Well it depends exactly how the trike wheel fixed in to its frame.
Worst case, cut whatever bearing holders the trike had off the trike
frame and weld them on to the legs of a unicycle frame that has had its
bearing holders cut off. A more elegant solution may be possible
depending on exactly what is required and what machining facilities you
have available.

It'll probebly be like a geiraph so you should be able to
ride it. coastering should prove a challeng though ;)

This is a reply from a similar post...but I think it applies just the
same here.

Kevin Jones seems to have figured something out...the video's from his
myspace, hit him up...maybe he can steer you in the right direction.
Not a uni, but same concept. Keep in mind that he has super-human
balance(really.), so it prob. won't be as easy to ride as he makes it
look. Be nice if you write him, he's a legend in the sport. Good luck!

It like at the circus when you get lost in the crowd, you're happy but
nervous...definite sign that you lost it.

maybe it seems impossible but there is a way to make a freewheel
unicycle on which u can ride forward and backward :), i'm just waiting
for components, that i,ve ordered (isis plugs for cranks :). there'll
be possibility to brake without hand brake :) just keep fingers crossed
and i promise i'll bring it to reality and of course i'll show it to
ya;)
