Buying Scooter Pegs

Note that not all pegs fit all scooters due to different designs and brands.
A good tip is to buy pegs, the deck, and the fork from the same brand. If in doubt or if there is no information about the peg you are buying, you can always contact the skate shop.

A useful guideline is:

The axle on which the peg is mounted should be longer than the deck's width. Use spacers to add distance if the peg is obstructed by the deck.

Peg Material

• Steel (chrome steel) is strong and ideal for street riding.
• Aluminum is lighter and suitable for park riding - but not as durable as steel.

Alternative Pegs

It is possible to purchase "one-piece pegs" where the axle and the peg are combined.
These are generally stronger than traditional pegs.

Wear and Usage

Pegs are replaceable. If you intend to grind curbs (stone or concrete, etc.), you need to wax and smooth the curb thoroughly. Also, replace your pegs before they deform to the point where they are difficult or impossible to detach.

Mounting

Decide whether you want to mount your pegs on the left or right side.
Since different scooter brands use different axle bolts, we recommend using the axle/bolt from your scooter when mounting new pegs, unless your pegs require otherwise. Often, you only need to unscrew the bolt head on your scooter when attaching pegs, then put the bolt head back through the peg and tighten it securely.
