Does this trike go well on hard sand at the beach? Thank you.

I suggest riding a mountain bike first. The front wheel is a mountain bike wheel and the back wheels would be easy to go over sand. My only concern is the front tire.

Yes. I've been using mine in sand for a year now. No issues. It look a little bit of adjusting during setup but has performed excellent since day one.

It does better on pavement but it handles ok on gravel too. The road in front of my house is gravel so I have to ride down it to get to pavement and I have never had a problem.

I do not know about the beach. I only use my on solid surfaces. I am not sure if the wheels are big enough for beach sand.

The tires have good traction, so it pedals uphill and downhill well, but it is a tough work-out on little legs. I also would keep it on even terrain; tricycles have a weird center of gravity that I don't fully understand. But, if they turn the trike too fast, try and cut a corner too close, the inside wheel loses surface contact. If they are riding over uneven surfaces, I think it would make it unsteady/unstable. We keep ours on the sidewalks, and inside the house.

It handles good. It rolls slower the softer the sand is, and much easier on harder sand and gravel. It has good balance. I put two waterproof boat cushions in the bottom and pull my daughter all over in it. She loves it and so do I!

I'm not sure. Sand could probably get caught between the wheels. I have never brought it to the beach before.

Its hard on the motor because of the wheels spinning u need special wheels and its rough on bearings but it will do it w sand tires

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.

For a beach, I can't say. However, I have gone through sand and it works just fine. I would think it would handle it okay?

really well.You should take the front wheel off(pull the pin, out it goes). I used this thing on the pier,sand and concrete surface loaded with everything no problems, well worth the money. hope this helped.

My daughter said she has not had it on sand but has taken it thru grass and it's just ok on grass. A little unsteady. She said she couldn't imagine it would be do well in sand/beach. But, as I said, she has not actually tried using it on sand.

This was my main concern. As with any tire they can go flat. I've walked over 4 blocks a day to the beach for about two weeks with the cart and must say that the tires hold up great. The asphalt that I'm pushing on is old and very rough. I've had no problem with the cart or the tires...wish I would have bought it sooner. I think as long as you not constantly rolling over sharp objects you'll be fine. The tires also cine with a small repair kit.

We haven't tried it on the beach, only on paved/hard packed surfaces. I think you would need bigger, softer tires for the beach, depending on how much weight you were planning to put in it... :)

Haven't used it on a beach, but it is very light and the tires are wide, so it would probably work well unless you filled it with bricks.

Yes, it is very rugged and can handle the beach with ease. I love mine. Dan

In the dirt with the Traxxas stock tires, the truck works great! It gives you just enough slip to slide around and have fun while maintaining control.As far as the sand, I bought sand paddle tires to drive on the beach. They really worked wonders. The treads on the stock tires don't have deep enough treads for traction. As a precaution, if you happen to drive on the beach, make sure you take care of your motor or it will burn out.
