It looks like a horrible bike if you have to actually pedal it, the wheels are tiny! You might as well get a moped or something instead of that, which would stick out like a sore thumb and be a good target for thieves. Also where do you lock it up if you have to? Or do you just fold it up and take it inside? For some reason it doesn't seem like it was made by a person who's ever ridden a bike.
- apsec112 8y agoFoldable ebikes have to have small wheels, so they can be carried easily when folded up. For a non-folding bike, I think they're just being dumb.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoSmaller wheels are stronger and less likely to go out of true with abuse. That translates into fewer support issues.
- laurieg 8y agoWheel size doesn't make that much difference to how easy or hard it is to pedal a push-bike. Notice the front gear on the bike is rather large, this compensates for the smaller wheels. Larger wheels do have slightly less rolling resistance.
- abyssin 8y agoLarger wheels are also slightly more comfortable on roads with small irregularities.
