I agree that the smoother the surface the better, but it will roll better than a skateboard or scooter because it has a BMX tire in the front. The rear wheels would be a problem only if the surface is soft. The front wheel is no different than a bike wheel. A dirt road would not be a significant problem other than in comparison to smoother surfaces. Again, the front wheel is no different than a bike and rolls over things that would be a big problem for a skateboard or scooter. Hope this helps.

I would say it's not suitable for loose gravel. Ideal for smooth concrete and tarmac surfaces.

No. rear wheels are skateboard wheels and truck. Pavement is what this is meant for.

I just use it on the road but have gone through rough rides where it was fine. I do check the tightness occasionally just to be sure.

Yes. I ride it down a gravel road and also inside an airplane hangar. It is best on a smooth surface.

It will work on a gravel/dirt road, but it does require a little extra pedaling. A small child, especially under age 5 would have difficulty. Secondly, the degree of incline will pose a challenge to children. They may have to physically push the kart up the incline. I have a special needs child who has been able to use/enjoy the kart on our gravel/dirt road.

I have not used it very much on gravel; mostly street running. I have taken it to the park and it works well on the dirt and grass. I would think it would be fine on a gravel road. It is difficult to turn though.

The tires that come with this bicycle will not work well on loose gravel, my wife loves her Schwinn, we ride on good roadways. I have a Diamondback bike with the same type tires and almost lost the bike on loose gravel.

You probable won't to go with something that has more traction. This bike seems more designed for paved roads.

I would not want to go far on gravel if it was laid down - the big tires can handle gravel no problem (like if you have it in the upright position) but if it is laying down, the wheels closer to the handle are smaller and don't navigate gravel as well.

I would not trust this to move dirt and rocks. They do make another plow that is a bit more expensive for that. Your local tractor dealer should have it or be able to order it.

i don't think you can ,the thing isn't far enough off the ground,you can't really go off road with this as it is very low and hits ever rock that's in the way

Grass should be OK but rocky driveways/gravel may be a problem as this scooter has no shock absorbers/springs. It goes better on smooth asphalt.

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

It's really made more for asphalt. It will go off road in short spurts. But you need to be gentle with it and ALWAYS check fastener tightness before riding and at least once a month in general.

I wouldn't use it for off-roading. The tires are too narrow for that use and the rear shifter is only a few inches above the bottom of the tire. It's reasonable on gravel, but watch out for loose patches or you could go flying (don't ride on a freshly grated road).

I would mostly use it on flat surfaces. I've tried to take it on rougher terrains and it shakes and rattles and is very bouncy. Doesn't do very well on dirt roads.

I would say no, it is not. My reason being that it has very large, narrow tires which glide wonderfully over pavement, but would probably not fare very well on sharp edged stones or gravel. I would suggest a more rugged "mountain" style bike with the wider tires and possibly a longer travel suspension.

If you intend to push it it does well on crushed gravel, packed dirt, even rock and mowed trails. With a 75 lb partially paralyzed dog in it uneven rocky trails, sand, mud and high grass meant I was pretty much guaranteed to get stuck at some point and have to unload the dog and help him walk until we got to better trail conditions.
