Are 14" better at slow speed?

Just curious. Going around local downtown of my city, going slow on my Ninebot isn't always easy as I'm constantly trying to maintain balance.  Is a good 14" EUC easy to roll on slowly?

Since 14" wheel spins more, I assume there is higher centrifugal force keeping you up at slower speed, is this correct?

Well - I ride 14", 16" and 18" wheels and have no problem to "crawl" on any of them. My currently most used wheel is KS-16 which is pretty heavy for 16" wheel and its still good controllable at low speeds in pedestrian heavy areas.

I've only tried a NineBot One E+ (16") and an Orb Wheel X2 (14"), but found the heavier NineBot much more stable at lower speeds.
I regularly train just that when picking up my son from school, riding along with him walking at a snail's pace while holding his hand. This is bar none the thing that has taught me balancing the most.
