Why buy Street Scooters?
How do street scooters differ from park scooters?
Park scooters are lighter and narrower for aerial tricks; street scooters focus on strength and stability. They’re heavier due to thicker materials, but they withstand grinding and big drops better.
Are street scooters good for beginners?
They’re heavier and may feel cumbersome for new riders. Beginners often start with lighter scooters and progress to street setups as they develop the strength and skill needed for advanced tricks.
What compression systems are common?
SCS is preferred for street scooters because it provides the strongest connection and reduces bar slippage. Some riders use HIC, but it’s less common. IHC is rarely used for pure street builds.
Can I use a street scooter in skateparks?
Yes, but it’s heavier for spins and flips. If you ride both street and park, consider a hybrid setup or different scooters for each terrain.
How do I maintain a street scooter?
Check welds and dropouts for cracks, tighten SCS bolts evenly, rotate wheels, and replace bearings as they wear. Lubricate the headset and compression system periodically for smooth bar spins.
Can I customise a street scooter?
Yes. Many riders upgrade wheels to 115–120 mm, install stronger pegs or change bars and forks. Ensure parts are compatible with your deck’s width and compression type.
Why are street scooters more expensive?
They use more material and stronger construction to withstand impacts. High‑end street decks and bars undergo intensive testing, which increases manufacturing costs.
