Tricky I think but maybe.
You generally have a fixed wheel on a unicycle. That would make derailleur gears harder to implement as they'd normally work with a freehub of some kind.
Hub gears like a Sturmey-Archer generally need to zero torque going through them to change gear. Again that's hard to do when you're using the forward and backward pedalling to balance.
- uranium 3y agoThere are geared unicycles, e.g. https://krisholm.com/en/gear/component/kh-schlumpf https://krisholm.com/en/gear/component/kh-schlumpf Folks I know who've used them liked them because they took the place of both a 24" and a 36" wheel, in one unicycle. I don't know that they ever changed gears while riding, although I'm told it's possible.
