Overall great option. Designed and built for tricks. Not to sound biased in any way but the next scooter on the list is also a Fuzion Pro Scooters product. Another thing great about their line when it comes to the first two models the Z and Z is that they are relatively safe.
The Z complete scooter is very similar to the aforementioned Z but it has its differences too. First off the deck or riding platform on the Z is smaller, it measures in at 4. Handlebars are a place where to the two models differ quite a bit.
The bars on the Z do not have supports also known as gussets underneath the crossbar, this little bit of extra support doubles as styling. Otherwise, most of the same parts that come on the Z are also used on the Z Again these components like the metal core wheels and grips are among the elite in the scooter industry all on an entry level pro scooter.
A relatively newer brand Arcade is taking the stunt scooter scene by storm! What makes their scooters stand out is the unique less is more neck design and BOLD patterns and colors. As shown above in the Ultra Lava graphics package Arcade scooters standout in a good way. Beside this cool color scheme, there are 3 other great styles to choose from. No other trick scooter on our list has this man features at such a reasonable price.
The one upgrade that this scooter could use is larger wheels. From our first glance, it seems the Arcade PLUS pro scooter has mm wheels while the majority of the scooters in this buying guide feature at least mm wheels. If you have to have the fastest scooter maybe opt for another model but overall you can not go wrong with this selection. At the new 4 spot we have the Root Industries Type-R complete scooter.
When this complete was released it caught our attention but finally, once we saw it in person and laid hands on it, it was a no-brainer that it would replace the Lucky T-Fox scooter on the best-of list. The Type-R by Root features a wide 4. Root claims an incredible 6. Any young rider would be beyond excited to get this complete, tt has everything! The best feature is the deck and cool paint swirl graphics. When you see this stunt scooter up close and personal it just screams quality and attention to detail.
TFox Signature complete bears the name of probably the most famous scooter rider. Hollow core wheels and TFox graphics by shogo ota make this complete a must have for any Tanner Fox fan. Mostly probably driven by the hype surrounding the persona that this scooter represents the TFox complete scooter is a good solid option.
This scooter is basically a Lucky Prospect scooter with a little bit of Tanner Fox branding. The Prospect package is fairly well endowed, this scooter is built on a deck measuring 4. All in all this is the Lucky Prospect re-purposed to feature custom Tanner Fox arguably the most famous scooter personality artwork. If your son or daughter is Tanner Fox fans and tune in to his weekly videos buying them this scooter is a no brainer you will make their day!
The Prodigy pro scooter is on the wishlist of tons of kids. This Envy complete comes in a wide array of cool color options and treatments. It also features mm wheels. Choose the prodigy pro scooter for an advanced rider. Envy is really the king of the hill right now, everyone wants to be on their pro team and rider their parts. The way they gained all of this momentum is amazing but they do create stunning complete scooters and scooter parts.
The Prodigy complete scooter is basically a scooter riders dream, the decks measure 4. Diving more into product features the Envy Prodigy like most of the other scooters in this review has chromoly handlebars. Unlike some of the other scooters on the list their bars are tall for a complete scooter measuring in at Something new to the game with the series 6 complete is the swirled grips and the newly designed front and rear deck inserts basically plastic caps on the decks openings.
A nylon flex brake is included on the Prodigy to minimize any noise and rattles that ordinary flex brakes are known for. Buying this scooter for a gift is going to make just about any teenage kid jump for joy.
Our take on the Prodigy is that it is an incredible complete scooter option, comes in great colors and it durable built to withstand punishment. X-5 pro is the way to go! We held the Fuzion X-3 scooter off of this list because we wanted to keep the review to higher quality scooters. Really the only differences between the two model Fuzion X-3 and Fuzion Pro X-5 are the handlebars and the wheel designs. The X-5 is equipped with upgraded components that much higher priced scooters typically come with.
