Is Torker good for my sister?

2001-12-22, 04:40 PM

What would be better to get for my sister, a 20" or 26" tire? She is about
5'3" and a skinny novice, she can ride about 30 feet. Also, is Torker a
good brand? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

It's ok if youre just using it for light riding, but the wheels and rims on it just arent made for doing tricks.trust me I know, I bent mine. Been thinking about putting a stronger wheelset on it
But anyway, Ride On!! alman01:cool:

A 20" wheel is much more common on the inexpensive unicycles like Torker. A Torker 20" is an OK unicycle for someone your sister's size to learn on. The seats are too small and the unicycle is certainly not the toughest made but you indicate that this is for a 5'3" learner.

A Torker is generally considered to be a good value-for-money learner
unicycle. A 20" is more common than a 26". I think 26" is largish for
learning, especially for youths. (You didn't mention your sister's age.)
