It's worse than just small wheels, too. Most e-scooters have rigid wheels rather than air-filled ones, so the issue is compounded since the wheel can't deform enough to deal with bumps. This is one of the reasons I've stopped riding e-scooters in favor of bikes - after the third time having to dump the scooter and almost falling on my face because it hit a half-inch lip or pothole, I decided there are better methods of getting around.
