Scooter Wheels & Tires

Today, many people consider scooters as an easy, reliable, and affordable way to get to places in their neighborhood. These ‘little wheels’ are currently well-known by urban commuters in almost every country around the globe. Unfortunately, scooter wheels wear out due to daily use and need replacement, just like car and truck wheels. From time to time, scooter owners are looking for a set of new wheels and tires because of blisters or cuts in tread grooves, signs of cracking, or any other issues. Today, the industry offers a huge range of scooter wheels and tires in a number of sizes, styles, and designs to meet different customers’ needs.

Scooter wheel sizes vary from 10’’ to 16’’. Some scooters use the same size wheels both front and rear, but many others have smaller front wheels and larger rear ones. 12’’ and 13’’ are the most popular sizes used on many scooter models, especially on the rear. Using different sized wheels brings some advantages and disadvantages. Thus, the smaller front wheel makes the scooter more maneuverable, while the larger rear wheel provides better stability at speed. The disadvantage of having the smaller wheel on the front is that it doesn’t roll over various obstructions on the road easily.

All the information you may need to choose the right tires for your scooter is printed right on the sides of your old tires. Thus, you know the size of tires you need and even see the special arrow that shows the way the tires should rotate (if the tread pattern is directional). There is also a speed designation printed on some tires. For instance, the tires with the letter ‘J’ are safe to use at speeds up to 62 mph.
