Essential Characteristics of Stunt Scooter Wheels

Consider several technical aspects when selecting new stunt scooter wheels, each influencing how your scooter reacts to motions.

Wheel diameter

Larger wheels enhance speed and stability
Smaller wheels are lighter, offering more agility
Typical diameters include 100 mm, 110 mm, 115 mm, and 120 mm

Wheel width

Wider wheels provide increased grip
Narrower wheels are faster but have less grip

Wheel profile

Flat profiles afford more grip and stability
Narrow profiles yield greater speed and agility
Round profiles balance between flat and narrow

Core material

Aluminium cores are robust and ideal for tricks
Nylon cores are lighter and apt for novices and children (not advisable for tricks)

Core design

Solid core – The most robust option, though also heaviest
Hollow core – Exceptionally strong yet lighter than solid cores
Spoked core – Robust and lightweight
Perforated core – Balances weight and performance well

For emphasis on durability, opt for a solid core. Beyond that, choosing among these core designs often hinges on aesthetics.

Signs You May Need New Stunt Scooter Wheels

Worn wheels can degrade your performance. To determine if it’s time to replace your stunt scooter wheels, watch for these indicators:

Cracks appearing in the rubber

For riders frequently using their scooter, wheel changes may be necessary every few months. Infrequent riders might see longer wheel longevity.
