2 wheelers
What do you think is easier? Riding a regular unicycle backwards or riding a two wheeled unicycle forwards? I think doing the 2 wheeler is easier since you can see where youn are going. This way you can tilt your body the way it needs to be easier.

Have you ever ridden a two-wheeled uni? I'm currently making one and I've heard from many people that it's quite a bit harder than riding backwards.

a Two wheeled unicycle is by far harder to ride forwards than to riding backwards with a normal unicycle. I get the question why dont you people?
It took me a whole day of learning the 2 wheeler to get it! Trev

Once you can ride a standard unicycle forward, transitioning the skill into riding it backwards is definitely easier than learning to ride a two-wheeler forward. That is because the balancing reflexes are largely the same.
However, for someone who has never ridden a unicycle, it might (just might) be easier to learn riding a two-wheeler forward than to learn riding a standard unicycle backwards. Easier in the sense that it might take less time to learn. But still a long time. Klaas Bil |

Back to the topic again, has anyone tried to build a 3 wheel unicycle with something like 12" wheels? I think it would be fun, and not as high off the ground.

I suppose if I ever get a 2 wheeler I would just ride it backwards everywhere I went. People or alot more clueless and are more impressed, unless they look at the pedals.
