well as I wish it did. But so far on all of them I can get the seat to hold it's adjustment and still use the quick adjust handle if I crank the nut pretty tight. Put a little locktite on the nuts that hold the cranks to the main shaft. I had real trouble with them loosening until I did. (This requires some brief disassembling.) I put locktite on the pedal threads, too, since you have to assemble that anyway. The tires are fine, but they do seem to wear a bit fast. It's not the best unicycle ever built. But I like them for the cost, and that's all I'm really looking for in this product. We've put a lot of hours on them. Now... learning to ride is another matter. Get a good helmet. Trust me on this.

Overall, it's a decent value for the price, as long as you're not expecting it to be ready to ride post-assembly. Some minor modifications are required to make it usable. The main issue, in which numerous others have mentioned, is that the seatpost clamp is completely useless. Indeed I can confirm that it is. With that said, once you've found a comfortable seat height, a 1.5x1/4" bolt through the post and frame solves the issue permanently. The seat has no tilt adjustment, either... Though I found no need for an adjustment in my specific instance. The seat seems comfortable enough to forget that I'm even on it, once I'm rolling. It might also be worth noting that the seatpost is only 8" in length. It's roughly 3-4" shorter than it should be for my leg length. If you're 6' or taller, you may have to weld an extension onto the seatpost, or buy a seat with a post long enough to accommodate you. The plastic caps on the pedals and crank arms will fall out after a short period, though they really aren't necessary in the first place. You'll also need to keep some thread locking compound on hand as well, for the pedals, crank arm nuts, and for the bearing clamp bolts. This should prevent any premature loss of hardware whilst cruising around on it. All negatives aside, the frame feels solid, though the tire compound feels a bit harder than that of almost any bicycle grade tire I've encountered. It's not an issue, though. From what's stated in the description, it appears to be equipped with a tubed tire, so that's a definite bonus, if that's the case. In summary, this is definitely worth picking up, if you don't mind doing a bit of extra fiddling with it. Personally, I found it to be worth every penny. Plus... if you're not keen on the color, it's quick to disassemble and spray down with plastidip, or an equivalent coating. -------- A Quick update - 03-02-2019: It's still holding up exceptionally well, after nearly two months. The only major exception was that the tire began to fail roughly three weeks in. The bead slowly began slipping out of the rim. I didn't notice this initially, but it was like this from the start. There was a slight bulge/deformation in the tire that gradually became worse. No amount of deflation and resetting it would fix the issue, so I pulled it, and put a thick-walled goodyear tube, and Bell mountain bike tire (B07969V5RV) on it, and it's been rock solid ever since... Though the original tube will work just as well. I've since dipped the cranks, swapped the pedals, added lights, and a camera mount to it... The seatpost bolt I installed seemed to make a good mounting point for the cam. (See last photo)

I was excited to get a unicycle because back when I was 16/17 I practiced on my cousins unicycle thats in the circus. Hers was much smaller and I only rode inside plus I was a lot younger so maybe thats why I thought I may need to buy a bigger uni. I purchased a 24" thinking thatd be easier to get the hang of due to less pedaling on larger tire. Well I completely forgot about the price I paid versus the cost of my cousins uni due to allot of issues Ive had with this uni first off the clamp is worthless unless you have tools to make it work and it still doesn't keep it from shifting side to side which if the seat doesn't stay straight than your gonna have zero steering ability. I've also noticed that the rotation arrow on my wheel doesn't match up with the direction I can only go due to the pedal labels of L R so I guess if I remove the actual rubber wheel from rim I can fix it but really they couldn't get the tire or pedals labeled correct. I get that it is cheap but its still advertised as a working unicycle and as it comes in the box it is definitely not a working unicycle. A couple reviews I e read said they drilled holes to hold the seat post from moving so I'm going to try that and hope ill be able to actually ride this thing. I've been able to sit on it stationary holding onto a wall but when I let go I fall off and I've only hit the ground with my body once out of the 30 times I've tried. I'm going to get a smaller tire in hopes that I'll be a little closer to the ground and will actually get to ride a unicycle.

Pro tip: don’t just tighten the nut on the seat’s quick release until it no longer tightens, ALSO twist the quick release lever a rotation or two after that and then clasp it. I’m pretty strong and I tightened it enough without any tools. I’ve ridden this four days and I’m hooked. I’m 6’4” and will likely need an extension for the post, but out of the box it’s juuuuust short. I weigh 180 and haven’t done too much jumping or anything, but it seems more than solid enough to learn on and play with. Also a little thread locker where the pedals attach never hurt anyone. Later addition: The unicycle is holding up well. I contacted the seller for the dimensions on the seat post to buy a longer one. They contacted the manufacturer and promptly responded (22mm x 275mm). Excellent communication!

Ma petite fille m'a dit que c'était son plus beau cadeau de Noël cette année.

Inflated tire to specs and it blew right off the aluminum rim. Contacted the company through Amazon but they have not come up with a solution. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT, until the manufacturer fixes its engineering issues. Clearly the rim is not rated for that tire. Did not even get an opportunity to ride the Unicycle, and it was inoperable.

Good for starters. And easy to assemble

English below Le Quick Release est dure a fermer. Utilisé des outils sinon le siège vas descendre tous le temps. Les pédales se desserre alors serré les biens et tous vas bien aller. Ensuite un des petits bouchon gris ne tiens plus mais n'a pas d'incidence sur le fonctionnement de l'unicycle. The Quick Release is hard to close. Used tools otherwise the seat will go down all the time. The pedals then loosens tight goods and all will go well. Then a little gray cap does not hold anymore but does not affect the operation of the unicycle.

Don't know how long it'll take this fellow to learn to ride it but he said it was his best Christmas Gift !!
