Whether you ride a freestyle, electric or classic scooter, it's essential to protect yourself to fully enjoy your rides or skate sessions. Here’s a simple and practical guide to help you choose the best protection gear suited to your needs.
The bigger the wheels, the faster you go—but you lose a bit of maneuverability. On the other hand, smaller wheels keep you closer to the ground and make your setup lighter.
For a stunt scooter handlebar, you can choose between three different materials. The main differences are weight and strength. Your riding style and skill level should also be considered to pick the handlebar that best fits your needs.
If you're on the lighter side and not very tall, go for a lightweight scooter (between 2.8 and 3.5 kg). It'll be easier to handle and help you progress faster. On the other hand, if you're heavier, you'll need a more solid model — over 3.5 kg — to absorb impacts better.
