Expect it to break with any kind of hopping.

My friend got one and it broke his first time riding. And he can't even hop higher than 3 inches. So it basically sucks

As said, with any hoping it will break.
Would probably be fine for riding in straight lines, but even then it probably wouldn't last long. |

The Unistar LX is a lightweight freestyle uni, not meant for trail riding or tricks, so if you hop or jump, it'll break.
This would be a fine unicycle for teaching others to ride or for basic riding around, but if you start riding off curbs, you'll bend the rim (single wall). Don't you already have a couple unicycles? |

Remember this:
With unicycles you get what you pay for. If it is extremely cheap, then it will break extremely easily. If it is extremely expensive, then it may never break... If you know that she will be really into unicycling, I would suggest a good Nimbus or a Schwinn.

Me and my friend have been getting into some hardcore trials.  so, i bought a trials unicycle and my friend still had his LX 26 inch. and he did everything that i did on my trials on his LX. To this day, there is nothing wrong with that uni. No twisted hub, bent cranks, nothing. I guess it could be used for trials. The only problem is the skinny tire. Good luck jumping. the highest he's landed on it is three pallets. Lame.

I almost never recommend those cheap Sun 16's
Cheap Sun 16's are perhaps the best choice for a 6 year old of normal size. There was a 10 year old in the park I met who had a 16 " Sun. He was quite small, and the uni seemed very well proportioned to his size.
Splined unis are likely overkill for very small riders starting out. Lots of riders 100 ish lbs have posted about how many stairs they jumped their lx Torker down. For someone a lot shorter and lighter than a 100 lb , a 16 Sun could be the best fit. |

I ended up picking one up off of craigslist for 20$ and i rode it around and i didn't feel right so i pulled on the crank arm and the axle of the hub is spinning so i am deciding on putting a udc hub on it and keeping it. was still in the box when i bought it.
