"I tried a number of vehicles (which ranged from 2-4 wheels), and the Yucycle was the most fun! This unicycle-with-training wheels or tricycle-without-handlebars requires you to steer apparently by sheer mind force, but once you get the hang of it, it's a blast!!"

"It's easy to jump on, and I'm not an extreme sports (rider)... It's from L.A., it's brand spanking new, you gotta ride it!"
- Jen Lockwood, THE DAILY GROMMET
More details...
Easy to learn and fun to ride, this brand new invention allows the user to set the pace as skill and stamina increase. A direct-drive front wheel requires riders to keep the legs in constant motion giving you the same workout as a spinning cycles found in the gym. Because it is hands-free, the mid-body twists right and left in order to steer which really works and strengthens the abs and core muscles. The Yucycle gets the whole body involved, resulting in a full aerobic workout. Best of all, its really fun!
Most users can ride intuitively, mastering turns and figure-eights within minutes. A fairly slow pace is more challenging than a brisk walk, while more exertion can result in a heart pumping cardio workout. Because it is a "ride-on" cycle, users can enjoy the fresh air and scenery of their local sidewalks, parks and playgrounds.
Yucycle is solidly built, with knobby pneumatic tires and a sturdy frame that resembles a rugged mountain bike. Until riders are comfortable riding hands-free, they can use a padded seat with handles front and back.
Another really useful feature is the quick folding frame that allows the Yucycle to be carried in the car trunk or in the back seat.
Another cool feature is a non-slip rear step-bar that lets users stand up and ride the Yucycle like a scooter. Family and friends soon will discover that a passenger can ride double on the step-bar, making this a unique and social fitness activity! Kids and teens love giving a lift to friends, while parents can share the fun with their child riding behind.
The Yucycle has proven itself popular with a wide range of ages, from 10 years to adult. Girls and women in particular love the ease with which they can get up and start riding instantly. There is even a growing number of Hollywood and music industry celebrities now riding Yucycles. Just dont tell the paparazzi!
