What are the parts to a unicycle?
Asked by Wiki User
the unicycle is very simple, from top down the parts are as follows:
seat, -to sit on, different from a bike seat in style, so legs can go strait down to pedals directly underneath it.)
seat post-connected to the seat with several ways, a 4-bolt square bracket, or bike-style connection, usually. other than that its a metal post.
Frame- connects seat post to wheel, a clamp of some sort tighens on the top of it, which squeezes on the seat post, keeping it there, at the ajusted height. it then splits at the crown, into 2 vertical posts.
-bearings- ball bearing usually; connects frame to hub. (lollipop style, is another way to make this connection)
hub- center of wheel, with spokes leaving it to the rim.
spokes- same as a bike, connected to rim to provide strength and stablility.
rim- metal outside o wheel. provides strength to the inner tube and tire.
crank arms- connect pedals to hub. stronger than bike, and right ones don't have crank system (except for girraffes)
-pedals (same as bikes)
that's about it, although there may be more/less depending with the unicycle.
brakes, crank system, handle bars (attached to seat post) second and third wheels (vertical) all might be included.

Which was invented first the unicycle or bicycle?
Asked by Wiki User
Unicycles evolved from early bicycles in the 19th century pennyfarthing bikes, or "ordinary bikes," that had one big wheel in the front and a smaller wheel in the back. Often, riders would find themselves on the front wheel only and realized that they could actually ride on one wheel alone. Who actually invented the first official unicycle is not known.
One contributor says that his grandfather, William Newhouse, invented the unicycle in 1903, but there is no other information available to corroborate that claim at this point.
No one knows for sure
apparently someone forgot to add back to a penny farthing
