Learning How To Ride An Electric Unicycle: Yes, You Can Do It!

Mastering the electric unicycle is a skill much more attainable than you might think. We've seen many people from ages 10 through 70 learn how to ride! You don't need any special physical abilities, and It's like acquiring any new skill: with consistent practice you can learn. It's very comparable to learning how to ride a bike for the first time. You likely won't be able to take off right away, but with a little practice and repetition, it all starts to just fall into place. 

Check out the Learning How to Ride: Electric Unicycle video from our sister site, www.myinmotion.com for a thorough introduction. It's packed with lots of useful tips and tricks to make learning on your own much easier! 

How Long Will It Take To Learn?

This answer is a little different for everyone, but in general, it can take new riders anywhere from a few hours to a few days to be able to balance and ride unsupported with the ability to stop and start safely and make basis steering maneuvers. Feeling full confidence and control to tackle "the real world" with pedestrians and traffic will typically come after the first week or two of good practice. 

Keep in mind that it's important to learn at your own pace - never put yourself in a situation you aren't ready to handle safely. Remaining relaxed during your training sessions will not only help you learn faster, but it's also essential for your safety as well.
