Unicycle Seat Height

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Bought a 24" unicyle for my son. He will be using it primarily on the street (not on off road trails). We are trying to figure out what height to put the seat at. Anyone have recommendations?

Personally I set my seat height the same as I do my mountain bike. You want just a slight bend in your knee in the down stroke position.

Hope this helps.

If he's just starting out, it may be good to set the seat low enough so when he bails during the learning stages the seat won't jam him in a certain spot, or send him flying... Too badly. It happens. Then when he gets to the point where he can roll around on his own without a wall or rail for support, he can always raise the seat to where he feels comfortable and doesn't stress his knees...To the height konaman recommended. He should be able to figure out his prefered seat heigth once he gets a feel for things.
