Multi-Wheeled unicycles
Hi,
These school holidays I may go busking for 3 days and hopefully make around $250 or 2 days and hopefully make around 170$(AUD, aus dollar). What I want to do is buy 2 double wheeled extension kits so i can have a 2 wheeled uni and a 3 wheeled uni. I am gonna connect them to my standard unicycle. The thing is, I dont know if I should cos my uni is 2 years old and has constantly been bashed and stuff. Im wondering if any of you got ideas about how to improve it. Onething is if i go ahead with doing it, is that ill DEFINETLY upgrade the saddle to a classic saddle. When i ride, it feels as if the right pedal is in the left crank. vice versa. But they arnt!, often feels like this. Its just that ive had it for 2 years so anyone got anything to say about this? How long would it take to learn to ride a 2 wheeled unicycle?, apporximately. I know you cant tell exactly but im lookin for some kind of range. and once perfected the riding technique, can it be ridden as far as you can ride a standard uni? Can you Free-Mount (roll on mount) a 3 wheeler like a giraffe? How tall is a 3 wheeled unicycle, 7 foot? Is it as easy to ride as a giraffe? Because I think i mite go busking on my 3 wheeler instead of my 5 foot giraffe. The pictures look alrite but when i ride it, it really DUZ feel like 2 YEARs old. I'ts hard to explain, its good... but it feels bad. saddle, what happens to cover/leather when pulled up ![]() my unicycle full view ![]() close up of hub cranks and pedal

2 wheelers are HARD. It is so strange to ride, because you have to pedal backwards and lean forwards to go forwards. A 3 wheeler is just like a giraffe, but has more wheels. If your pedals feel funny on your old uni, you could change them for some new plastic ones.

most litkely, except the slip between the tyres and the additional friction give it a slightly different feeling. You should be able to get used to it pretty quickly though. 2 wheels is a different matter, expect a pretty steep learning curve, like trying to learn to ride for the first time, but on a giraffe.

) because as I said, it's very high up there, and it feels impossible to balance as you're sat there with the unis weight pulling you forwards and you trying to put just the right amount of force on the pedals.But still, it is definitely possible. Two wheelers, on the other hand.... I think there are only a few people in the world that can actually ride them, because you have to forget everything you ever learnt about balancing and re-program it into your muscles and brain.
