Why Choose a Pro Scooter?
Pro scooters are the right choice if you’re looking for a durable scooter built to handle tricks and stunts. While they 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.
Choosing the Right Pro Scooter (The Quickest Guide Online)
Before you decide on a model, it’s important to know your needs based on height, skill level, and your preferred style of scooter riding. This way, you'll be sure to get a scooter that feels balanced and helps you to fulfill your potential.
Total scooter height
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. This measure is a great starting point when settling on a specific scooter height. Check out our scooter size guide for more info.
Skill level
Every scooter on our website has a recommended user skill level. This helps you find a model that's tailored to your current skill level.
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.
Other Specifications Worth Knowing
If you’re serious about choosing the right complete pro scooter, you can consider the following aspects.
Deck width
Choose a narrower deck if the rider has smaller feet. Narrow decks (up to 5.5") are easier to maneuver, making them great for beginners learning their first basic tricks. As you progress and focus on street riding, the most common choice is to opt for a wider, box-cut deck. On the other hand, if you’re more into technically advanced park riding, you’ll likely prefer a narrower, peg-cut deck. See our guide to scooter decks.
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. See our guide to scooter bars.
Wheel core material
The wheel core material is a good indicator of a scooter's quality. 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. See our guide to scooter wheels.
Headset type
A scooter with integrated headset bearing cups is recommended if you want the option to upgrade the headset later. 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. Experienced riders already know that an integrated headset is essential. See our guide to scooter headsets.
Compression system
The compression system of a scooter connects the bar, deck and 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. Check out our guide to scooter compression.
If these detailed considerations feel overwhelming, we recommend basing your choice on the scooter’s specified user skill level, which is determined by the quality of its components. And of course, higher-priced scooters tend to have better-quality parts.
Advantages of Buying a Complete Pro Scooter (Instead of Building a Custom One)
If you're getting your first pro scooter, a complete model offers far more bang for your buck than building one from individual parts. It's a cost-effective way to get a well-balanced setup that's ready to ride right after assembly. And one day when you need to tweak it to your preferences or replace worn-out parts, you'll have plenty of scooter parts to choose from.
Complete pro scooters aren’t just for beginners – there are high-end models designed for advanced riders too. These are built from some of the highest grade components on the market and offer an impressive price-to-performance ratio. So, if you're an experienced rider looking to replace most parts on your current setup, a high-quality complete scooter from our selection might be exactly what you need.
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 the video guide:
