To learn how to unicycle? No. As far as I am concerned, the only training wheel that will help with unicycling is holding onto a railing or someones shoulder.

That won't help with learning the front to back balance which IMO is the trickiest part of learning to unicycle. Also for $210 you might as well just save your money for a good unicycle. Also if my french holds up it only claims to have a load limit of 60kg/132lbs.

I have ridden one of them there "skate bikes". Some fun can be had with it but it freewheels and is nothing like a unicycle.

The (pre) Semcycle team brought a small fleet of those (an earlier version by Motobecane, with fixed wheels) to the 1983 USA National Unicycle Meet. I have a picture of my dad riding one. Non-unicyclists cruised those things all over the place, while the unicyclists seemed to have more trouble riding them. I think maybe they were over-thinking it?
