Re: How does a geared unicycle work?


From what I read, there is a button sticking out of the crank, at the
axle. If you kick the button in one way, it is locked like an ordinary
hub. Then I assume you must kick the button with the other foot, to
engage a planetary gear system, that gives a higher 1/1.5 up shift.

Planetary gear systems are a very old design. I had a 2:1 reduction
planetary gearbox in a diesel boat 15 years ago, and it was a super old
design then.:)

Shlumph gets the credit for making the first one for unicycles, or at
least the first one in production.
