I have never ridden a unicycle. I am 6'3 should I go for the 20'' or 24'' wheel?

It really don't matter.. Might as well aim for the 24 jic, but wheel size is irrelevant if you get the seat height proper (comfortable).

I don't ride, but my 11 and 13 year-old sons do well on 20" wheels. Being 6'3", I would think 24" might suit you better.

I'm not a great source for an answer on this unfortunately; I would check to see if there are specs available on the shwinn site in regard to weight since I don't think you can find that on amazon. I will say if you are much taller than 5'10" you may find it too short. I believe there is a version with larger wheels if you're tall. Sorry I'm not much help=(

I am not an advanced rider. Though I rode a 16 inch unicycle in my youth, I've had difficulty with this 26in. I weigh approx. 2nd lbs and am 5'10". I had to cut the post to accommodate my height and that has helped by I still find it difficult and would like to swap out for a 24" wheel... I am sure that would fit well for my height. I am also 49 and not as young as I used to be, haha. I hope this has helped some. Unicycle riding can be great fun and good exercise. Enjoy.

I'm 5', very average build (not 'stumpy' looking, nor very long-limbed--average) and the trike works great for me. Just adjust the seat and handlebars for your needs. You may have to fiddle around with it to get it just as you want.

Not sure, when I did my research 16" is considered a children's unicycle suitable for smooth areas and best used indoors or on smooth ground. Good for learning 6-9 years old. 20" wheel is traditionally the most popular size of unicycle and If I were you I would get the 20" wheel which is also great indoor and on smooth ground.

I would say go with the 100. This one sits high off the ground. I'm 6' and barley flat foot when stopped. Also a pretty heavy bike.

The wheels are 24. We bought it for our daughter who is 5'2. But she has no problems on her 26 cruiser either.

I'm 5'11" and weigh 160 lbs, and I ride a 24". A 24" for your son seems like a logical step up, but if he wants the challenge, they just go for the 26".

No! That is why I returned this- I'm about 5'6 and kept kicking the wheels. I would get the next step up! So worth the extra $50!!

I would be careful on selection - if you chose the 28 size then YES. If you chose the 23 size then I would say that it will be too small and you'll end up riding on the rim, especially banking turns.

I purchased the large 20", and I am 211cm (6' 1") tall and have an 81cm (32") inseam. The inseam is the number you want to focus on. You want to make sure that you will be able to comfortably put your feet on the ground while straddling the bike.

I don't think it would be too short, I'd possibly be a little concerned about the weight but the board has good flex. Consider buying other wheels too as these ride a little hard.Have fun!

Robert, the bicycle pictured in the Sunlite ad appears to have wheels in the 24 inch range looking at the adjustment bolt placement. Shouldn't have any installation problems if your frame and gear changing mechanisms are similar. I would guess tipover at speed in turns with taller wheels would also be a concern. Can't answer that as I jury rigged a set to work with 16 inch wheels for my grandson,not very tall at all. Ed

The fit is more determined by your height. I'd say between 5'6" to 6'3" or so it will fit ok. At your weight you have to be concerned about durability as well. The wheels are pretty high spoke count so they might be able to take your weight ok. However I wouldn't trust it enough to curb hop it or take it off any jumps or drops.

Definitely go bigger; go for a 24" to learn on. If I had to do it all again, I would not buy this brand unicycle. A good adult uni is the Torker LX (as opposed to the CX, which is like $20 less but much cheaper quality. I bought a CX for my girl and regret not spending the little bit more for something decent).

Yes. When I bought my son the unicycle, he was 5'3'' (about 160cm), he was able to ride at the lowest seating. Hope this helps.

Most likely in range 16" Frame. 24" IS NOT THE FRAME SIZE...that's tire. 24" frame would be the size a 6'6"+ person would get
