Suggest it'll be cheaper to spend more now on a better unicycle. I knew nothing about unicycles, and you may be in the same boat.

First, this thing is trivial to put together, so don't worry about instructions. None necessary!

My son's been using his for 3 days and we've noticed a number of issues.

Most troubling are the bumpers (the blue ends on the seat). They serve 2 purposes: to hold onto as your mounting and riding, and to protect the softer parts of the seat when the unicycle falls - which happens frequently when you're learning. The bumpers on this unicycle are made of a stiff plastic, and the back one broke off immediately. With continued use, I'm sure the seat will rip apart.

Another problem we had was with the clamp for the seat post. It appears to be "quick release", but it also appears to not work. I haven't disassembled it, but I expect there's no cam action. Rather it acts as a handle which easily folds out of your way for riding. My son is pretty light (12 yrs old, 79 lbs), and after a bit of riding the seat is misaligned relative to the wheel. I've tightened it using a wrench, but I'm worried I'll break it if I go much further. Not a big problem, but a nuisance.

Finally, a more trivial "issue" deals with the pre-assembled cranks (the arms the peddles attach to). The left and right cranks aren't aligned with one-another, but are a couple of degrees off. My son has complained about this, but I'm not convinced that it's really just him still learning to ride. He claims that this results in him having a tough time turning the peddles when they're "straight" up and down. On each revolution of the wheel, at some point when one peddle is straight down, but the other is not quite yet straight up. I expect this stage would be tough with any unicycle, but when one of the peddles isn't yet to the top of the rotation it's got to make it especially tough. Since I don't ride, it's impossible to judge how big a problem this really is.

While there's nothing I think I'll do about that last issue, I expect to spend about $20 on a new seat and about $6 for a new clamp, plus shipping. I think that would've been money better spent on a better unicycle!

The unicycle is better quality than I expected for a low cost, starter cycle. Directions for assembly are TERRIBLE but it wasn't difficult to figure out. The best part of the order was the customer service. When I noticed that it was stuck in a UPS terminal for four days with an "exception" code, I contacted the seller through an email to Amazon and asked if they could do something since it was to be a Christmas present and time was running out. Customer service immediately emailed me back, apologized for the UPS delay and expedite shipped a 2nd unicycle at no charge. They only asked that if the original showed up that I would return it. They were responsive and trusting which you rarely see anymore.

The quality is great,the price was the best that i found anywhere the shipping was fast.very pleased would recommend to anyone!

I've been riding for 20 years and wanted to evaluate this unicycle for beginner students in my unicycle class. The seat post is 22mm and all the construction is standard among many other unicycles.

The pros are:
- Looks pleasing
- Strong seat post clamp

The cons are:
- Thin crank arms. Expect them to bend shorty.
- Poor quality hub

I ended up not being able to ride it because I can't get the crankarms tight onto the hub. The nut stripped right away and now it is impossible to repair. Putting in a new hub is a huge expense. It is very annoying to ride this unicycle with a loose crankarm.

Good price, Assembly takes 5 minutes, and looks like the real thing. However the first time I took this thing out it broke after about 40 minutes. When assembling the unicycle I used a wrench to tighten everything pretty good, but the pedal fell off while I was mounting it. First time use and it breaks! You get what you pay for.

a great unicylce for the price. I ordered 2 of them for both my kids. Easily assembled. The quality is good for a 7 & 9 year old. They have been using and practicing for 2 weeks straight. Good entertainment for them as it keeps them busy and occupied for hours.

I had this for a while and it was working great we even took it to a bike shop to get it put together. Later on after a few months of riding The pedals fell off and i cant put them back on because they are stripped but i had fun for the most part

My son wanted a unicycle and I did not want to spend too much....he is rough on it but it is holding up....I was woriied about the quality...but, no problems yet. I am very happy with the purchase.

This unicycle sucks! The first time riding it the seat tore in half and I couldnt crank the seat post tight enough to hold me up. Definitely not worth the money. Get a torker for a little more but it will actually last.

the seat fell apart on me almost instantaneously, not good for learning or tricks. After one fall the seats plastic broke and after replacing the seat the tire wore down extremely fast. the petals and cranks loosened themselves. i would just barley even rate this a one out of five. this all happened in the first month of ownership.
