Dont those small wheels get caught in potholes?
No. Small wheels provide very responsive and nimble driving in traffic and provide easy maneuvering for parking. Contrary to common myth, the smaller wheels on scooters do not make them noticeably less safe. Smaller wheels result in greater handling responsiveness, which can keep the scooterist out of trouble more readily. Scooters simply maneuver more easily than motorcycles. Also, those same smaller wheels allow for a lower center of gravity, which is a definite advantage. Also, you’ll find smaller wheels noticeably cheaper to replace. All in all, there are advantages to small wheels!
