Stunt scooters – Crafted for Tricks, Primed for Advancement
Explore stunt scooters for all ages, abilities, and disciplines among our range. We present stunt scooters for children and novices, in addition to more sophisticated models for those already executing tricks at skateparks or street locations.
Below is essential guidance for selecting a full stunt scooter.
Selecting the Ideal Stunt Scooter
Deciding on a stunt scooter requires careful consideration of both the total scooter height and the user's skill level. By focusing on these factors, you'll ensure that the scooter remains well-balanced across all features.
Height and Competence Level of Scooters
The term 'total scooter height' refers to the measurement from the ground to the top of the scooter bar. As a starting point, measure from the ground to your hips and add 5 centimetres.
All stunt scooters listed on our site provide a suggested skill level, allowing you to easily choose a model suited to the user's abilities.
If purchasing for a beginner or a youngster, there is no need to stress over the technicalities. Opting for a model aligned with the user's height and skill ensures simplicity and safety in your selection.
Deck Width
Scooter decks that are wide and rectangular, often referred to as box cut decks, are generally favoured for street riding. These robust, wider platforms are ideal for grinding, albeit heavier and less nimble.
Narrower decks with shaved sections at their front and rear ends are known as peg-cut, allowing for peg installation. Agile in nature, they are better suited to complex tricks within skateparks.
Bar Width
The width of the bar should approximately align with the rider's shoulder width. A bar that is excessively wide hampers the execution of bar spins and other tricks, while one too narrow reduces control.
Street scooters typically feature wider, T-shaped bars, contrasting with the slightly narrower Y-shaped bars found on park scooters.
Material of Wheel Core
The core of the wheel is indicative of the stunt scooter's quality. Typically, wheel cores are constructed from either nylon or aluminium, with aluminium being the more durable choice.
If you're already performing tricks or aim to progress – or if you're a heavier rider – it's advisable to avoid stunt scooters featuring nylon core wheels. Nylon cores cater to budget-conscious, beginner stunt scooters.
Type of Headset
Numerous entry-level scooters include non-integrated headsets, yet an integrated headset is preferable for novices intent on performing tricks and stunts – it offers greater longevity.
Compression System
This system links the bar with the deck and fork of the scooter. SCS, HIC, and IHC represent the most prevalent compression systems for stunt scooters. SCS is known for being the most robust, whereas HIC and IHC are lighter alternatives.
Why Opt for a Stunt Scooter?
Stunt scooters are the go-to choice if you need a robust scooter capable of withstanding tricks and stunts.
While stunt scooters can be used for travel and casual play, their primary advantage is their tough build designed to handle significant impacts.
Should durability trump convenient features – such as adjustable handlebar height or a folding mechanism – a stunt scooter is your ideal choice.
For a first beginner stunt scooter, acquiring a complete stunt scooter is more economical than assembling one from separate parts. You obtain a balanced and enduring scooter ready for progression.
Advanced riders can also find high-end, complete stunt scooters made with top-tier components. They provide a cost-effective solution to obtaining a complete stunt scooter assembled from quality parts.
Do Complete Stunt scooters Arrive Pre-assembled?
Both yes and no. Complete stunt scooters arrive partially assembled in a box. A few components need assembly before starting your ride.
