1. Know the name and purpose of the various parts of a unicycle.

A Torker unicycle

Unicycles are made up of a few key parts:

  • the wheel (which includes the tire, tube, rim, spokes, hub and axle),
  • the cranks, pedals, fork-style frame, seatpost, and
  • saddle (the seat of the unicycle).

The wheel is usually similar to a bicycle wheel with a special hub designed so the axle is a fixed part of the hub. This means the rotation of the cranks directly controls the rotation of the wheel (called direct drive). The frame sits on top of the axle bearings, while the cranks attach to the ends of the axle. The seatpost connects the frame to the saddle.