This is the very best beginners scooter for younger riders who may or may not seriously take to scooter riding. The later down the road if they show a real interest in riding scooters grab a nice upgrade like a Fuzion Z Getting into the specifics, the Fuzion Pro X-5 is a solid complete with good enough parts to last a few skatepark sessions without being destroyed. Other components include a smooth compression system, aluminum mm metal core wheels, double clamp,nylon flex brake no rattles like cheap scooter , threadless headset prevents loosening and promotes stability and sturdy V-style bars.
If you find one let us know! Lucky Covenant Complete is a wonderful scooter perfect for intermediate riders learning the ropes. The neo chrome finish is to die for. This scooter is designed and built to withstand the harshest riding conditions basically riders throwing giants tricks like flair combos over mega ramps. The deck on this scoot is a bit longer than the others covered in this guide but the width is right in the middle at 4.
Handlebars are oversized and measure 24 inches tall and 23 inches wide. Graphics are a focal point on the Covenant, Lucky hired a Japanese artist name Shogo Ota to create the premise and theme displayed on this scooter. The Covenant comes in 7 different colorways to appeal to the widest possible audience. If you are a Lucky fan this scooter is a good choice for anyone looking to ride parks or a mix of park with some street.
Mongoose has tons of experience in the bicycle and BMX segments and recently they jumped into the pro scooter wars. This overbuilt clunky style does have some advantages as the Rise expert is heavy duty and stands up to tons of abuse and wear. This scooter was designed for the younger rider just starting out, Mongoose themselves actually mentioned this scooter as a good option for riders ages 9 and up.
New kids into the sport are going to need equipment to help them learn and progress. Another downside to this complete pro scooter is the lack of creativity in colorways and graphics. While the Envy One does come in 6 different colors ways they are all accent colors. Great way to get an Envy branded product at a pretty low price. The Envy Colt is basically what the Envy One should be. If It were up to us, we would just like to see the Envy Colt and One combined into one scooter.
With the Colt you at least get decks in different colors three to be exact Teal, Red and Green. Buyers also get IHC compression system, mm aluminum core wheels and a one piece handlebar. All features delivered on the Fuzion Z and Z now you can see why we are big fans of the Fuzion products. The aluminum deck size is rather large on the Colt Complete coming in at 4. As mentioned earlier the one piece handle is featured on this complete which measures in at 23 inches tall by The COlt is a great complete pro scooter for intermediate riders but it should be the Envy One.
Why should the consumer have to pay a premium for features that are pretty standard in the scooter industry today! If this pro scooter was delivered at a lower price point and had more creative graphics it for sure will shoot up the rankings chart.
Need to take your scooter on the train or in a car? Folding scooters make ultra portability possible!
Aluminium scooters, for example, models by Oxelo and Micro, are particularly good for commuters because of their light weight that makes them easy to fold and transport.
Most cities allow you to carry your scooter in a bag or a closed folding scooter often in dimensions around 80 x x 40 cm if you keep it in a designated baggage or bicycle area. For example, in Milan, you can take your scooter on the metro all day for free. Can you ride a bike? If so, great—riding a large-wheeled scooter is even easier than riding a bike! No problem. You will learn how to keep your balance after the first few pushes.
Just step on the deck with one foot and push with the other. Scootering is easier than it looks. Scooters take the least effort when riding on flats or going downhill. If low-effort speed is your priority, look for a scooter with large wheels and inflatable tyres. Those models are faster and more stable than scooters with smaller wh. Scooters are agile. Their manoeuvrability means you can travel around the city easily.
You can jump off the. Not only does scootering help you exercise your muscles, it does so with less stress on your back and joints than running or riding a bicycle. When you ride your scooter, you exercise your whole body, including your arms, back and legs. But your body will soon adapt to the scooter. Scooters are equipped with front and rear V-brakes are more common, quite powerful and easy to change.
