Minimum strideLength: 61cm Weight: 5.4 kg In principle, the size of the unicycle is not quite like that of a bicycle. While unicycles between 12" and 18" are meant for (growing) kids, there are also some crazy muni riders who ride 12" unicycles to trial for fun. But as soon as you can ride a 20", the size issue is more a question of personal use.

A 20" is fine for hockey, freestyle, sometimes also for basketball or "normal” unicycling. In addition, the longer distances you want to ride, the larger the wheel diameter should be. What size can I ride? For the QU-AX unicycles, the following table applies to the standard equipment regarding the recommended size with the corresponding step lengths.

Measuring the crotch length is very easy: Measure the distance from the ground up to your crotch, as shown in the picture on the right - preferably with shoes on, because that's how you'll be sitting on the unicycle! On the Munis 19", 24", 27.5" the seat post has a reinforcement cast - if you retrofit a post without a cast, you can subtract another approx. 7cm from the minimum crotch lengths. How does this machine become my friend? Before you approach the machine, check that the helmet is on your head and the knee pads are in the right place! Unlike the horse, you can't immediately tell where the back is and where the front is.

However, if you look closely, you will notice that the unicycle has a direction of travel. The seat post clamp points to the front, i.e. the bolts point to the rear.

The pedals are marked left and right in the direction of travel so that the bolts do not come loose while riding. The correct saddle height can be found in the same way as on the bike: when you sit on the saddle, your knee should be more or less pushed through in the lower pedal position. A tip for the first attempts: set the saddle a little lower! It is a bit easier and you know: "the higher, the splashier!” This is how you find the right saddle height! If you have good friends, take one with you.

Help is not bad for the first attempts. However, if you want to train on your own and reveal your secret after a few days, look for an area with level ground and a railing you can hold on to. Door frames or telephone boxes are also ideal, as you can support yourself with both hands.

Now you're ready to go? Hold on to the railing or your companion with one hand. Put the saddle between your legs and the right pedal should be in the 4 o'clock position. When you press down on the pedal, the unicycle will automatically slide under your body and you will be sitting on the bike (or not).

One thing is for sure, you are now about 5-6 hours away from riding a unicycle. Your goal should be to balance your weight with the next few attempts. Keep your upper body upright at all times and lean on your helper for support.

Mounting and balancing with assistance The next step is now to move forward. Release one hand from the railing and try to move forward a little. support_3Congratulations! Now you are about 3-4 hours away from riding a unicycle.

Another important tip, if a fall is imminent, always drop the bike, because a good bike can take it, you probably not so much. So, now there is only one thing left. The way is the goal.

Suddenly you're riding one metre alone, then two... and then all of a sudden you don't understand why the beginning was so frustrating. Now you can stop your secret training and go public.

The "aha" effect of your fellow men will not be insignificant. Stay cool and if you have to get off the bike, find a lamp post, tree or something similar to get back on. When asked how one learns to do such a thing, one answers wit
