What is the top speed while riding this unicycle? Or rather, the fastest you can realistically travel on this?

Hello Scott, The SBU is set at a top speed of 12.5 MPH. Personally, I ride at a consistent speed of 9 MPH on average. Best, Alan Ecoff Customer Relations Manager alan@focusdesigns.com www.focusdesigns.com

It's pretty fast. I go around our neighborhood on it and if you get a hill you can fly.

Nice unicycle for the money. With a little bit of practice you should be fine. Check out youtube for some how to learn to ride unicycle videos. That is what my husband did and he was riding in a couple days.

Not too fast..compared to a RC plane. But enough to chase my kid on an electric scooter that rated 15mph during the summer with no wind. It think its fast enough for a quadcopter. We love ours.x2. Still working.

Honestly, it doesn't matter. This motor on 26 inch wheels and 44 tooth gear gives you a max speed of 38 MPH wide open, recommend not running it wide open because it's hard on motor 35 MPH crushing speed better for motor life, which is faster than you can pedal even with a 21+ speed bicycle. It's all about comfort to you. I do recommend a font suspension mountain bicycle as it takes a lot of road roughness out of ride and wider tires help with traction. Hope this helps.

Excellent. I could turn in a single motion on a bus to slide into the wheelchair space. (I'm now the not-so-proud owner of a Gline Spitfire, which compared to the Scootie is a piece of crap.) :-(

I would say about 16-18mph, (Some of the patterns work better at slower speeds than others), either way it is really really cool!

Not too fast at all , it goes faster down hill . My son just likes it cause it looks like a real motorcycle ,

I've only rowed it, but I can row it about 40 mph. So - my serious answer is I don't know how fast a trolling will run this.

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 ride it myself occasionally. It's pretty quick, and I don't see a way to switch that.

My 4 years old has a blast with it. It is pretty fast. Battery last for about 20 minuts on one charge. I cannot say how good it is offroad as we never try it.

I don't think it's real fast honestly, it's a decent speed but I really expected more. I'm not sure whether it would catch air on a jump cause I've only seen it on a flat surface. Hope this helps.

It really rides like no other skate. Check the videos on youtube, there are even ones there to teach you how to skate. It will show you how to propel, how to move, turn, etc, which should answer most of your questions about how they work. Good luck!

The single speed is great if you do not have any big hills to go up and you are on a casual ride. As an out of shape middle ager when I bought my single speed, it got me quickly into shape. I opted for the 3-speed on my second bike because I do have some hills around here I and started using the bike to commute to work, making for a much easier ride first thing in the morning. Hope this helped a little.

It's a fast pace walk. There's only one self-propel speed, no throttle. It comes in handy for inclines though.

Yes, you can add to the speed by pedaling. It is approximately 5mph. I have a Garmin computer on it and I've reached 26mph. The gearing is such that in top gear I can still pedal faster than it's top speed.
