Don't use the front brake in this situation since it will try to pull the front wheel to the side and you have now set yourself up for taking a tumble. How the brakes are used is also important and you never want to speed thru a thin layer of sand on the pavement, especially when in turns. The street tires can be run safely at around 23 pounds on all surfaces, while the knobbies will achieve better traction as pressure is lowered to a minimum of 5 pounds when riding in soft sand. The biggest difference in these bikes is found in how their maneuvering is changed by the type of tire (street or knobby) and by the amount of pressure in the tires. These tires signify there will be some differences in ride, especially when riding off-road, and more specifically when riding in soft sand or slippery sand that sets on top of a hard paved surface. Unless well indoctrinated beforehand, few would even notice that photos of the latest models are now showing street tires mounted on the standard Mini while the Step-Thru is once again adorned with knobbies. ![]() Steering on both bikes when riding on dry pavement is somewhat the same, but riding in sand and gravel can present a few challenges. If you are agile enough to swing a leg over the center bar, then mounting and dismounting will be just as easy on both bikes. It's the handling while off-road that riders should be most aware of, and since these bikes are the favorite of many RVrs, most of the camp grounds have scenic back roads nearby that are fun to explore. ![]() Although power and drive are equal, these are dual purpose bikes that are perfectly at home whether riding on dry pavement or travelling down a backwoods dirt road. Owning both models I have run them both through the course, on road and off, and have found some differences. ![]()
