How to Build a Custom Stunt ScooterUpdated 20 hours ago
Want a one-of-a-kind setup that fits your style perfectly? Building your own stunt scooter is the way to go 🔧🛴 Here’s exactly how to do it, step by step.
🧰 What You’ll Need (Main Parts)
A full custom scooter includes these components:
🛞 Wheels (usually 100–125 mm)
🛴 Deck
🪛 Fork (compatible with your compression type)
🧲 Compression system (SCS, HIC, IHC, ICS, or Mini HIC)
🧱 Clamp (double, triple, or SCS)
🪵 Handlebars (standard or oversized)
🧷 Headset (integrated or non-integrated)
🛡️ Grips and grip tape
🧵 Axles and spacers
Optional: bar ends, pegs, fenders or brake
🔍 Compatibility Is Everything
Before you start assembling, make sure:
Your compression system matches the bar/fork
Your clamp fits the bar diameter
Your deck and fork fit the same wheel size
Your headset type matches your deck (most modern decks are integrated)
💡 Not sure? Check our parts compatibility guide or contact us before ordering.
🔩 Assembly Steps (With Tips)
1. Install the headset into the deck
Most decks use integrated headsets
Drop the bearings and cups in place
Press down evenly until seated
2. Attach the fork
Slide fork into headset
Add the top cap and compression bolt
Tighten until fork spins freely but doesn’t wiggle
3. Install the compression system
Follow your system’s specific guide (SCS, HIC, IHC, etc.)
Ensure everything is snug — this is the scooter’s core stability
4. Install the bars and clamp
Slide bars onto the fork or compression system
Make sure they’re aligned straight
Tighten clamp bolts evenly using an X-pattern
5. Mount the wheels
Insert bearings and spacers if needed
Align spacers in fork and deck
Insert axle and tighten (don’t overtighten)
6. Add grips and grip tape
See our separate install guides for these
Personalize your setup for style + function
🧠 Pro Tips
Use threadlocker (Loctite) on clamp/compression bolts if riding hard
Always test bar alignment before final tightening
Bounce test your scooter to check if it's “dialed” (no rattles)
