  1. I want to know how many unicycles are sold each year? Trials and muni
    mostly. Say how many KH are sold each year? Information like this makes
    a difference when thinking about trying to develop a new product for
    unicycling. 🙂

  2. I usually buy one or two every year, if that helps any. 😄

  3. I think unicycle products in general would give a more detailed response
    as to what people want but can't find in current stock unicycles. This
    would benefit development for either a new product or complete unicycle
    more than say the purchase of stock unicycles, because who knows what
    people do to them when they get home? What is the first thing they
    change?

    Also, I would have suspected in most cases when a unicycle is bought and
    doesn't live up to expectations, the owner can't shift it and won't buy
    a new one right away, so the data wouldn't take that into account and
    just show 'X number of such and such unicycles sold'. Although this is
    true for unicycle products as well, they are cheaper and people are more
    willing to buy immediate replacements, and this would be easier to
    gauge. Not sure if I'm making sense!

    Plus when a person buys a KH for example, they are unlikely perhaps to
    buy another next year. As a small section of an already small sport with
    such a relatively small demand, the numbers of people not buying a uni
    because they already have one would make a much bigger difference to the
    number of sales. If it was bikes say, then people are always always
    going to want them, and there are SO many bike enthusiasts that the
    figures wouldn't really show a major difference from year to year.

    Of course the above could be nonsense, this is just how it seems to me.

  4. Thanks Tom, that's the info i needed...

    I just want a figure of how many munit/trials are sold each year around
    the world. I know I will have to tweak the numbers to get usable info.

  5. Perhaps for numbers, unicycle.com could help you? I dont see how it
    could hurt to try. *shrug*
