What is the benefits of the larger wheels verses the smaller ones?

You know, it's about scale for me. I bought the 12-in. for my 6-yr old, it looks fine. I just asked my 9-yr old to ride it, it just seems to be too small. The foot board especially (she's a kid's 5 in shoes). I'm not sure of the actual size difference between the two options, but I would guess that the 14-in would accommodate a larger, heavier child. Amazon's description seems to apply only to one model, so I couldn't make a real comparison.

Our child can ride it on dirt or in the grass and it will still work... not that we encourage riding on lawn. But it us more versatile than small wheels.

The larger bike style tires allow you to go over any terrain. The only downside is that these scooters are heavier than the razors. My 4 and 6 yr old like them, but I think they will enjoy them more as they get older

The larger wheels allow the rider to go on grass, gravel anywhere they want to go, if they have small wheels, pavement or sidewalk are all they can do. I hope this helps, my granddaughters love theirs, they get a lot of use.

I thought the larger wheels helped my Grandson go from the little ones to the bigger ones so he would ride a two wheeler sooner. Still hasn't gone to the two wheeler, but this is a really nice Segway....

I always try to follow the manufacturer's advice when it comes to weight limits. I learned the hard way that rubber wheels can develop flat spots if the wheeled item sits in one place for too long, as with a wheeled pantry. Too much weight can also affect the performance. The wheel sort of drags, probably because of the pressure on the axle.

are you asking what size you should get? that all depends on the size of the wheel you have.

I have both. I like the 3 wheeled big pneumatic wheels (absorb shock better and better outdoors). You can run over your foot with the 4 wheeled and even hitting a carpet will jerk the handlebars. Brakes do not lock, but I have not found that ot be a problem. Go with the big wheels if you can afford it, you won't be sorry.

I don't think there is a big difference. I read some reviews and I know that the front wheel on the older model is a double wheel. I honestly don't remember the other differences but the reviews are really helpful so have a look!

why wouldnt you just put bigger wheels on it and accomplish the same thing?

Good morning, the best for training and recreation are the slow wheels, especially if you are a beginner. Faster wheels are for higher levels, and competitions. For any further assistance/clarification, do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, barnettsports

No, the platform is heavier and wider as well. The whole scooter seems more sturdy. The hind wheel is also a double on the maxi vs. a single on the mini. My 3 year old is petite (30lbs) but she has no problem with the Maxi size.

Front wheels are like shopping cart wheels and the rear wheels are about the size of a frisbee but 4 inches wide. I have taken mine to beaches with deep soft sand and i have mixed feelings about it. It definately helps because it is better than carrying everything but if it is loaded down, it can be a chore even when rolling it backwards on the large wheels. Its great if you are just carrying a light load.

Roomier for and more versatile. Large tires make it easy to go over grass. Can use this wagon forever vs the comfort one.

Noticed a little difference from a 31x10 to 33x12 on 15in rim it gave a smoother ride but it may be caused by bigger tire and its thread. When I had the 31s it felt a little bit stiff.

Don't forget about the rear wheels! Deluxe models as this one has bigger rear wheels which make it so much easier to push and steer. It won't disappoint.

They are two different models. The two wheels in front (the cheaper model) has has small hard wheels front and back, which is good if most of your pushing is going to be done on hard surfaces that are even - concrete, bitumen, etc. The single wheel at the front is the mini GT. It's more expensive and has the air-filled tyres and wheel suspension, which allows a bit more of a comfortable ride for bubba on uneven surfaces such as boardwalks, dirt, grass, etc.

Typically, the smaller size wheels are better for doing tricks. Not sure about the red and orange unicycles.

Yes, the large wheels makes it very easy to walk on grass or dirt roads. Large gravel doesn't work.

I have the Bob and it has been great on the beach. The large wheels are what really make a difference.

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.
