Hoppley 20 Unicycle

An ideal first unicycle at an amazing price. Durable, comfortable and low maintenance. This is the best value, highest specification beginner unicycle in New Zealand! Includes Free Learn to Ride Guide.

The Hoppley 20" unicycle is ideally suited to children and learners ages 10 and up. 20" is the most popular size of learners' unicycle and is a very versatile first unicycle. And at this great low price, you'd be mad to miss out!

Check out the Hoppley's great features:

• Great-looking black powder-coated steel frame, with Hoppley decals. Frame features main cap bearing holders. Frames with main cap bearing holders are superior in strength to other designs such as lollipop bearing holders.
• Comes with the same high quality quick-release seat clamp as the higher spec model Axis 20.
• Fitted with a learners' moulded foam seat. Hard blue plastic front and rear bumpers protect the seat from damage when the unicycle is dropped.
• 300mm long seatpost allows a wide range of seat heights - simply adjust as your child grows! The seatpost is 25.4mm in diameter which means that it is stronger and less likely to twist when the unicycle is dropped. The Hoppley is the only beginners' unicycle in New Zealand to offer such a large diameter seatpost!
• Indoor/street tyre with Schrader valve. This is the same as car valves for convenience.
• 20" durable steel wheel with 36 spokes.
• Robust plastic pedals.
• 127mm length cranks.
• Sealed precision bearings.
• This is a higher specification than other beginners' unicycles available in NZ.

Leg length sizes: Maximum 840mm (33"), Minimum 720mm (28"), cut down seat post minimum 610mm (24"). Note that these sizes are measured from the crotch to the floor wearing shoes, not trouser sizes.

These unicycles are intended for beginners and are great for learning or general riding but are not recommended for advanced tricks or jumping. If you are a heavier rider, or wanting an even more robust unicycle, we highly recommend the Axis 20" or Nimbus II 20" models.
