Hello I am 5"7 around 130 lbs. I really am considering getting the torker lx. What size wheel would you recommended for a beginner?

The 18" should bd fine.or 16".With a bigger wheel you pedal slower, which requires more balancing skill.i have read the hours to get competent are about 50 or more, compared to 1 hour for a bicycle. Takes a lot of patience.

I ride a Torker myself, and I'm 5"10 and 140. I would go for the 20 inch wheel, because it will give you a good amount of control.

I am a large person, not huge, but I weigh 200... I also mounted a 49cc 4 stroke gas engine on this huffy bike.... It also has the large spokes... If you are worrying that you might hurt it, don't be , as I do not think you could find a better frame or stronger wheel set-up...

Hello Isaias, To be honest, I measured the wheels in inches, then converted to mm. There is absolutely no difference in wheel size. The only difference, that I can see, between the Fuzion Cityglide and Razor A5 is the color, the handle grips, and the ability to hold a 200 lb. weight. Cityglide does not indicate how much weight it can sustain, but I am 125 lbs. and have had no problems at all. The only scooter which is a little more different than these two Razors is the Razor RDS ("dirt scooter") which has soft rubber wheels and look slightly larger. Both the Razor A5 and Cityglide have hard rubber wheels which sometimes make it hard to run on pebbles and railroad tracks. I am going to replace my hard wheels with soft rubber (similar to bicycle wheels) for a more smoother ride. Hope this helps! :D

Yes, no problem- but you're at the very upper end of heght range for this size / model its only a 17.5 / 44 cm frame, plus this is key, its just a 24" wheel model. It will look / feel like a toy bike under you. My girl is 4' 7" (55") and its a great fit for her. For your height, consider the 19" / 50cm-SM- Mens Denali, or the Womans Giordano, I think, is offered in the same 19" / 50cm size - either of these would have the larger 700c wheels - their height range would fit 4'10" - 5'6". Hope this helps....keep riding !

This won't be big enough for you for long. If you are looking for something speedier...I totally recommend a Motovox Mini Motor Bike...they are totally cool and will hold the weight of a man while still being the right size for you now. They are awesome fun too! But of you want a scooter like this...it's great...but I'm 5'5'' and have to spread my knees outward when I ride my daughter's, to avoid hitting the handle bars...slower than the Motovox bike too.

the wheels on this bike are 700c which is 29", so if you're judging the size by the wheels then yes, it is too big for you. I would suggest that you go to a bike shop and get fitted for a bike by someone that knows what they're doing. Even if you don't want to spend the money most high quality bikes cost, you will at least gain the knowledge you need to make a more informed decision when picking out a bike on your own, but whatever you decide, don't ever stop riding, you'll thank yourself later

I am not an advanced rider. Though I rode a 16 inch unicycle in my youth, I've had difficulty with this 26in. I weigh approx. 2nd lbs and am 5'10". I had to cut the post to accommodate my height and that has helped by I still find it difficult and would like to swap out for a 24" wheel... I am sure that would fit well for my height. I am also 49 and not as young as I used to be, haha. I hope this has helped some. Unicycle riding can be great fun and good exercise. Enjoy.

If you go on thule.com, you can fill out all your info and they will tell you what size fairing to get. Thats what I did and I love my fairing. Worth the money for sure:)

I don't ride, but my 11 and 13 year-old sons do well on 20" wheels. Being 6'3", I would think 24" might suit you better.

This comes with a 7 inch wheel. You can use a 9 inch pad. I am. it works fine. I will eventually purchase a 9 inch wheel just because i'm picky about such things. But it does work fine with my 9 inch pads.

I got this for my 8 yr old..I'd say its great for a begining rider..it is pretty snappy as you turn up the govoner. Great for riding around on flat surface as it sits low to the ground..but I'm 130lbs and ripped it around..loved it..for more experienced rider I'd say its like having a minibike..might want a size bigger if taking him on any real trails.

The wheels will fit and are available in 15,16,17 and 18" options. Wheel size will depend on you and the look you want. But if you go a different diameter than your stock wheels, you would need tires as well.

My first suggestion would be the adjustable 1-4 size skate -- working out just fine. If I were to order a standard skate, I'd go with a 2. Marilyn

In general, the bigger the better. For my C&C; 30 (30 ft sailboat - 8000 lbs) I have a 12 in. diameter wheel and it works great. Almost worth it's weight in gold.

Yes, it would be too big. I rode this board and I'm 170 pounds. Here's a site that lets you build a board for your kid: http://www.skatexs.com/It's definitely a much pricier option. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of what you should be looking for.

John, it came with a chart for different wheel sizes, I do not remember if it went down that small. I set mine up for 27 inches.

having this being my first longboard I'm not very knowledgable on the situation. I have only ridden about 3 longboards all very different. I order this one on the advice of a friend and have had no complaints. How long it is can be an inconvenience, but that's what you get from a LONGboard. Other than that it rides extremely smooth and turns well. I don't think different size wheels would change month or be with it
