Overview
Pro Scooters for Tricks and Stunts
Creativity and daring tricks hold the spotlight in the pro scootering universe. Commonly known as trick scooters or stunt scooters, they are crafted to withstand intensive tricks and challenging performances. While suitable for transport, their true strength shines in tricks and jumps.
Pro scootering is an action sport offering endless possibilities for creating new tricks or experimenting with different skate spots. Because it focuses on tricks and stunts, pro scooters are designed to be both robust and nimble.
Factors to think about when purchasing a complete pro scooter:
- Bars: Select a durable one-piece bar. Adjustable height bars are not resilient enough for stunts.
- Wheels: A robust metal core is crucial for executing tricks. Plastic cores can break under the stress of jumps and are only fitting for complete novices.
- Skill Level: At SkatePro, we categorize skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced. A beginner pro scooter is more manageable for learning, whereas an advanced pro scooter might demand more technical ability to maximize its potential.
- Scooter Size: For pro scooters, a general recommendation is that the bar height should reach between your hip and navel. Confirm that the described bar height aligns with that distance from the ground to between your hip and navel.
As you advance as a rider, the value of high-quality parts becomes more apparent. Whether you’re an experienced rider pursuing precision or a newbie excited to build your perfect ride, our custom scooter builder is an especially entertaining and handy tool:
Pro scootering is accessible for everyone! Regardless of your age or skill set, we always have a selection of top-notch complete pro scooters to fulfill your requirements. Start exploring your options today:
Scooters for Kids – Suitable for Toddlers to Tweens
Scootering offers limitless outdoor fun for children of all ages. Whether roaming the neighbourhood, going up and down the driveway, meeting friends, or joining parents on a ride – kids’ scooters add joy to every outing!
Early scootering experiences can spark a lifetime passion for scootering and nurture lifelong friendships. The liberation of moving on wheels is something truly worth sharing.
Three-Wheeled Scooters for Toddlers
Three-wheeled scooters serve as the perfect introduction to scootering for little ones. These scooters provide the extra stability needed, easing the learning curve and helping children get used to having wheels under their feet. To sum up, 3 wheel scooters are ideal for young kids learning to steer and move around.
They come in various gorgeous colours, so you’re bound to find one in your child’s preferred shade. Just make sure their helmet is securely fastened, and watch them embark on a journey filled with endless laughter!
What to bear in mind when selecting a scooter for your child:
- Size: Numerous kids’ scooters allow for height adjustments. Ensure the handlebars are not so elevated that the child must stretch above their chest height, and avoid bars that are below the hips. The most comfortable height for kids is around the navel.
- Durability: Adhere to our recommended maximum rider weight for the scooter. Sticking to the specified weight limit will extend the lifespan of the scooter.
- Wheel Size: Larger wheels offer stability and maintain speed more effectively than smaller ones. Smaller wheels, on the other hand, keep feet closer to the ground, making acceleration easier.
- Safety: Ensure there is a safe space for kids to enjoy scootering freely, ideally a flat, traffic-free area. Small children must always be supervised by an adult and wear the necessary protective gear like a helmet and protection pads.
- For Toddlers: Select a three-wheel scooter that aids children in developing scootering motor skills.
No matter if you’re searching for a scooter for a tiny tot or a tween, our collection caters to everyone:
Big Wheel Scooters for Efficient Transportation
Scooters aren’t limited to stunts and enjoyment – adults find them an effective means of commuting too! Big wheel scooters make the perfect choice for short commutes or easy navigation around town with both speed and style. Their larger wheels allow them to glide smoothly over diverse surfaces and sustain speed better than those with smaller wheels.
Foldable scooters are particularly convenient for commuters, as they can be swiftly folded for transport on buses or tucked neatly under your work desk. Having a dependable set of wheels for swift mobility that can be discreetly stored away is incredibly advantageous.
But there’s more to big wheel scooters than mere convenience! They offer an exciting and enjoyable way to turn routine commutes into thrilling adventures.
If your kids are scooter enthusiasts, you have an excellent reason to get one too. Sharing the joy of scootering and engaging in outdoor fun together is a fantastic bonding experience.
Considerations when picking out a big wheel scooter:
- Wheels: Big wheel scooters are superb for travel. They maintain momentum over longer distances and provide stability, especially beneficial in traffic situations.
- Foldable: A foldable scooter delivers versatility and convenience as it can be stored in tight spaces when not in use, whether it’s under a desk, in a vehicle, or beneath a train seat.
- Handlebar Height: Many big wheel scooters are adjustable in height, allowing the perfect fit. Handlebar height reaching your waist is typically the most comfortable option.
- Safety: Always make it a point to wear a helmet while riding a scooter!
Are you dreaming of a foldable scooter, one with a kickstand, or perhaps one with pneumatic tires?
Trampoline Scooters – Master Tricks on Trampolines
A trampoline scooter merges the thrill of scootering with the joy of bouncing on a trampoline. With this combo, you can enjoy prolonged airtime to refine tricks or practice backflips. Once you've got new tricks down on the trampoline, transitioning those skills to a “real” pro scooter becomes easier.
Another perk of a trampoline scooter is practicing tricks on flat surfaces. If you’re uneasy with a wheeled scooter, a trampoline scooter allows you to build confidence and expertise before moving to wheels.
Featuring soft foam decks that are gentle on trampolines, trampoline scooters can be used indoors on rainy days to practice tail whips, bri flips, or basic bunny hops safely.
Along with providing endless fun, they enhance coordination, balance, and motor skills.
Discover our range of top trampoline scooters, and the advantage of replacing parts like the headset or bars to keep your trampoline scooter performing at its best.
