Scooter Pegs

Aluminium pegs are lightweight and good for park riding, but may wear quicker. Steel pegs are heavier yet durable for street grinds. Nylon or composite pegs slide smoothly on rails and reduce noise but may not last as long.

Remove the axle bolt from your wheel, slide the peg over the axle, then insert a longer bolt through the wheel and into the fork or deck. Always use the correct bolt length to ensure secure installation.

It depends on your riding style. Street riders often install two pegs on one side or four pegs to grind and stall from both sides. Park riders may use only rear pegs for specific tricks.

Shorter pegs (around 40 mm) reduce weight and avoid catching on obstacles, while longer pegs (up to 60 mm) offer more surface area for grinds. Beginners can start with standard-length pegs and experiment as skills progress.

If installed incorrectly or used excessively on rough surfaces, pegs may stress the fork or deck. Choose pegs designed for your scooter’s axle type and avoid overtightening bolts.

Some pegs come with spacers or adapters. These ensure the peg sits flush against the deck or fork, preventing wobble. Check the product description to see if adapters are included or sold separately.

Extra weight and length can affect tailwhip speed, especially for beginners. Practice to adjust your technique. If tailwhips are a priority, consider shorter, lightweight aluminium pegs.

Inspect pegs for cracks or wear, and replace them if they grind through. Keep bolts tight and avoid hitting obstacles at extreme angles, which can bend or snap pegs.
