A three wheeled scooter is lighter and easier to maneuver. Three wheeled scooters steer with handlebars and have a lever on either side of the handlebars to move forward or backward. You just release the lever to stop. Most scooters are typically used for indoor or outdoor activities and for travel. They handle better on even surfaces, most have adjustable handlebars and have about a 32-inch turning radius.
