Adult Scooters & Big Wheel Scooters
Big Wheel Scooters for Adults and Teenagers
There are numerous manufacturers offering adult scooters with big wheels. We have compiled some of the finest models here. Naturally, teenagers and older children will also find most of these models suitable.
The Design of Adult Scooters
The design of adult scooters is tailored to provide enhanced comfort. In addition to having big wheels, these scooters generally have the capability to be adjusted to a higher position compared to standard scooters, and feature a deck that is both wider and longer. You can find the recommended user weight specified under the specifications for each scooter.
Advantages of Big Wheel Scooters
Adults typically utilise scooters for commuting. For transportation purposes, it is advisable to select a scooter with big wheels, as it offers stability and is less affected by uneven surfaces. Scooters with big wheels usually travel faster, meaning less energy is required to propel them. For adults, we always suggest adult scooters with a wheel diameter of at least 150mm.
Foldable Adult Scooters
Choosing a foldable scooter can be beneficial, particularly if you need to take the scooter on public transport such as trains or buses, or to your workplace. The folding mechanism engages in a few seconds, and once folded, the bar serves as a handy handle for carrying the scooter. However, if you prefer your adult scooter to be immediately ready for use, a model with a kickstand might be more appealing.
Foldable models can sometimes feel slightly bouncy and less sturdy than fixed-frame models. Nonetheless, this poses no issue as long as you adhere to the maximum weight specified by the manufacturer.
