Toronto: Electric Unicycle Course & Test Ride with Gear

Summary

Learn electric unicycle riding in Toronto with real guidance and hands-on practice

You’ll start by getting geared up and meeting your instructor in Toronto before learning to ride an electric unicycle step by step — from balance basics to real movement. You’ll try out different models (and even an e-scooter), get filmed during your progress, and leave with that wild feeling of having done something you didn’t think you could.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the quiet whir of the electric unicycle wheels — softer than I expected. Our instructor, Alex, handed me a helmet and grinned, “You’ll probably wobble at first, everyone does.” He wasn’t wrong. There’s this weird moment when you’re standing on the EUC (that’s what they call it), knees shaking a bit, and your brain is yelling that this shouldn’t work. But then you just… move. The wind felt cool against my cheeks even though it was only late morning. I kept thinking, wow, I’m actually doing this?

We started near downtown Toronto — not right in the city bustle but close enough to hear distant streetcars. Alex explained how the balance board works, and honestly I thought I’d fall off immediately. But he had this rolling support system (kind of like training wheels for adults) so you never really hit the ground. He showed me how to mount up, leaning in just enough to keep things steady. At one point he laughed when I tried to pronounce “EUC” like a local — apparently it’s just “you-see.” Small detail but it stuck with me.

After about an hour of practice (and a couple near-misses with a pigeon), we switched between different electric unicycles and even tried an e-scooter for comparison. The feeling is totally different — the EUC is more like floating? There was a quick break where Alex filmed us with a 360 camera; I looked ridiculous but also kind of proud. The best part was realizing nobody cared if you looked silly because everyone there was learning too. By the end, my legs were tired but my head felt lighter somehow. It’s weird what trying something new can do for your mood.
