Steps to Put Together a Pro Scooter

Constructing your very own custom pro scooter is quite challenging. Numerous parts may not be compatible, and improper assembly can lead to damage. This guide offers tips and tricks for assembling your pro scooter.

Stunt scooter components vary in standards, so a universal manual for assembling custom scooters doesn't exist. It's recommended that most users utilize our Custom Scooter Builder tool to ensure compatibility of all parts.

Tips from SkatePro

Enlist adult assistance during the assembly process
Ensure you are using the correct tool
If inexperienced, budget at least 3 hours for assembly
Select parts from the same brand that are dimensionally compatible
Consider that lightweight parts tend to break more easily than regular ones
It is advised for dedicated riders to opt for a threadless headset paired with a compression system and a threadless fork
Verify contents and compatibility as soon as the package is received before starting assembly (you can return unassembled parts)
Before using the scooter, ensure all screws and nuts are tightened, and regularly maintain the scooter as directed in the manual. Defective parts should be replaced
Over time, slack in the headset is common. Even high-end headsets will eventually begin to make noise. Tightening the compression system often helps
Steer clear of water, sand, moist areas, and excessive failed tricks. ;)
