🛞 1. Road Tires

Features:

  • Smooth tread or light patterns to reduce rolling resistance

  • Low friction, enabling higher speeds

Advantages:

  • Higher top speed (with the same motor power)

  • Smoother and more stable ride

  • Performs well on asphalt or concrete surfaces

  • Lower noise level

Best For:

  • Urban commuters

  • Riders who prioritize speed and efficiency

  • Those riding mostly on flat, paved roads


🛞 2. Off-Road Tires

Features:

  • Deep tread design for enhanced grip

  • Wider tires

  • Lower tire pressure for better shock absorption

Advantages:

  • Excellent traction and slip resistance

  • Suitable for rough terrain like dirt, gravel, grass, or sand

  • Better shock absorption and handling on bumpy surfaces

Best For:

  • Off-road enthusiasts or trail riders

  • Riders who commute on unpaved or mixed terrain

  • Those who prioritize control and safety over speed


✅ How to Choose?

Riding Environment Recommended Tire Type
Urban roads, pavement Road tires
Mountains, trails, muddy paths Off-road tires
Mixed terrain, occasional off-road Off-road tires with better comfort
Speed lovers, racers Road tires (lower resistance)

💡 Practical Tips:

  • Want both options? Choose a model that allows tire swapping, such as the Geofought G14 or M5, which lets you switch between road and off-road tires.

  • Heavier riders may prefer off-road or wider tires for added stability.

  • Always check tire compatibility when replacing tires — make sure the size (e.g., 13/14/16 inches) fits your scooter model and brake system.
