Is anyone familiar with unicycles made by Gravity Industrial Design Group?
How would this compare to a Torker?

I can’t find the company on the web. Where can I see photos or a description? Did you find this in a department store or bike shop?

I couldn’t find anything on the web either. These are being sold on ebay.
Here are a couple of links:

That’s your basic tiawanese unicycle that many companies slap their names on. This one is similar to the savage and I wouldn’t recommend it. The Torker is a much better option.
Definitely looks like a Savage seat on the uni. I agree with Gilby but the seat on either the Savage or the Torker is unsuitable. Even a cheap Viscount seat is much better.
There is a selection of similar or superior Taiwanese unicycles at unicycle.com.
The seat that comes on the savage is the worst possible seat you could get on a uni. The one on the Torker is better, but still not the best. But for a $70 uni, the seat is not that bad and is suitable for children.

I’ve had a Torker (known as Zephyr when I got it) for 12 years now. Great
unicycle…it’s still in nice shape. I have never heard of this other
brand, but you can’t go wrong with Torker. I definitely suggest it. -Kat

I concur with Gilby. I’m wondering who those Gravity people are, though?
It’s a cute name. I pity anyone who pays $149.95 for one of those
cheap-o things. The lolipop bearing holders and the seat are the weak
points. the rest of the unicycle is fine. So go for a Torker or other
more “upscale” model.
