Can you build me a custom scooter or skateboard?

We can advise (livechat is usually best for this) and guide you on what parts combine together to make great setups, however presently we don't offer a custom build service.

Firstly, there’s some great videos on youtube showing you how, 1 example we would recommend is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZKm7I4iw54 

Sadly we don’t in house cut the bars, because if cut, it invalidates the warranty of the product, meaning if they break or something goes wrong, we cannot cover you as they’ve been changed from their original manufactured design

Once the bars have been cut or altered in any way we will be unable to accept them as a return.

Great question! So we’ve produced this simple compatibility grip to help you :)
