Overview
Stunt Scooters for Tricks and Stunts
Creative expression and audacious tricks are the focus in the realm of professional scootering. Known as trick scooters or stunt scooters, they are crafted to handle intensive tricks and challenging feats. While they can serve for commuting, their ultimate purpose is in tricks and air manoeuvres.
Professional scootering is an adrenaline sport that provides endless possibilities for crafting new tricks or exploring skate spots. As the sport thrives on tricks and stunts, professional scooters are constructed to be robust and nimble.
Factors to consider when purchasing a complete stunt scooter:
- Bars: Select a solid one-piece bar. Bars that adjust in height are not strong enough for stunts.
- Wheels: A metal core is crucial for performing tricks. Plastic cores tend to break under the pressure of jumps and are only advisable for absolute beginners.
- Skill Level: At SkatePro, we categorise skill levels – ranging from beginner to advanced. A beginner stunt scooter is simpler to learn on, whereas an advanced one might demand more technical prowess to exploit fully.
- Scooter Size: For professional scooters, the key guide is to choose a bar height that reaches between your hip and navel. Check that the stated bar height aligns with the ground-to-hip/navel distance.
As you enhance your skills as a scooter enthusiast, the value of premium parts grows. Whether you are an expert aiming for precision or a novice keen to build your dream ride, our custom scooter builder is thoroughly enjoyable and practical:
Stunt scootering is inclusive for all! Regardless of age or proficiency, we always maintain a range of premium complete stunt scooters for your requirements. Delve into the opportunities today:
Children’s Scooters – From Toddlers to Tweens
Scootering promises endless hours of outdoor entertainment for children of various ages. Whether meandering around the neighbourhood, traversing the driveway, visiting friends, or scootering alongside parents – children's scooters inject excitement into every activity!
Early scootering experiences can pave the way for a lifelong enthusiasm for scootering and nurture lasting friendships. The liberty of moving on wheels is an unparalleled bonding experience.
Three-Wheeled Scooters for Toddlers
Three-wheeled scooters serve as a perfect scootering initiation for toddlers. With enhanced stability from the additional wheel, the learning curve is smoother, helping children become accustomed to moving on wheels. In summary, three-wheel scooters are fitting for young ones who are still mastering steering and mobility.
Available in a variety of charming colour schemes, you’ll undoubtedly find one in your child’s preferred colour. Just fasten their helmet securely, and watch their journey filled with laughter and joy!
Considerations when purchasing a scooter for your child:
- Size: Many children’s scooters have adjustable heights. Select a model where the handlebars don't extend so tall that the child must stretch above their chest, and avoid those where the bars fall below the child's hips. The optimal scooter height stands somewhere around the navel.
- Durability: Adhere to our maximum rider weight advice for the scooter you consider purchasing. Complying with the weight limits enhances the scooter's longevity.
- Wheel Size: Larger wheels offer greater stability when riding and preserve speed better than smaller wheels. Conversely, smaller wheels keep feet closer to the ground and enable quicker acceleration than larger wheels.
- Safety: Ensure a safe area where children can freely ride. Locations with flat surfaces and no traffic are optimal. Young children should be supervised by an adult and strictly use scooter protective kit like a helmet and protection pads.
- For Toddlers: Choose a three-wheeled scooter to develop the child's scootering motor skills.
Whether seeking a scooter for a small tot or a tween, our selection caters to all:
Big Wheel Scooters for Commuting
Scooters aren't solely for tricks and enjoyment – they serve as an outstanding transport mode for adults too! Big wheel scooters are excellent for brief commutes or easily getting around town with speed. Featuring larger wheels than children’s or stunt scooters, they glide seamlessly across multiple surfaces and maintain speed more efficiently than smaller-wheeled scooters.
Foldable scooters are especially convenient for commuters, enabling easy folding for bus journeys or compactly fitting beneath a desk at work. A handy set of wheels ensures swift mobility and can be conveniently stored when not in use.
However, big wheel scooters offer more than just practicality and convenience! They transform mundane travelling into exciting activities.
If your kids savour scootering, owning one for yourself provides opportunities to experience scootering fun alongside them, strengthening bonds and enjoying great times together.
Factors to weigh when selecting a big wheel scooter:
- Wheels: Big wheel scooters excel in transportation. Once they accumulate speed, they maintain it for greater distances and feel more stable than smaller-wheeled scooters; particularly advantageous when navigating traffic.
- Foldable: A foldable scooter offers adaptability and convenience, easily fitting into compact spaces during non-use, be it under an office desk, in a vehicle boot, or beneath a train seat.
- Handlebar Height: Many big wheel scooters allow handlebar height adjustment, granting customised comfort. Ideally, handlebars reaching your waist area offer optimal comfort.
- Safety: Always adorn a helmet while scootering!
Are you considering a foldable scooter or one with a kickstand, or perhaps pneumatic tyres?
Trampoline Scooters – Perfect Tricks on Trampolines
A trampoline scooter combines the thrill of scootering with trampoline bouncing joy. Offering extended airtime, trampoline scooters are perfect for practising tricks or backflips. Mastering tricks on a trampoline equips you to eventually transfer those skills to a “real” stunt scooter.
Practising tricks on stable ground presents another perk of using a trampoline scooter. For those not yet accustomed to wheeled scooters, trampoline scooters provide a safer way to gain confidence and improve techniques before advancing to wheels.
Featuring soft foam decks harmless to trampolines, trampoline scooters allow for rain or shine practice, ensuring you can enjoy tail whips, bri flips, or straightforward bunny hops indoors with their gentle, safe decks.
Trampoline scooters not only deliver endless entertainment but also serve as fantastic tools to enhance coordination, balance, and motor skills.
We stock a premium selection of trampoline scooters, and additionally, parts like the headset or bars are replaceable to maintain your trampoline scooter in prime condition.
