Essential Features When Choosing Stunt Scooter Wheels
Consider some technical aspects when selecting new stunt scooter wheels. Each factor influences your scooter's response to movements.
Wheel Diameter
- Larger wheels provide greater speed and stability
- Smaller wheels offer a lighter, more agile feel
- Common sizes are 100 mm, 110 mm, 115 mm, and 120 mm
Wheel Width
- Wider wheels ensure better grip
- Narrower wheels are faster but offer less grip
Wheel Profile
- Flat wheel profiles offer enhanced grip and stability
- Narrow profiles are more agile and faster
- Round profiles provide a balance between flat and narrow
Core Material
- Aluminium cores are robust, ideal for tricks
- Nylon cores are lighter and suitable for beginners and children (not ideal for tricks)
Core Design
- Solid core - Most durable but also heaviest
- Hollow core - Strong and lighter than solid cores
- Spoked core - Strong and lightweight
- Perforated core - Balances low weight and performance
If durability is your top priority, opt for a solid core. Beyond that, the choice largely comes down to aesthetics.
Wheel Hardness

- Softer urethane provides better grip but wears down more quickly
The usual hardness range is 84A - 90A on the durometer scale.
Signs It's Time for New Stunt Scooter Wheels
Worn wheels can impact your performance. If you're unsure whether it’s time for new wheels, watch for these signs:
- Cracking in the rubber
- Flat spots
- Core degradation
These are clear signs that an upgrade is needed. Replacing your wheels at this point will enhance the scooter's feel.
Frequent riders may need to replace wheels every few months, while casual riders may experience longer durability.
Is It Necessary to Replace Both Scooter Wheels Simultaneously?
Simultaneously replacing both wheels ensures better balance and consistent performance between the front and rear wheels.
Replace both wheels if:
- Both show wear or have flat spots
- You desire uniform front and rear performance
- You are changing to a different wheel type or hardness
Replace one wheel if:
- Only one wheel shows damage
- You are getting the same type of wheel
