Wheel size depends on what he wants to do w/ it after he learns.
20" - freestyle and light trials. Can do light Muni, but a 24 is
better (faster, rolls over bumps better).
24" - commuting, light muni. Learning will be a bit slower than on a
20". Can do freestyle and light trials but a bit harder.
I wouldn't recomend learning on anything larger than a 24.
Torker LX's are good learners. You can get one for about $80 off
e-bay.
'Here's one for $40' (http://tinyurl.com/22f83c). don't wory about the
seat, they aren't that comfortable anyways (use duct tape untill you
get a better one). You'll want to get a Nimbus Gell or a KH Freeride
or street off 'UDC' (www.unicycle.com)
I recomend using a long rail or wall for learning. The seat & pedals
will last longer that way.
