@ejrich7016 The balancing is very different to a normal unicycle. With a normal unicycle you do lots of corrections with the feet, with a Freewheel you have to do it mostly with the brake. It feels a bit like learning to ride again, but it's so much fun!
@ejrich7016 If you pedal backwards on a normal fixed unicycle, you ride backwards. If you pedal backwards on a Freewheel you can pedal with nearly zero resistent unlimited into nothing, its like the freewheel on a bike.

This video is indeed quite fascinating, and it's a great motivation for me to get a unicycle free wheel hub ; ). My only question is that I see the unicycle on this video is a 27.5 in, and I wonder if the free wheel hub can also function on a 36 in Road unicycle. If it's not possible, can you please suggest what size unicycle is recommended.
Thanks! On a 36" it definitely can work with a lot of practice. But I recommend not do learn on that huge size. I recommend 29" and smaller for learning. Mainly because mounting is way easier to learn and your fall height is lower. I personally have not tried a 36" Freewheel and definitely not see the point on building one for me. I love my 36" how it is:)
@rebekkawiedener1330 Thanks a lot for the information. I'll start saving enough money for a 29-inch unicycle for both off-road and commuting purposes.
Thanks:) Yes, I don't wear bike shorts. Never felt comfortable in them and never saw the need for extra padding. For the skin the extra breathability it's definitely great. Met a fellow bikepacker (male) who also sweared on merino wool underwear (in his case boxer shorts) worn inside out with hiking pants over them. The safety gear definitely saved my trip multiple time (gloves and pads). For muni riding I often use also elbow pads:)
Hey ich mache gerade mein Einrad für Saudi Arabien fertig, weißt du wie der Gepäckträger und die vordere Stange heißen bzw wo du sie bestellt hast? Und die Drybags? Finde die mit den Ösen nicht bei seatosummit. Wär nett wenn du Zeit dafür hast, danke☺️
Ja krass, könnte ich mir mit meinem 16kg Rucksack garnicht vorstellen. (Bin aber auch noch nie ein oneWheeler gefahren) meinen Respekt. Sieht jedenfalls Mühsamer aus als meine OvernighterTouren.
This brings another question...... You can freewheel, you can freewheel and brake on your downhills, but you're still limited to the one gear and wheel size. Would it be possible to integrate a Rohloff Speedhub to the wheel on a unicycle? (Why not?) -- It would be terrific for touring. You would be able to ride a smaller wheel size (26" or 27,5" instead of a huge 36"). You'd still be able to maintain a good clip on flat, smooth, favourable roads, but you'd have much more control on a smaller wheel when you encountered more difficult terrain.
My touring unicycle Ithat I rode on my 7800 km trip thru Europe last summer has 2 gears. Its not a freewheel, but has a normal gear 1:1 and a higher gear about 1:1.5 (what makes the 29 inch wheel to a 45 inch one). This was definitely a game changer for me and made me cover way more kilometres a day than on previous trips! And the low gear is great for terrain and the high gear is great for covering distances. And this with the advantage of the easier mounting of the 29" wheel. A 36" with luggage is crazy difficult to get on to.
Wow! Disc brakes are a wonder! I never imagined a unicycle with a freewheel until watching Ed Pratt's world tour. But, this is amazing! This is a superb video of the possibilities with a unicycle and of your tremendous talent and skill. Simply put, .... Wow!
Super Video. Manches mal war die Musik zu laut um deine Stimme gut zu hören. Auch währe eine kleine Streckenkarte deiner Route hilfreich. Danke für das Video.
Danke! Auch Danke für das Feedback! Eine Karte ist auf jeden Fall geplant für andere Videos. Dies es Video musste nur mal schnell fertig gemacht werde, bevor das wichtigere und größere Projekte angefangen werden können😅😊
I sold my unicycle B4 I could learn n always wondered,why a Freewheel wasn't yet invented when I saw a Dude hop off the hill on a unicycle .I may give it a try again
