It just seems that the narrow 3" wheels commonly seen on scooters are way too sensitive to road imperfections. I've seen some with oversized 6" or so wheels that are wider like a mountain bike tire, those seem safer.
I miss eBikes, which seem to have been pretty much replaced by eScooters, at least in my community.
- H1Supreme 5y agoTotally agree. Those wheels are way to small at top speed. You're just asking to get a stone jammed in there.
- droopyEyelids 5y agoA 1.5" deep pot hole will stop a 3" wheel as if it hit a solid wall.
- wraptile 5y agoThat has been basic rule of thumb when it comes to motorcycles for ages - the bigger the wheels the safer it is. The only downside is extra weight and turning radius (smaller wheels can turn more) - which is irrelevant for motorcycles the article argues for. When it comes to wheels - size matters!
