Choosing a stunt scooter

Stunt scooters are a great option for older kids who are looking to wow their friends at the local skate park or on the school run.

Unlike standard kids scooters, stunt scooters should be chosen based on the height of your child and not their age. If the handlebar is too high, it could prevent the skater from completing tricks successfully. As a general rule of thumb, you should aim to get a scooter where the top of the handlebar reaches your child's waist.

We recommend stunt scooters for ages 8 and above due to the level of coordination and motor skills required

ABEC rating

One of the most essential aspects of a stunt scooter is its ABEC rating. ABEC stands for Annular Bearings Engineers Committee and a higher ABEC rating implies a smoother ride and better tolerance for jumps and precision movements.

Choosing the right stunt scooter

Another factor that determines what stunt scooter you should buy is your child's level of experience.

Beginner

For beginners, we recommend our X-Rated range. These entry-level scooters have all the basics a young skater needs and are also great value for money. 

Intermediate

For intermediate riders, we'd recommend a Mongoose scooter. These have a higher spec to compensate for a higher level of tricks and stunts, with reinforced steel forks and ABEC 7 bearings or more.

Pro

If your child's a regular intermediate-level rider or on their way to becoming a real pro, then we suggest our Invert range of stunt scooters. Our Invert models include elements that you'll find in professional-level stunt scooters and feature stylish designs that'll leave a lasting impression.
