The 14-inch wheel also provides a larger tyre contact surface, which improves grip and grip on the road, especially at high speeds and on winding roads.
In addition, the larger wheel improves the scooter’s handling, giving riders more control and allowing them to ride the scooter comfortably in challenging traffic or urban conditions. The 14-inch wheel combined with the high ground clearance, makes the Orbiter more permeable to road obstacles. This feature makes it different and better than other scooters. This makes the riding experience safer and more comfortable when compared to scooters with smaller wheels.
