Getting a unicycle in Taiwan

Taiwan makes a lot of unicycles, but it's not that easy to find a place to buy one.

I think I can buy this one by calling and having it delivered:

(note: I bought itm less than 50 euros, and it's great!)
I think this is the same one on an auction site:

Another one I looked at:

OK now the one I want is this 36-inch monster:

(costs 3 times more, so I'll wait first to see if I get good at the 26-inch one...)

Is Torker the same as Taroka? I guess not:
