 Good little unicycle, great price! October 7, 2008

Bought this unicycle for my 11 y.o. son. Had some trepidation in picking 20" vs 24" wheel. Glad we picked this size. He's tall but friends all recommended starting off on a 20". I now agree. We adjusted the seat as low as possible without the bar touching the wheel. Assembly was fairly easy, but no instructions were included. Be sure to note the left (L) and right (R) pedals and install them on correct sides. Otherwise they will twist off when riding. They screw onto crank arms. If you're short, you may need to hacksaw off some of the pipe the seat attaches to. We just managed with the shortest setting. Friends with unicycles suggested duct taping the seat for protection as the cycle falls a lot when a beginner is starting off. Seems a good quality cycle and a great beginner one. Would recommend to others. It took about 10 days for my son to learn. Helpful videos on learning to ride unicycle on uTube.
This Beginner Is Completely Satisfied November 7, 2009

I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. The primary reason I decided to learn to ride a unicycle is to help combat one of the preventable effects of aging, now that I'm in my early fifties. I've noticed that some older people seem to start losing their sense of balance, and I can't think of any better exercise to prevent or even reverse that loss than unicycle riding.

The product assembled quite easily due to the simplicity of a unicycle, and all necessary parts were included and correct. Unfortunately, the amount of torque needed to tighten the seat clamp in order to keep the seat from twisting off-center would seem to hinder quick readjustment to accommodate different-height riders, but for me that is just a good excuse not to have to share my unicycle ;-)

I've been learning to ride in my apartment on light tan carpet, and there are no signs of any black marks from the tires, although once I take it on the street it will have to be an "outdoor only" cycle. I hadn't even counted on being able to ride it indoors, but once I put it together, indoor use seemed quite doable, especially with the smaller size and greater maneuverability of a 20" wheel. Riding down a hallway may even be the perfect place for early training. It worked well for me, and I've even managed to keep from putting any marks on the wall.

It's been a long time since I've been this happy with a purchase. This Avenir unicycle seems like the perfect opportunity to discover the benefits and satisfaction of learning to ride a unicycle, and for a very reasonable price. Be sure to let me know if there are any unicycle gangs for seniors that I can join ;-)

I bought this unicycle with money that i had saved up and let me tell you it is well worth the money. At only $60 it is a steal. Also, other reviewers have stated that the pedals didn't fit, but that is no longer a problem as the manufacturer has resolved that issue.
Great fun! January 29, 2009

I bought this a few weeks ago for myself.
It took me a few days to get used to it.
Now I am going up and down the street no sweat!
It came with all the right parts and was easy to assemble.
Its great!
Pedals Not A Problem - A Great Unicycle December 27, 2008

I purchased two of these superbly built 20-inch unicycles - one for me and then one for my son. Both came with pedal threads too small for the cranks. A quick call to Raleigh America Inc. at 1-800-222-5527 (ask for Tyler in Customer Service @ Ext. 346, or Tony in Sales @ Ext. 250) set everything straight. They immediately shipped the proper pedals free of charge. Raleigh America is aware of the situation and has taken steps to correct it. This is a great little unicycle at an unbelievably reasonable price.
