Big Wheels - Scooters
Scootering with Large Wheels
Large-wheeled scooters are becoming increasingly popular as a practical and effective mode of transport in urban areas. Riding a scooter to work or school allows both children and adults to enjoy fresh air and physical activity while avoiding traffic congestion and crowded buses.
Although some individuals view scooters as a platform for tricks and stunts, many predominantly use them for commuting. This category is largely dedicated to scooters as means of transportation, yet it does not rule out fun and recreation! Indeed, commuting by scooter can be a source of enjoyment, exercise, mindfulness, and adventure.
Selecting the Ideal Commuter Scooter
Not every kick scooter is designed for commuting. A suitable commuting or cruising scooter should feature large wheels that offer speed and a smooth ride, even on uneven surfaces. Furthermore, it should be easy to carry wherever you might need to take it.
When seeking a big-wheeled scooter, ensure you choose one that is practical and suitable for your specific needs. Key considerations include:
- Wheel size: Larger wheels are ideal for covering longer distances, while smaller wheels offer more manoeuvrability.
- Wheel material: Softer wheels provide excellent grip and glide smoothly on rough terrain. Conversely, harder wheel materials are preferable for smoother surfaces, offering less friction and grip.
- Adjustability: Can the bar height be adjusted to meet your precise requirements for a comfortable ride?
- Weight and foldability: Is the scooter foldable, and can it be carried easily when necessary?
- Maximum rider weight: Is your weight within the advised user weight limit for the scooter?
