Enhance Your Stunt Scooter with Top-quality Wheels

This page holds the key to new stunt scooter wheels for you to explore. Discover a plethora of widths, sizes, and designs, enabling you to select the perfect pair for your scooter.

Installing fresh wheels dramatically alters your ride. They influence the scooter's tactile response, ride quality, and performance. Once paired with the correct wheels, your scooter will almost feel like it’s had a total transformation. Before purchasing, just check that your chosen wheels fit your setup. Below, we address typical queries regarding stunt scooter wheels.

Stunt Scooter Wheels: Checking Compatibility

Two primary aspects determine a stunt scooter wheel’s compatibility with your setup: its diameter and core width. The standard dimensions for stunt scooter wheels are a 110 mm diameter and a core width of 24 mm.

Wheel Diameter

Wheels that exceed the maximum diameter your deck and fork are designed for will not fit, as clearance is required for proper rolling. Conversely, wheels smaller than the maximum diameter of your fork and deck should pose no issue.

⇒ Ensure that your fork and deck can fit the diameter of the wheels you select.

Wheel Width

The core width of the wheel must not surpass the maximum width capacity of your fork and deck. If your choice is narrower, spacers can be used to fill any gaps.

⇒ Ensure that your fork and deck can fit the width of the wheels you select.

12STD Wheels

For 12STD wheels, ensure compatibility with a 12STD fork and deck. These wheels utilise a 12 mm axle with 6001 bearings, contrasting with standard wheels that use 8 mm axle holes and 608 bearings.

⇒ Only select 12STD wheels if your setup includes a 12STD fork and deck.

Key Features of Stunt Scooter Wheels (and Their Impact on Your Ride)

When selecting new stunt scooter wheels, a few technical features demand consideration. Each impacts how your scooter reacts to movement.

Wheel Diameter

Larger wheels enhance speed and stability
Smaller wheels are lighter and improve manoeuvrability

Wheel Width

Wider wheels provide more grip
Narrower wheels ensure faster movement but reduced grip

Wheel Profile

Flat profiles offer increased grip and stability
Narrow profiles enhance speed and manoeuvrability
Round profiles offer a balanced compromise between flat and narrow profiles

Core Material

Aluminium cores offer durability, ideal for tricks
Nylon cores are lighter and suitable for beginners or children (not recommended for tricks)

Core Design

Solid core – the most robust option, albeit the heaviest.
Hollow core – offers impressive strength while being lighter than solid cores
Spoked core – combines strength with lightness
Perforated core – balances low weight with performance.

If your priority is durability, opt for a solid core. Otherwise, the choice largely depends on your aesthetic preference.

Wheel Hardness

Harder urethane is longer-lasting, but less grippy
Softer urethane provides more grip but wears quicker

The usual hardness range is between 84A - 90A on the durometer scale.

Recognising When to Replace Your Stunt Scooter Wheels

Wheels that are worn out impact your ride’s performance. Here are tell-tale signs indicating it might be time for a replacement:

Splits in the rubber
Flat sections
Core damage

These signs clearly indicate a wheel upgrade is in order. Replacing them at this stage will rejuvenate your scooter’s performance.

Frequent riders might need replacements every few months, while occasional riders will find theirs last longer.

Is it Necessary to Replace Both Scooter Wheels at the Same Time?

Replacing both wheels simultaneously helps maintain balance between the front and rear, leading to optimal performance.

Replace both if:

Both show wear or have flat spots
You desire consistent performance at the front and rear
You’re switching wheel types or hardness

Replace one if:

Only a single wheel is damaged
You're choosing the same wheel type

Do All Scooter Wheels Come with Bearings?

Most stunt scooter wheels come with pre-installed bearings for ease of installation and immediate usability. Always check product details or images to verify bearing inclusion.
