Pro Scooters
Pro Scooter - Elevate Your Scootering Experience
Pro scooters, also known as trick scooters, are robust scooters specifically crafted for executing stunts and tricks. The pro scooter represents a modern adaptation of the traditional scooter. The concept of trick scooters emerged when enthusiasts began performing "freestyle" manoeuvres on scooters, prompting the need for a more resilient build to withstand the rigours of stunts.
Features of Pro Scooters
Though pro scooters resemble standard scooters, stunt scooters are typically non-foldable with a fixed height. This design ensures a sturdy and durable option for trick enthusiasts.
Desiring a scooter that is both sturdy and lightweight is common, but these attributes do not always coincide. Manufacturers are innovating with materials and unique constructions. Consequently, some scooter parts can be pricier than a complete scooter.
Manufacturers particularly concentrate on enhancing:
- Robust bottoms (decks) and necks
- Lighter yet stronger wheels
- Monolithic designs
- Reinforced bars
- Reinforced clamps
Higher-end pro scooters often utilise compression systems, such as SCS, ICS and HIC. While their constructions vary, all provide sturdier steering capabilities.
Standard versus Custom Trick Scooter
These trick scooters, all complete, utilise parts from a single manufacturer, ensuring compatibility and cost-effectiveness compared to purchasing components separately.
A wide range of standard trick scooters is available to meet the needs of both novices and seasoned riders. The price differences in stunt scooters usually reflect variations in parts quality.
Experienced riders often prefer a trick scooter with premium parts, opting for a custom pro scooter. This category includes both expert-assembled complete scooters and self-built options.
