  2. I'm sorry, I just had to say it.
    As for the help part - I don't know, sorry again.
    I suppose if it says it's 50lb in the specifications than it has to
    weigh somewhere round there... My unicycle weighs one kilo more than
    they said it would. Still light though.

    I was actually looking for help not a joke:eek:

    I think that's "shipping weight", not actual weight. Probably a
    misprint also unless the box and packing material weighs a lot! just
    call udc if it's a big concern-they'd be able to tell you the actual
    poundage of the TX.

    No, look on UDC.

    I have gift cards to use at amazon and I don't think UDC is cheaper or
    has free shipping or will take amazon.com GCs

  9. Just, to annoy everyone once more.
    What's 50lbs in kilos?
    I thought it was too light at first, but apparently it's too heavy...

    I'm saying you can call udc and find out the actual weight. you don't
    have to buy from them.

    what's 17 pounds in kilos? I know there are converters and stuff, but I
    consider it cheating to use them...

  20. Its not 17 pounds, its more about 20 to 25, they are kinda heavy.

    The 50 pounds comes form the size box it will be shipped in. The
    giraffe will be took apart into I think 4 main pieces, then the seat
    pedal, chain and whatnot, so it all has to fit in a box big enough for
    it.

    Look at cokers, they are shipped in a 70 pound box, but the unicycle
    itself weighs about 20.
