Need some advice about replacing Std 14inch wheel with a Mota Lita 15 inch. Is it a good or bad idea?

Yep you'll turn easily at low speed or in city but you'll get less space for the legs ...

I've got a more mixed view:

FOR:
Probably a bit easier at low speeds but again, if you go for a 'thin rim' as opposed to a thicker one, this can mean that despite the bigger diameter the steering doesn't actually feel any different

AGAINST:
Decreased room between wheel and thighs
There is also the issue of how it looks; eg do you want a wood rim, leather or 'bluemels' type finish.
Have you 'widened the search a bit' and considered an offset spoke wheel?

Can I just add that having lubricated my rack it has transformed the feel. It's much lighter. But it's a tricky job with limited access.

I would go for a std leather rim, seems to be plenty of space as its a 4 seater? Does that make sense?

I have an offset Mota Lita 15 inch wheel.
It ives good leg clearance but also allows you the leverage at low speeds.

Hmmm... I just browsed the Motolita website, but could not locate any information on the above mentioned "offset" wheels...
... any pointers?

Ah! the swift and convoluted departure from Newtown post- purchase but pre the ferry!

Not this one G -- I had an offset one from Steve on the previous car -- I opted for one of Steve's new spoked ones for Tafie - That and the door pockets led to the departure you mention!!

Cheers!
