2 Wheels v. 3

You may have the wrong forum... Most of us specialize in a one wheeled
apparatus. 😉
Though, you may get someone around soon who might answer your question.

Well 2v3, i haven't ridden a three wheeler but have tried a 2 wheeler,
the whole pedal backwards to go forwards really got me confused and i
think the longest distance i got was about 20cm, mainly from falling.

I'm guessing that riding a 3 wheeler would be similar to a giraffe,
though with more friction.

I'm confused myself, are you speaking of this '2 wheel giraffe'
(http://www.unicycle.co.nz/images/shop/Nimbus2Wheeler.jpg) & '3
wheeler' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1003)*???*
😕

or do you mean bike and tricycle*???* 😕

The two linked ones.
I rode a 3 wheeler at UniNats and I think they're pretty hard to mount,
they're also really heavy. I've never ridden a two but I'd go with the
two because they look hard and are really unusual.

i would get one that you could make both. i got the extensions to make a
3wheeler that can also make a 2wheeler. the 3wheeler is definately
easier and its not too hard to mount, with help of course. its a really
fun one for parades and some simple freestyle stuff, like wheel walk.
the 2wheeler is the real challenge, its liek relearning how to ride. it
takes hours of practice and lots of help to stay up...but once you get
the hang of it, its really fun. if ur up for a big challenge, get the 2
wheeler. but if u want somethign that u will probabyl be able to ride,
get the 3wheeler.

Three wheels... hmm, three wheels...

I don't know about anyone else and I hope I get over it, but being
7foot high on one wheel is [censored] scary!

i got it used a while ago, but i know semcycle makes them, heres the
'link' (http://store.semcycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=17) for
the extension kit. i just looked at unicycle.com and 'this one '
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1003)looks like it
would work but you might want to call them and ask to make sure. I have
the semcycle ones but i just put them on a torker unicycle and it
worked.

I can confirm that all three of those wheels are detachable; I have the
unicycle. you can take one, or two wheels off of the bottom to have a
1, 2, or 3 wheel giraffe.

i dont think it would be hard to to mount a tricycle and most bicycles
don't pedal backwards

tNt9trip said:

As the title says... what is recommended? Looking to step it up a
notch. Is backwards pedaling on the two wheeler difficult, and how
does one mount the three wheels?

The three wheeler can actually be taken apart and converted to either a
2 -wheeler or a normal unicycle as well.
