My grandson lives on a dirt road. Does this work well on gravel roads?

Yes, it should be fine. My son even went on grass..:) The tires are like mountain bike tires. Not plastic..

I would think so. The rubber tires have great grip much better than the plastic wheels found on most hot wheel type tricycles. Hope this helps my grandson rides his through big piles of leaves and has no problem

It will work as well as any kid's trike could. It has air tires and fenders that will help and keep the gravel from flying up.

I used to live on a gravel road, so I understand. It should work ok, but not great. I don't think you'll find anything out there that will work better though. It definitely will be better than one of the tricycles with plastic tires!

With the active wheel 12" diameter, vs. 2" length of pedal arm, this bike has 50% torque compared with, Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Trike. This makes hard to pedal on the grass, up hills, and for long rides creates a lot of stress to the kid's legs, unless the surface is strong, flat and HORIZONTAL. Any time we go for a Ride, after 50 feet trip, my grand son stops, turns around, go back to the home, drops the (12" Schwinn Roadster Trike), picks up the (Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Trike, Red) and enjoy the ride. Why: because 12" Schwinn Roadster Trike creates too much stress on his legs.This nice bike is a bike For Show but not To Go.

It would work for a gravel/dirt road. For a 100% loose gravel road, it may slip and have trouble gripping.

Its made for pavement not for dirt. It goes 13 to 15 miles per hour for about 3 miles

It has been for my daughter. Its her first and works well on paved surfaces. The smoother the better but does work on rough pavement.

I wouldn't say rough terrain, but does fine on gravel driveway and low cut grass

I have taken the stroller on a gravel track and it wasn't the smoothest ride but works. Works well on uneven pavement like if you have to go over bumps or cracks in the pavement.

I would think so, but I don't ride gravel roads and not sure what loosely paved would be. I ride mainly blacktop and concrete road. I have rode on gravel and it did fine, but that is very little gravel.

Hard dirt roads yes. The front wheels are too small to navigate and push in soft dirt or sand. Love this product and are stopped by people all the time asking where we purchased it.

I watch my grandson drive it on grass, dirt and in shallow water and of course in the road when it's supervised.

I have used on gravel driveway. It works great just keep it up so your not picking up stone.But may be small for a driveway..

If you are talking about riding down the beach or gravel more than an inch or so it probably would not work, but a dirt road would not be a problem. Our son also rode it through 3" grass and it slows down but still works.

For my son (6 yr old) it works on pavement only or on the deck. Did not work on grass nor gravel.

I have ridden mine on pavement, gravel, and dirt, it has done well and held up. It does have a kick stand. My only complaint is it needs to be taken in and adjusted because it is super tight.

Yes. The only issue I have had with this is going over muddy ground. The way the wheel "axles" are constructed, mud can cake up on the wheels and stop the wheels from turning. On solid ground or non-muddy terrain, this thing is excellent and handy.

Not that great. I wouldn't take it on long walks in those conditions, but NO stroller does good in gravel :)

We ride ours outside up and down the driveway, and occasionally on the road. It can handle minor pebbles, cracks, bumps. I wouldn't go on a particularly rocky road, however, since the wheels aren't that big.

The wheels are designed to work well on smoother surfaces. Nicely paved sidewalks and paths are perfect. I can't imagine this working well on a dirt road.
