Sounds like a good idea, except i dont get your drawing. Do you have a pic?
Ive never played with a finger bike before, and i dont plan on ever doing it, but this seems like it would look like a neat picture.

i posted someting like that a while ago. Here’s how i made mine, but i couldn’t figure out how to attach cranks and pedals, and the seat’s loose. Maybe your’s is better for that?

Re: Finger Unicycle

Last week, my boys were playing with Lego blocks. The best of the sets, is a
trail motorcycle (Lego Technic), which has suspension (rear and front), a
V-2 engine with moving pistons and chain traction. I’ve caught some parts
and made a funny unicycle. I need to take a look at my old programs, because
I have a Lego CAD - a software to make Lego assembly diagrams - when I find,
I’ll made a diagram of the Lego Unicycle…

I made one almost exactically like that except it had a spoked wheel and a red frame and it often gets the tendency to freewheel. I used alot of hot glue and i had to practically saw the frame in half, and had to fix the handle bar holder so it would hold the seat because the seatpost removal would not work at all.

Justin what brand of minibike was this? Mine are spinmaster toys.

I made a finger uni like this a while ago. I also used the front of a BMX bike, and glued the seat onto it. I drilled out the forks, at the bottom, and put the cranks through the holes i drilled and hot-glued the cranks to the wheel. I works really well, fixed axle and pedals and all. You can do some pretty unrealistic thing on those, like hop 900 unispin from one side of the room to the other:D they’re quite fun.

well that’s pretty much all i have to say, hope that helps with your construction.

Something kinda like these?

I think dustin kelm used one of these after breaking his leg for his show that he missed… they are kinda sweet, but look cheap no way worth $2 each

I have a white one of those hanging from my rear view mirror…only it used to be orange and green. The sun has completely bleached it white except for the black tire and pedals.

That would be cool if Techdeck (the company that makes little mini skateboards, snowboards, bikes, gocarts, etc.) made Munis. They could make them in all different colors and models with different tires and seats. That would be really neat! Or they could make trials unicycles. They could make a Coker and a giraffe as special edition items. That would be so cool!
