Size of Unicycles
Wheel sizes for unicycles start from 12 inches to 36 inches.
In general, the bigger the size of the wheel, the bigger the circumference. And bigger circumference equates to longer distance covered in one revolution, but decrease manoeuvrability.
Typically, sizes suitable for kids (4 – 7 years old) are 12/16 inches. 20 inches and above are suitable for adults.
For beginners, start off with either a 20 or 24 inch, and once you’re competent, you’ll find the best sized unicycle for your riding style.
Unicycling Styles
Freestyle
Liken to that of dancing on a unicycle; a culmination of rhythm, high skill level and movement.
Street / Trials
The BMX of unicycling; jumps, grinds, spins, you name it.
Muni (Mountain Unicycling)
Riding off road, deep into forest trails. Pot holes, rocks, drops, bulging tree roots, slopes are things you want to overcome.
Unicycle Hockey
Literally hockey on unicycle, with modified rules of course!
Leisure
Riding at void decks, along park connectors, or where ever (just stay away from the roads!) you feel like.
