Overview
Pro Scooters for Stunts and Tricks
The domain of pro scootering is all about creativity and daring tricks. These scooters, also referred to as stunt or trick scooters, are crafted to withstand intense use and tough performances. Although capable of handling transportation tasks, their primary function is to facilitate jumps and tricks.
Engaging in pro scootering is an action-packed sport offering limitless prospects for developing new tricks or exploring new skate locations. As this activity focuses on stunts and tricks, pro scooters are built to be robust and nimble.
Considerations when buying a complete pro scooter include:
- Bars: A opt for a strong, one-piece bar. Height-adjustable bars are not appropriate for stunts due to their lack of strength.
- Wheels: A durable metal core is crucial for tricks. Plastic cores won't withstand the stress of jumps and are only fit for ultimate beginners.
- Skill Level: At SkatePro, each scooter comes with a specified skill level, ranging from beginner to advanced. A beginner pro scooter facilitates learning, while an advanced model might demand more expertise to utilise optimally.
- Scooter Size: For pro scooters, the recommended bar height should fall between your hip and navel. Verify that the stated bar height aligns with the measurement from the ground to between your hip and navel.
As your skills advance, prioritising top-quality components becomes more crucial. Whether you are an experienced rider seeking precision or a novice eager to create your ideal ride, our custom scooter builder is a fantastic, enjoyable tool:
Pro scootering is open to everyone! No matter the age or skill level, we consistently offer a range of high-quality complete pro scooters to match your needs. Dive into the options now:
Kid Scooters – Ranging from Toddlers to Tweens
Scootering offers children of all ages endless hours of outdoor enjoyment. These scooters enhance activities, whether it's exploring the neighbourhood, riding up and down the driveway, visiting friends, or accompanying parents!
Initial scooter experiences can spark a lifelong scootering interest, fostering deep friendships. The freedom of rolling along on wheels is truly a vital bonding activity.
Three-Wheel Scooters for Toddlers
Three-wheeled scooters offer an ideal scootering intro for toddlers. The extra stability smooths the learning process, helping young kids get acquainted with having wheels beneath them. In essence, three-wheel scooters perfectly suit little ones new to steering and navigating around.
Available in a range of stunning hues, you'll certainly find one matching your child's favourite shade. Ensure their helmet is safely fastened, and watch them commence an adventure filled with laughter and joy!
Points to keep in mind when selecting a scooter for your child:
- Size: Numerous kid scooters have adjustable heights. Choose one where the handlebars don't extend above the child's chest height and avoid those sitting under the child's hips. An ideal scooter height for children is roughly at the navel.
- Durability: Stay within the suggested maximum rider weight for the intended scooter to ensure longer usability.
- Wheel Size: Larger wheels offer more stability and maintain speed better than smaller wheels. However, smaller wheels keep feet closer to the ground and are easier to quicken than larger wheels.
- Safety: A secure scootering area is vital. Opt for a flat, traffic-free area. Young children should always scoot under adult supervision with protective gear such as a helmet and protective pads.
- For Toddlers: Choose a three-wheel scooter to help develop the child's motor skills for scootering.
Whether you're searching for a scooter for a tiny tot or a tween, our selection has options for every age group:
Big Wheel Scooters for Commuting
Scooters aren't limited to tricks and entertainment – they also serve as fantastic transportation tools for adults! Big wheel scooters are perfect for short commutes or conveniently travelling in town with speed and ease. Unlike children's or trick scooters, they feature larger wheels, ensuring smooth rides over various surfaces and more efficient speed maintenance.
Foldable scooters are particularly favoured by commuters; easily folded for bus journeys or stored under office desks, they offer practical mobility solutions that are easily storable when not required.
Yet, big wheel scooters aren't solely about practicality or convenience. They transform routine travel into a pleasurable and lively experience.
If your kids are fanatics about scootering, it’s an excellent reason to get one for yourself as well. Sharing the joy of scootering and indulging in outdoor activities together fosters bonding and creates moments of joy.
Important aspects when buying a big wheel scooter include:
- Wheels: Big wheel scooters provide excellent transportation options. Once helpful momentum has built up, they travel further, offering more stability than scooters with smaller wheels; this stability is especially valuable in traffic.
- Foldable: Foldable scooters add versatility and convenience. Compact storage is easy in tight spaces, such as under a desk, in a vehicle, or beneath a train seat.
- Handlebar Height: Most big wheel scooters offer height adjustability, allowing a precise handlebar height fit. Typically, a waist-high handlebar is most comfortable.
- Safety: Always wear a helmet when using a scooter!

Trampoline Scooters – Perfect for Trampoline Trick Practice
Mixing scootering excitement with trampoline fun, trampoline scooters offer extended air time for practicing deck tricks or backflips. Once you master new tricks on a trampoline, you can apply those skills to a "real" pro scooter.
Additionally, trampoline scooters allow practice on flat surfaces. For those not yet confident with a wheeled scooter, this is a great way to build confidence and skills before transitioning to wheels.
Trampoline scooters feature soft foam decks, which are soft on trampolines. Rainy day? Not an issue! You can still perfect tail whips, bri flips, or fundamental bunny hops indoors with trampoline scooters' safe, soft decks.
Offering endless enjoyment, trampoline scooters also significantly enhance coordination, balance, and motor skills.
We offer a curated range of top-notch trampoline scooters, with the benefit of replaceable parts like the bars or headset to maintain its quality.
