Why Does My Wheel Feel Wobbly?

Learning to ride an electric unicycle is like learning a brand new skill, it's entirely normal to feel a bit wobbly for the first week or two. Even for quick learners, it's common for some riders to feel some back and forth wobbling between their legs and feet. 

This phenomenon is not due to any problem with the unit - it's simply a matter of feeling relaxed and comfortable with your new skill!

Common Reasons For New-Rider Wobble

• Overly tight leg grip: it's great to have your legs against the wheel, but when you grip too tight with a rigid stance, it can lead to wobbles at higher speeds
• Stiff and tense posture: Relaxation is your best medicine
• Wide stance: both feet and legs are not in contact with the wheel leading to too much play and low stability

Suggestions To Overcome Wobble

• RELAX! Loosen your knees, a slight bend is good for absorbing shock.
• Position your feet slightly pigeon-toed. This forces your knees to bend inwards and apply light pressure to the unit.
• Grip the body of the wheel with your ankles and feet, not your legs. Your feet and ankles are closer to the axle. Gripping at this point provides much more stability than gripping tightly with your legs.
