How does the EZ Lite Cruiser work on gravel pathways?

Generally it works well unless the front tires are under inflated. Because the tire valve is at a bad angle they are very difficult to inflate unless you take the front wheels off.The front tinflatable tires are a serious design flaw. I had to order an extra ser sinceone of my tires arrive flat.

It works well if you do not try to go toofastbecause the whells will spin out. Themajor complaint I have about this chairis that the tires are very difficult to inflate because of the position of the valve. Once the front tires lose air performance on gravel declines and it becomes dangerous on slopes

A little slower but gets thru it. I have had my cruiser about a year & it meets every situation I have put it in

company will not respond to phone calls or e-mail 90% of the time, ordering spare parts is a joke.

The Standard Model doesn't perform very well on Gravel, especially when it is too loose, or too large, or the ground underneath it is not very firm. In all honesty, none of the light weight power wheelchairs with 8" rear wheels perform well on Gravel. That's because there is not enough weight to make good traction with the ground underneath. Check out the EZ Lite Cruiser Heavy Duty Model - it has LARGE 12" rear wheels that can handle gravel much better. The motors are also much more powerful (250 watt each, versus 180 watt on the Standard Model) and that can make driving over gravel easier.

Do the CrazyForts lights work with the EZ Forts system, or are the two incompatible?

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!

The wheels are hollow, but it seems to do alright over rough pavement and grass. Not sure what to expect over pebbles, but I doubt many others would do any better. We love our wagon!

This wagon will roll over gravel easily. I have found it very helpful in moving my son's equipment, etc. from the parking lot to the ballfield at his games.

Mine works very well in loose gravel, tires are wide enough. Unless it was loose drifting sand I believe it would work very well. Loose sand you need a camel.

Mine works OK on a gravel driveway. It is a little harder to push than on a paved surface, though. I like this little stroller, and it works for what we need it for. Hope this helps.

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.

My wife has used hers on gravel and in our yard. It will work in loose gravel but the harder packed it is the better. I guess it just depends on how rough the road is but I'll bet that if any walker will work, this one will.

Firstly, I love this machine. Bailed me out of many feet of both wet and light snow. Yes it propels itself as the rubber blade rotates and, in making contact with the concrete, pulls the machine forward. Good for blacktop and concrete, NOT for gravel as the height is not adjustable. It's meant to be propelled by the blade contacting the ground and gravel would chew the mechanism up and spit the rocks out. Hope it helps.

Good question. I've never tried them on gravel or dirt. Success most likely depends upon the type, size, and firmness of the gravel/dirt surface.

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.

You can, but it works better over pavement. My nephew is also concerned that using it on gravel scratched the rear tires, but this is what was expected and not a fault of the product in any way. It also works on grass, but its not ideal. To really get the most fun out of it, a parking lot or an empty street are the best possible places to use it.

I think it would best for hard surfaces. The tires are small and when we did take them on a trail, we lifted them over obstacles. Gravel roads should be fine as long as they are not to loose.

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

not sure, but our hustler mini z has 2 heavy weights in front...to compensate for the leaf collector in rear. the ez max works perfect for us. we used it again yesterday to change blades.

It works well on sidewalks, a bit of rough going on grass or gravel. Turning radius not the best. Terrific in stores. Gives you freedom to go much farther than with either a walker or crutches.
