do the wheels slide well? as well as a penny?

The wheels seem to slide very well. We got this as a first board for an 8 year old beginner. Not sure how it compares to a penny though. We bought 2 we liked this so well.

yes they do. Suggest by the way that if you purchase, you also purchase a couple of spare wheels

That is what it excels at, slopes and inclines where round wheels may not be the best. No slipping or sliding. This machine is a tank and is very difficult to move even in free-wheeling mode if not powered on.

yes ...no problems so far .....fit perfectly . and it does not come with wheels.

Yes they do. But, they don't travel very far because the wheels are plastic and don't have a lot of weight and grip.

In regards to the wheels, I would say they're top notch. I haven't had it off reading per se, but around the house on carpet, tile, and stairs, they work great, and never have me issues.

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

Aslong as you're not riding really fast and end up make really tight turn because they do slide, either way great wheels to cruise

It has nice wheels, so it slides very readily. The width is 25" which includes the wheels.

We've had no problems with the wheels yet. We use it almost daily around the house. The handle is a little wobbly, but I think that's more due to how I assembled it. Haven't taken the time to try to correct that. So far really happy with it.

Heavy duty wheels would be a problem because the legs are circular and only 2 inches in diameter at the bottom. Sliders would work and if your floor is smooth it does slide easily.

Mine are rock solid on these, it is difficult to just slide, you have to really elevate to move them at all.

yes, the sliding mechanism is very smooth and can take quite a bit of weight.
