It says the wheels are rubber and is recommended for outside use... is that an accurate statement or do the wheels fray or get ruined by the ground?

I gave it to my grandson in mid-June. He lives in WI and the weather has been so rainy that the Ybike has been riden mostly inside.

It is accurate. My child is a big 1 year old and has used this on grass, asphalt, carpet, limestone and tile and is still a very smooth ride. The wheel itself is covered with a thin rubber making them easy to wipe clean after playing outdoors.

No I do not use these outside. They have indoor wheels. If you want skates that go out side you will need different wheels

I wouldn't recommend it for outside. Although the plastic seems tough, I think the elements would cause it to crack. Plus the treads are a carpet material. If that got wet, I think it would get moldy. I would get one of the expandable ramps for outside; they're good for the car too.

The Small tires are Tippy on Uneven ground/Trail. You'd be better off find a cart with Large wheels. They are plenty strong enough to handle the weight/load but like I said, Small Wheels are made for concrete etc.,

It's virtually a box cart on wheels. It's durable, but not meant for bad surfaces. I use it at the farmer's market and it's got curbs and cracks in the pavement. There are times when the spinning front wheels get caught. I would recommend pulling it; or getting another type of pull-cart that would be more durable for rough terrain. I've seen carts that look like pullie-duffle bags that might be better suited for your need.

They could, but not advised. The wheels are polyurethane, however they are soft and will wear out very fast, and be too tacky to enjoy on pavement. On a wood floor, they are great... Not advised for outdoor.

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.

the wheels are silicon based so outdoor wear should not be a problem. just remeber that gravel and stones will embedded in the wheel so be sure to clean off. also be sure and wipe off the boot if it gets wet.. my daughter used her's in the driveway(concrete) and garage..

The wheels are smooth at point of purchase and if they do not spend too much time on an abrasive surface they remain rather smooth. My son rides the tricycle indoors, on smooth concrete, and soft dirt. I discourage his riding it on gravel and rough asphalt.

My grandchildren play with them on the cement in my back yard. Pavement doesn't work and I wouldn't want them going down hill on them. I think a flat surface outdoors is what they do.

I just went out in my 8 below zero garage and checked. The rims are plastic, and the tires are "balloon tires" not plastic wheels; they have air valves for refilling if they happen to get low. I still have 4-5 feet of snow on the ground, and I may not get the opportunity to use my spreader until May.Bob-North Smithfield, RI

The wheels are a hard rubber. I rolled around on my driveway, garage floor and my tile kitchen floor. The wheels did not leave marks anywhere. I would guess it would be okay on wood floors as well. Hope that helps.

Has not damaged mine. The wheels are a soft rubber and I would find it hard to image that they would scratch or mar a wood floor.

I would assume so, the wheels don't seem that 'harsh.' That said, I have only used mine on carpet so I can't give any first-hand knowledge.

Have not had any problems with the wheels but we do not use cart on a regular basis although we have used it with very heavy items and it was fine.

The tires are rubber. We gave the wagon as a gift and have no idea how long the tires will last. Overall, the wagon is well constructed.

Thought this was answered. I have two and grandkids use on my wooden floors, no problems. I don't let them go outside on concrete; kept inside so wheels don't get any gashes to scratch floors.
