Your Stunt Scooter Advice – All Answers & Best Choices
Advice: How to choose the perfect stunt scooter!
Do you want the best stunt scooter for your riding style, level and wishes? Here we help you make the right choice!
What height stunt scooter do I need?
The correct handlebar height depends on how you use your stunt scooter:
- Especially riding around - Handlebar height around navel height , higher is also allowed as long as the handlebars are not in front of your face.
- Especially stunts on the skate park - Measure from the ground to your wrist for optimal jump control.
- Combination of both - Choose a height between navel and wrist for the best balance.
Which wheel size is suitable?
There are three standard wheel sizes for stunt scooters:
- 100mm : Small, manoeuvrable and ideal for beginners.
- 110mm : The most popular size, perfect for tricks.
- 120 mm : More speed and comfort, but takes longer to get up to speed.
Tip: Larger wheels vibrate less and roll longer, but accelerate more slowly.
Compression System – What is it and why is it important?
The compression system determines how strong and flexible your stunt scooter is.
- Threaded - Budget option, suitable for beginners, vibrates loose more easily.
- IHC/HIC - Less maintenance, smooth running.
- SCS - Extremely strong, perfect for professional riders.
Tip: Do you often skate on a skatepark? Then IHC, HIC or SCS is a better choice than Threaded!
Which parts make the difference?
A stunt scooter consists of several parts that influence its performance:
- Deck - A short deck is maneuverable and ideal for fast tricks, while a long deck offers more stability and is less likely to spin during jumps.
- Handlebars - An aluminum handlebar is lighter than steel and makes tricks easier.
- Wheels - Metal core is more durable, plastic core is a budget option and may make noise.
