Complete Pro Scooters – Built for Tricks, Ready for Progress
Discover pro scooters for all levels, ages, and disciplines in our selection. We offer pro scooters for kids and beginners as well as more advanced models for those who are already throwing tricks at skateparks or street spots.
Below, you’ll find the essential info for choosing a complete pro scooter.
How to Choose the Right Pro Scooter
The total scooter height and skill level are the two most important factors when choosing a complete pro scooter. If you pick a model based on these two aspects, the scooter will be well-balanced in all other aspects.
Scooter Height and SKill Level
Total scooter height describes the distance from the ground to the top of the scooter bar. Measure the distance from the ground up to your hips and add 5 centimeters to get a good starting point.
Every pro scooter on our website has a recommended user skill level, ensuring that you can easily pick a model that's balanced to the user's skill level.
If you're getting a scooter for a beginner or a child, you do not have to worry about the technical details. The easiest and safest way to make the right choice is to find a model that matches the user's height and skill level.
Deck width
Wide, rectangular scooter decks, also known as box cut scooter decks, are usually preferred for street scooters. The wider platform are robust and great for grinding. However, they are heavier and bulkier, making them less agile.
Narrower scooter decks that have sections shaved off towards the front and rear ends are called peg-cut because they leave room to mount pegs. These are more agile and therefore they lend themselves more to technical tricks in skateparks.
Bar width
Bar width should roughly match the rider’s shoulder width. If the bar is too wide, it can make bar spins and other tricks harder to perform. If it’s too narrow, maintaining control becomes more difficult.
Wider, T-shaped bars are a trademark of street scooters, whereas slightly narrower, Y-shaped bars are associated with park scooters.
Wheel core material
The wheel core, is a good indicator of the scooter's quality. Scooter wheel cores are typically made of either nylon or aluminum, with aluminum being the most durable option.
If you're already doing tricks and looking to progress – or if you're a heavier rider – it's best to avoid scooters with nylon core wheels. Nylon wheel cores are for budget-friendly, beginner-friendly pro scooters.
Headset type
While many entry-level scooters come with non-integrated headsets, an integrated headset is a better choice for beginners planning to do tricks and stunts – it's a more durable, long-term investment.
Compression system
The compression system of a scooter connects the bar to the deck and the fork. SCS, HIC, and IHC are the most common compression systems for pro scooters. SCS is the most robust scooter compression system, while HIC and IHC are lighter than SCS.
Why Choose a Pro Scooter?
Pro scooters are the right choice if you’re looking for a durable scooter built to endure tricks and stunts.
While pro scooters are perfectly fine to use for transportation and casual play, their biggest advantage lies in their rugged design and ability to withstand hard impacts.
If you value durability over convenient features – like adjustable handlebar height or a folding mechanism – a pro scooter is the right choice for you.
If you're getting your first beginner pro scooter, a complete pro scooter is a far cheaper option than building one from individual parts. You will get a well-balanced and durable scooter that's ready for you to start progressing.
You can also get high-end complete pro scooters for advanced riders built from some of the highest grade components on the market. They are the cheapest way to get a complete pro scooter made up of solid parts.
Are Complete Pro Scooters Pre Assembled?
Yes and no. Complete pro scooters are shipped partially assembled in a box. You’ll need to put a few parts together before you’re ready to ride.
Be sure to follow the instruction manual included with your scooter, and watch this video guide:
