Wheel removal with Magura HS-33 brakes

I recently got a unicycle with brakes. They are the Magura HS-33 model.
One complaint I have about the brakes is that I have to remove one side
to take the wheel off.

I was reading the technical manual for the brakes and noticed that they
appear to have quick release features for bicycles.

Can someone explain for me if this is a possibility on my unicycle?
Right now there is a bracket that has two bolts holding the brake to the
frame. The brake bosses have two threaded holes that the bracket
attaches to.

The frame in question is a KH24.

Thanks for any advice.

if you had one brake boss on each side like bikes, you could have the
quick release. because you have a 2 post set up, you (i'm almost
positive) can't have the quick release feature.

I have two quick releases on my bike brake, two flips of switches, and
my brakes are completely off.

For this reason, any uni i have with a brake will have this setup, not
the post mount

thats fine as long as your cool with a slightly heavier and more flexy
brake.the two bolt pattern comes off with a 5mm wrench pretty fast imo.

George is on the money. Just deflate the tire and you're good to go.

I've used both types and even without the quick-release feature, I
vastly prefer the two-bolt type. It is so much nicer. Just take one side
off (takes 10 seconds) or deflate the tire. Putting it back on takes
maybe a minute since you have to adjust and get it just right. The
design is so clean and works so well. I've also found that this is
something I rarely have to do. Using the Gazz I just don't get flats
(well, maybe once a year).
