I've got a physics question. I've been looking at scooters, one of them is light weight with a 98mm wheel, and several others are heavier with bigger wheels. I'm having a hard time phrasing my question, but what I'm wanting to know is what benefits are there too the bigger tired scooters?
They can roll over rocks better, so less friction/drag (not sure if these terms are used interchangeably)
But they are heavier, therefore, its going to take my thrust to get the scooter going.
How can I determine which scooter would be easiest to get to school and back?
Bigger tire seems to be less friction
and also less thrust
Would it be better to have a lighter scooter that I could get more thrust out of, or a heavier scooter that has less drag/friction?How do I even bigger to compare and contrast?
At a certain point, bigger tires add weight and make a short trip long.
