Could the wheels be replaced with balloon tires, interested in using it for a beach cart.

My husband believes the wheels could be replaced with balloon tires, as long as the rod sizes are the same to hold them in place securely.

Not easily. The wheels are mounted in a "U" channel that's just wide enough for the existing tires. You COULD rig something up, but it'd be a lot of messing around, and wouldn't have much strength for hauling heavy loads. I'd think you'd be better off just going with a regular 2 wheel dolly, or even something like this. ABOGEAR BEACH CART DOCK CART COLLAPSIBLE AUSSIE WALKABOUT CART

I do not know about the beach. I only use my on solid surfaces. I am not sure if the wheels are big enough for beach sand.

I would suggest metal wheel bearings and the foam inserts that go inside the tires.

Sorry to have a negative answer, but differently not. While the large wheels do make moving about smooth as possible on solid ground, or pavement. The tires are very narrow and would sink in the sand causing serious injury. I am not knowledgeable as to a device that could fit your, or your loved ones needs. I just read comments left by others.....I have to use an analogy that the tires are narrower than a bicycle, and there are four of them.As an able bodied person, I could not handle this rollator on sand.

Definitely. I would consider purchasing new wheels eventually though. The board is great for cruising though I have no problem with its everyday use.

No sure. I have not install anything besides what came on it. The wheels are road wheels. So you would have to replace tire and wheel. I you are wanting a wider tire. This bike is built like a road bike. The only thing that makes it a hybrid is the straight handle bar.

Yes, only caveat would be the wheel assembly is tough to get lined up and the treads on correctly. My son tried but did ask for my help after popping the wheels off a couple of times. Loads of fun and moves around pretty good.

This was my main concern. As with any tire they can go flat. I've walked over 4 blocks a day to the beach for about two weeks with the cart and must say that the tires hold up great. The asphalt that I'm pushing on is old and very rough. I've had no problem with the cart or the tires...wish I would have bought it sooner. I think as long as you not constantly rolling over sharp objects you'll be fine. The tires also cine with a small repair kit.

Yes be careful, the wheels are not made well and tires go flat I'm returning the one I purchased

I would be hesitant to give you a 100% yes on this. The tires are about 3-3.5" wide and not very tall to stay on top of the sand. It would depend what type of sand you are trying to go through. When it is water logged, it seems to have some more "holding power" versus it being powder dry. The cart itself is well enough made to haul the load. I think you could possibly get different wheel/tires that are wider and taller to fit your needs. I also believe that most of the wagons that I looked at had very similar tires/wheels.

I have not used it sand, but I would think the wheels are to narrow work in sand.

The cart would need a special coat of marine paint as it is made of easily weathered plywood. Also it is quite heavy to move around and the narrow wheels would quickly sink in loose sand.

No, not disassembled easily. Wheels might not travel easily in sand (they are plastic).

I also live on the coast. The wheels are plastic . I'm sure the bolts can be replaced. It's hard to turn.

Yes you could if you can't bolt it. It's just a pain if you ever need to remove them. Also making sure the cart is made of steel.Good luck.

I'm not sure. Sand could probably get caught between the wheels. I have never brought it to the beach before.

Yes you can. The unit is heavy 100 lbs plus, big, bulky and the wheels are too thin for soft surface travel. If you're going off road you'll have to think about how to transport it. Its a great unit and I recommend it. I would suggest changing out the wheels and devise a way to replace them with a wheel barrel tire. I hope this helps.
