    How hard are they to ride? The compactness and range of it looks kind of great but it seems like it would have a steep learning curve.

      Hey I just got it today and I put some baby-corner-protectors all over it to protect it from dropping. Turns out I didn’t need them because I didn’t drop it and was up and riding all around my block within an hour.

      It’s super fun. I just found a new passion.

      I think I probably picked it up faster than most people because of all my skateboarding. I feel like it uses similar balance, somehow (doesn’t make sense but trust me). But it truly doesn’t seem that hard. Just start out in a hallway until you have the basics down and then you’re off to the parking lot.

      Turning and starting are the hardest parts, but not very hard.

        Oh wow, really? I figured learning a unicycle would be totally different from skateboarding. Now I kinda want to try one out…

        Hope you’ll keep us updated. Happy riding and stay safe!

          Yeah it’s weird, I think it uses the same balance as when you balance your front foot while pushing on a skateboard.

          I wish I could call out of work and ride it more right now
