Scooters are something you would consider as the result of combining a bicycle and a skateboard: a deck you stand on while you push yourself forward using your feet, but with handlebars for steering yourself as you go. This design offers benefits for all users when compared to the other two, particularly in terms of safety and control.
This trick scooter is a great first choice to get started; it boasts a 4-inch wide aluminum deck, a small number of parts, and great durability, for a comfortable budget, lending it to be a dependable scooter on all circumstances.
However, the lack of adjustable handlebars will likely limit your ability to execute more complex maneuvers more comfortably, so those with better experience or those that demand more from their scooter will find themselves constrained.
This scooter also uses a lightweight aluminum deck, and enjoys good grip on the deck and the wheels, a great braking system, and the handlebar grips are comfortable and sturdy. But perhaps the best aspect is its cost; it is one of the cheapest pro scooters in the market, without compromising on quality. Mongoose is known for durability at a low price.
You will inevitably fall many times when you are getting started, so you will need a companion that can take the abuse alongside you, and if you are looking for the trick scooter to stay with you despite the scratching, bruising and aching, none other than the Mongoose will see you to the end.
This one is an all-rounder, a great combination of its parts, from the deck to the bars, the wheels, even the bearings, are all of very high quality, the end result letting you perform any kind of scooter tricks without problem – the only limit is your own ability.
An adjustable handlebar for taller riders, larger wheels made of urethane for better stability, and aircraft-grade aluminum build for excellent durability, all contribute to a fantastic all-around package. An extra feature is its storage capabilities. When you are done riding, you can either use the kickstand or fold it for easy carrying or storing.
VOKUL’s offering is made for all ages, be it older kids, to adults, newbies learning or experts honing their style. This platform comes pre-assembled (just tighten up the clamp), and offers a lightweight scooter apt for those transitioning from scooter riding into tricks proper, able to maneuver with ease as the user becomes more confident.
The polyutherane wheels will resist the wear and tear from constant practice, jumping, landing and falling, and the ABEC-9 bearings will offer a comfortable speed for beginners, while retaining higher speeds for those more experienced. This translates into a well-rounded package that shows no weaknesses despite its beginner-friendly strengths.
Tested by some of the best riders around, this trick scooter is a proven design and one of the best for those who will push themselves to the limit. The standard chromoly steel scooter comes almost fully assembled, with only the handlebars needing to be installed.
With polyutherane wheels and ABEC-11 bearings, you will reach amazing speeds, and you will have enough flexibility to perform advanced tricks while maintaining reliability and grip. The speeds you can achieve with the Type R mean this is not one for overconfident rookies, so be sure you have got the basics mastered, and this freestyle scooter will not fail you.