Scooters with disc brakes are more powerful and recommended for dog scootering and downhill. Disc brakes have the advantage of not getting muddy on rough terrain. Foot brake on the rear wheel. Ideal for children, the foot brake is not very powerful. Being a rear brake only, it avoids potential tumbles when braking, as the child is not tempted to apply the lacking front brake. The first kind is a foot brake, which presses on the rear wheel. The third is disc brakes.
These are the most powerful. We recommend them for for dog scootering and extreme riding that might include fast descents downhill. Looking for a scooter that handles better than the rest of the crowd? In fact, the first scooters had a very large front wheel and a smaller back wheel for this reason. Between Europe and North America, more European kick scooter brands feature models with suspension.
This may have to do with the higher likelihood of European cities having very old historical quarters that may have unpredictable sidewalk surfaces. The main purpose of suspension is to absorb the micro-shocks that come from rolling over rough surfaces at speed. Suspension is good for comfort, but performance and convenience suffers the scooter is bigger and heavier. So it is a personal choice.
If you always ride the same route and you know for a fact it is rough, go for the suspension. Inline-skaters and skateboarders have been riding tiny wheels on all kinds of rough surfaces for decades without complaining, so most people are happy without suspension. If suspension is important to you, there are also lighter weight alternatives to spring based suspension:.
With the exception of all-terrain scooters for off-road riding and freestyle 'pro-scooters' for stunts and tricks , most kick scooters in the market can be folded down. The vast majority of kick scooter folding mechanisms involves a hinge between the deck and the steering column that allow them to be folded together. The most common folding mechanism is probably the three-action folding mechanism see image below. It consists of a simple spring-loaded locking pin which can be shifted between two positions which fold or unfold the scooter.
To fold or unfold the kick scooter, the user 1 uncompresses the joint with the quick-release clamp, 2 lift the locking pin up from the notch and shift it into the other notch, and then 3 re-compresses the clamp.
Most of the kick scooters in existence use a variation of this mechanism. However, some brands have made the folding easier, often by removing steps 1 and 3 , resulting in a single-action mechanism. If you are using a kick scooter for the daily commute, it is more important for the kick scooter to be quick and easy to fold.
The single-action systems are recommended, because they typically allow you to fold or unfold a kick scooter in about one second.
If the kick scooter is intended for weekend or occasional leisure use, you probably only need to fold or unfold it to put it into a car boot, or when taking it in or out of storage. In such cases, it does not really matter which system it is. In terms of performance, the folding mechanism has little effect on the performance of a kick scooter. However, a low quality kick scooter generally suffers from more unnecessary looseness or 'play' in the folding mechanism compared to one with a high build quality.
This is usually a result of lower precision parts or poor quality control during assembly. The folding joint also tends to be the first place to break in a low quality kick scooter because of the stresses it is subjected to, as well as the moving parts in it.
Most kick scooters in the market do not have handbrakes installed. Most scooters are slowed or stopped by stepping down on the rear fender, which doubles as a friction brake on the rear wheel. The rear fender brake is a simple and effective system. Bicycle-style handbrakes are nice to have, but are generally considered non-essential on kick scooters. It takes only a very short time to get accustomed to using the standard rear fender friction brake.
Insist on it only if you really face difficulty using the fender brake. Technical specifications aside, the overall quality of a kick scooter has a big impact on all the performance and ride quality of a kick scooter.
Because well-known brands have a reputation to keep, so they tend to ensure their kick scooters are well-made and durable. Unbranded kick scooters or shopping mall sports department house brands tend to attract using low prices and so quality is not a priority. For an enjoyable leisure ride in the weekend, or if you need to use the scooter on a daily basis, be prepared to spend a little bit more for the ride quality and durabilty.
What kind of scooter is best for you depends on the context of your use. Among the 3 key purchase consideration of convenience , performance and comfort , it is most likely you can satisfy only two and have to compromise on one. So you have to decide what is most important to you. If convenience is the priority - for example, if you use the kick scooter for the daily commute - favour light-weight and portable kick scooters with high build-quality and small wheels. This is particularly important if your riding journey is short and if you have to carry the scooter onto public transportation.
