Enhance Your Stunt Scooter with Top-Quality Wheels

Explore this page to uncover your new stunt scooter wheels. Here, you'll find various widths, sizes, and an extensive array of designs, allowing you to select the pair that matches your scooter seamlessly.

New wheels significantly affect how your scooter performs. They alter the scooter's feel, ride quality, and responsiveness. Selecting the proper wheels will make your scooter feel nearly as good as new. Before purchasing, verify that the wheels are compatible with your setup. Below, we provide straightforward answers to frequently asked questions about stunt scooter wheels.

Ensuring Compatibility with Stunt scooter wheels

Two key measurements decide whether a stunt scooter wheel will suit your setup: the diameter and the core width. The typical dimensions for these wheels are a diameter of 110 mm and a core width of 24 mm.

Wheel Diameter

Should the wheels have a larger diameter than what your deck and fork are designed to accommodate, they will not fit. Adequate clearance is necessary for wheel movement. If the wheel diameter is less than the maximum diameter of the fork and deck, you should face no obstacles.

⇒ Ensure your fork and deck can accommodate the diameter of your selected wheels.

Wheel Width

The core width must not surpass the maximum width that your fork and deck can manage. If opting for a narrower wheel, spacers can be used to fill any voids.

⇒ Ensure your fork and deck can accommodate the width of your selected wheels.

12STD Wheels

12STD wheels necessitate a 12STD-compatible fork and deck. This system employs a 12 mm axle and 6001 bearings, as opposed to standard scooter wheels which use 608 bearings and 8 mm axle openings.

⇒ Select 12STD wheels only if utilising a 12STD fork and deck.

Essential Features of Stunt scooter wheels (and Their Impact on Your Ride)

When picking new stunt scooter wheels, consider some technical details as they considerably impact how your scooter mirrors your motions.

Wheel Diameter

Larger wheels deliver more speed and stability
Smaller wheels provide agility and a lighter feel

Wheel Width

Wider wheels increase grip
Narrower wheels offer higher speeds but less grip

Wheel Profile

Flat profiles enhance grip and stability
Narrow profiles enable greater speed and manoeuvrability
Round profiles balance between flat and narrow

Core Material

Aluminium cores provide sturdiness, ideal for performing tricks
Nylon cores are lighter, suitable for beginners and children (not appropriate for tricks)

Core Design

Solid core – Offers maximum durability but is the heaviest option
Hollow core – Strong and lighter compared to solid cores
Spoked core – Strong and lightweight
Perforated core – Strikes a balance between weight and performance

If durability is a priority, opt for a solid core. Aesthetic preference largely dictates the choice between these core designs.

Wheel Hardness

Softer urethane offers better surface grip but wears faster

The typical hardness range on the durometer scale is 84A - 90A.

When Should You Replace Your Stunt scooter wheels?

Worn wheels can impede performance. If you suspect it's time for an upgrade, watch for these indicators:

Cracks in the rubber
Flat spots present
Core damage visible

These signs clearly suggest it's time for replacement. Upgrading will enhance your scooter's overall feel.

For frequent riders, wheel replacements may be necessary every few months, whereas occasional users may experience longer-lasting wheels.

Is it Necessary to Replace Both Scooter Wheels at Once?

Replacing both wheels simultaneously ensures balanced front and rear performance, maintaining consistent ride quality.

Replace both wheels if:

Both are worn or show flat spots
Consistent front-to-rear performance is desired
Transitioning to a different type or hardness of wheel

Replace a single wheel if:

Damage is noticeable in only one wheel
You're choosing the same type of wheel
