Essential Pointers Before Purchasing a New Deck

Ensure your wheel width and diameter align with the deck
Don't forget to get griptape if the deck doesn’t come with it
Select a deck that matches your riding style
Choose the appropriate width and length according to your preferences

Checklist for Scooter Deck Compatibility

Wheel size: Verify the specifications to ensure they match your wheels diameter. If your wheel diameter exceeds the deck's maximum wheel size, they are incompatible.
Wheel hub width: Confirm that the deck is suitable for your wheel's hub width (stunt scooter wheel hubs are either 24 mm or 30 mm wide).

All contemporary stunt scooter decks are designed for integrated headset bearings. For an SCS setup, a headset spacer might be necessary to ensure the compression works with your new deck.

Street or Park: Which Scooter Deck Complements Your Style?

Street riders value durability above all. A street scooter deck is built to endure the challenges of street-riding stunts. Built to handle grinds on ledges and handrails, they are tough and wide enough to withstand impacts from leaping down large staircases. These decks generally measure between 5 and 7 inches wide.

Conversely, a park scooter deck excels in skateparks, typically being narrower. This reduced width facilitates quicker manoeuvres and faster rotations during aerial tricks.

Park scooter decks focus on agility for technical tricks, making them smaller and lighter
Street scooter decks focus on sturdiness, making them wider and heavier

Scooter Deck Width and Length Considerations

The size of your deck significantly influences your scooter's handling. A wider scooter deck provides increased balance and foot space, ideal for street riding. In contrast, a narrower deck is more lightweight, spins faster, and offers greater agility, making it perfect for park riding.

Park deck width: usually spans 4.5–5.25 inches wide
Street decks width: typically ranges from 5–7 inches wide
Shorter scooter decks: are optimal for swift whips and rotations
Longer scooter decks: offer more stability for manuals and landings

Understanding Scooter Deck Shapes: Box Cut vs Peg Cut

A box cut deck is characterised by straight, perpendicular edges, enhancing foot space and surfaces for grinding. This design is perfect for ledge tricks and advanced street riding, with its sharp corners offering precision when engaging obstacles.

A peg cut deck includes slanted cutouts near the dropouts, essential if you wish to attach pegs to your setup.

Scooter Deck Weight: Opting Between Lightweight and Heavy Decks

If you’re deliberating between a heavier or lighter scooter deck, consider these factors.

Lighter scooter decks facilitate faster spinning during tail whips and similar tricks
Heavier scooter decks provide greater stability and withstand harder impacts

Modern stunt scooter decks are constructed from aluminium, striking a perfect balance between strength and lightness.

Headtube Angle on Stunt Scooter Decks

The angle of the headtube influences your riding posture. Standard angles typically fall between 82 and 84 degrees.

A steeper angle ensures quicker steering response
A shallower angle provides increased stability when at speed.

Maintaining Your New Scooter Deck

With proper care, quality scooter decks can last for years. Some tips include:

Grease the bearing cups when installing the headset
Grease bolt threads during installation
To avoid corrosion, store your deck indoors when not in use and clean it periodically
When fitting parts, double-check to ensure correct installation - follow this guide for instructions
