Hey guys, I am really interested in unicyling and really want to start. What brand is a good starter, yet somewhat cheap?

Torker Lx

Get it from here or on ebay.

This is what all of us recommend for starting. (right guys?)

I agree with surfer about the LX, you may want to change the seat later on as the LX seat becomes very uncomfortable after a while. :smiley:

Hi all, I just decided to get back on the unicycle after giving it up 10-12 years ago. My old schwinn 24" was on its last leg so I purchased a 26" torker. I found out that I’m more out of shape than I thought as I can’t seem to ride for more than a couple of minutes before my legs give out. I also discovered the issue with seat that Hazmat mentioned. Any suggestions for a replacement seat? I’m just over 6’ and about 225lbs (for now :wink: ).

Thanks
