How to Choose the Right Scooter SizeUpdated 9 days ago

The right size = better tricks, more control, and way more fun 🛴💯

Choosing the correct stunt scooter size is one of the most important steps — whether you’re just starting out or upgrading. Let’s break it down and help you find the perfect fit for your age, height, and riding style.


AgeRider Height (cm)Recommended Scooter Height (cm)
3–4 years95–110 cm66–74 cm
5–7 years105–125 cm68–77 cm
7–9 years120–140 cm72–82 cm
9–11 years130–150 cm74–85 cm
11–13 years140–160 cm76–88 cm
13–15 years150–170 cm78–91 cm
15+ years170+ cm80–95 cm

🧠 Note: This is the total scooter height — measured from the ground to the top of the handlebars (includes the wheels and deck).


📏 1. Handlebar Height

The bar height is key for balance and performance.

  • Ideal handlebar height: Waist level or just below your belly button

  • Too low: You’ll hunch forward = less control

  • Too high: Tricks become harder to pull off

🎯 Tip: Smaller riders should go slightly lower for easier handling and faster progression.


📐 2. Deck Length & Width

The deck size impacts trick style and comfort.

  • Shorter decks (45–50 cm): Lightweight and agile — ideal for park tricks

  • Longer decks (50–57+ cm): More stable — better for street riders and tall users

  • Wider decks (12.5–15 cm): More comfort and foot space, ideal for street or casual riders

  • Narrow decks: Better for fast spins and technical tricks

💡 Tip: Choose based on your riding style — street = longer & wider, park = shorter & lighter.


🛠️ 3. Bar Width

Bar width should roughly match your shoulder width.

  • Narrow bars: Easier barspins, faster tricks

  • Wider bars: More stability, better for grinds and control


🧠 Pro Sizing Tips

  • Most stunt scooters are not height-adjustable — choose the right size first time

  • Always check total scooter height, not just bar height

  • Riders between sizes? It’s okay to size up for growth

  • Pro models typically offer stronger parts but aren’t necessarily taller
