variations
- much larger wheel — increases drive ratio (-acceleration, +top speed), height is limited by the rider's leg length
- giraffe — add a chain = can be arbitrarily tall (typically 5-8 feet, but a few are much taller)
- ultimate wheel — remove the seat = difficult to maintain side-to-side stability
- impossible wheel — remove the crank arms = no way to speed up or slow down
- multi-wheel unicycle — equivalent to a giraffe, though an even number of wheels cancels out the gyroscope effect
- crab unicycle (skip to 2:15) — giraffe with a (90 degree) twist
- walking unicycle — replace wheel with mechanical feet. I've only seen offhand references to it, no idea if it's real or widespread. [1] (skip to 1:00)
- swing bike
