My friend is looking into learning how to ride a unicycle. What do you think would be a good starter unicycle for a reasonable price? Also, what do you think is a good wheel size for a beginner? I’m thinking maybe a 24 inch…
Most people seem to start on a 20 inch, but if the rider is 6 foot tall or more, then a 24 inch might be better. Any brand will do for a trainer. I recommend that you spend as little as possible on the first UNI and see how far you get. I paid $69 for an Avenir on Amazon, or you can get a new Torker for around $110. You can also check Ebay.
He is about 6 foot. I think though once he learns, that he sill enjoy that extra bit of speed.
