How to choose an adult scooter? In fact, it is a problem that many adult users will encounter when they are new to electric scooters. As a novice scooter, I see two-wheeled, three-wheeled, wide-wheeled, narrow-wheeled...How can I choose this? Today, the editor came to talk to everyone.
The wide wheel has a stronger grip. Strong grip will make it easier for the rider to control the scooter. Imagine a large truck with multiple rows of wheels. The benefits of strong grip are particularly obvious when going downhill, and the body is easier to control. Similarly, the inconvenience caused by the strong grip is that the riding speed is sacrificed, and the sliding distance of the pedal is also relatively shorter. Therefore, at the same distance, a cyclist riding a wide wheel may have to pedal more times than a cyclist riding a standard wheel.
Standard wheels are much narrower than wide wheels. The standard wheel is lighter and more flexible. In addition to not requiring such a laborious kick, it also requires the rider to have better balance.
In addition to the thickness of the wheels, it is divided into three-wheeled scooters and two-wheeled scooters. Before explaining the difference between the two, we introduce another concept-lean-to-steer.
"Gravity steering" is usually used to describe the steering method of a three-wheeled scooter. As we all know, bicycles or traditional two-wheeled scooters need to rely on the driver's hands to turn the handlebars to control the direction.
The three-wheeled scooter uses a tilt steering mechanism. The rider uses the weight of the body to move left or right to make their electric scooter gently bend in this direction while grasping the handle to maintain balance. The way of gravity steering makes the rider's experience closer to skis or surfboards, which is why we often say that scooters can provide an enjoyable experience of "surfing on land".
After understanding the mechanism of "gravity steering", is the answer to choosing a two-wheeled or three-wheeled scooter clearer?
Choosing a three-wheeled scooter will give you maximum stability when using gravity steering, which means you can control it by tilting your body. Three-wheeled scooters can also stand independently without supporting feet, which is not possible with two-wheeled scooters. Due to the design of the three-wheeled scooter, it cannot steer at a large angle as fast as a two-wheeled scooter.
This has advantages and limitations. When the cyclist is about to enter a turn, the tricycle needs to reserve time before turning. Of course, it is more stable than a two-wheeled vehicle and can avoid sharp turns. The main advantages of three-wheeled scooters are stability and ease of riding, but they cannot make vigorous sports turns.
Choosing a two-wheeled scooter can bring portability and convenience to users. Compared with a three-wheeled vehicle, a two-wheeled vehicle requires the rider's balance ability, but the advantage is that it can make more rapid and sporty turns and increase the overall mobility sex. "Two-wheeled vehicles are more portable and convenient, and they also have higher requirements on the physical strength and balance of the rider.
