But a bigger wheel scooter is always going to be heavier than a smaller wheel one, so this is where you may have to compromise. Budget scooters may compromise on some of the features. Their wheels may have plastic rather than the alloy cores found on pro scooters. Wheels tend to be smaller so won't be as smooth or fast or durable.
