Would I ride this on the sidewalk or on the main road? We don't have bike lanes, but I live in an urban area.

People and laws frown upon riding on the sidewalk. I do get off my bike and walk it on the sidewalk to a place where I need to go or lock up the jetson.Riding on the main road is appropriate as long as its done on the side, out of the way of faster moving traffic.I have added handlebar mirrors to the left and right side, in order to compliment the mirrors that come with the Jetson.This allows me to have better peripheral vision while riding.

In my state, Michigan, I was told at DMV that because it has a motor, it can not be driven on a sidewalk even if the motor is not ingaged and you are pedling.

It depends your state and local laws. I imagine it is illegal in most areas to ride on the sidewalk. State laws vary on whether or not it needs registering, you need licensing, or if it is legal at all. The Bicycle Retailer trade web site has a good article about the legality of ebikes. The article essentially states that states have the right to regulate when they can be ridden, where they can be ridden, how they must be ridden, and who may ride them. The federal law only regulates manufacture and first sale.

I ride mine on the sidewalk, but where people are walking, I move to the road. It comes with very nice mirrors that give a broad view behind you.

Our sidewalks are pretty torn up, and it's held up for me, havent even had to fix any wheels on it. So you shouldnt have any problems at all :)

not super well, the wheels can slip a little bit, however, I simply put some grip tape that you can buy here on Amazon or at a local hardware store and it solved the problem. It works great outdoors on the sidewalks though without the tape

I use the bike lane no problem. The scooter is smaller than a bike and typically i only ride at 15mph which is bike speed.

I think it would be OK on a sidewalk. I don't think you need to have a perfectly flat surface for it to work.

Yes, it runs smooth on he street and in bicycle paths because the payement is smooth. However, the same isn't true for sidewalks. Most sidewalks are rough and uneven.

You can use it along the grass. Run the wheel portion on the grass. A little tougher but will work.

It is really smooth. It's awesome on wood floors and with the soft poly urathane tires it doesn't damage the floor. On sidewalks it's good and streets too. If the surface is level there are good times to be had but this is scary going downhill and uphill is impossible.

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

You can, but don't. Standing is not a good way to ride and doing it on a regular bike is easier. When I was road riding I seldom stood up except to rest my rear end. The seat is also too big you really need the narrow bike seat which way more comfortable. I got the bike to just keep my legs working not as a substitute for real riding.

You can defiantly peddle through grass but works best on pavement. It's not really for off road.

We mainly used ours outside. My granddaughter would ride it to the park. (She's outgrown it now.)

If the route is flat you're probably ok. I have the cruiser for riding around my neighborhood and hills are a little brutal with the single gear.

It will ride on flat concrete, but its a work out. Some little hills help for a better ride.

Pratik, this is NOT a racing bike, that's for sure and I don't think I would take it off road. Best weight I can give you--and this is based on my bathroom scale (bike+me-me)= approximately 25/26 lbs. I added a padded seat that added a 1/2 lb or so. I only ride for fun and exercise. Hope this helps.One thing of note. My kickstand recently broke . The warranty support people are amazing. A new one was here immediately.

The Joovy Tricycoo has been used on city sidewalks and on grass without any problems; however, not on bumpy roads. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question. My son was initially worried about the tires of the trike wearning down after use, but since it was purchased in June, 2013 and used VERY frequently, the tires are holding up nicely. The entire bike is well constructed and will endure the play of an active toddler. Perhaps you may wish to contact the manufacturer directly about the trike's endurance.

Hi Robert, I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We do not yet have a law on road traffic to use for this kind of vehicle, but for now use usually in bike lanes.Have a nice dayAttilio.
