Can I put bigger or different tires on my scooter? Sorry, but you can't. The tires and wheels that your scooter comes equipped with are not changeable. Larger scooters may have air-filled (pneumatic) tires that are suitable for a wider range of surfaces.
Just so, can I put bigger tires on my scooter?
You want more speed, well then you want a taller tire (larger overall diameter). However, you'll sacrifice acceleration, which can be a little to a lot depending on how much taller you use. With most scooters, you can't get much taller in diameter of your tire because it will rub the engine case, in most cases.
In this manner, what is the TYRE pressure on a mobility scooter?
approximately 18-24 pounds per square inch
Well, the same applies to scooter wheels. Small wheels transmit bumps and jolts to the rider much more severely than larger ones do. The larger the wheel the larger an object it can roll over without ill effect. Smaller wheels do offer poorer handling than larger wheels do, however.
