How to Tell If Your Parts Fit TogetherUpdated 2 months ago

Custom build? Mixing brands? Let’s make sure everything fits together perfectly before you tighten a single bolt 🧠🔩

Scooter parts aren’t always universal — different diameters, compression types, and compatibility quirks can cause confusion. This guide helps you quickly check if your bars, forks, clamp, and deck are all compatible.


🔍 1. Handlebar Compatibility

There are two handlebar diameters you need to know:

TypeOuter Diameter
Standard31.8 mm
Oversized34.9 mm

💡 Bars can be steel or aluminum — this affects compression compatibility too.


🧷 2. Bar Slits & Compression

Whether your bars have a slit or not will determine which compression system they’re compatible with:

Compression TypeSlit RequiredCompatible Bar Type
SCS❌ No slitStandard or Oversized
HIC✅ YesOversized only
IHC✅ YesStandard only
ICS/ICS10✅ YesStandard only

🔧 Bars with a slit won’t work with SCS unless you use a bar adapter or cut the slit off.


🧲 3. Clamp Compatibility

Clamp size depends on your handlebar diameter:

Clamp SizeFits With
Standard31.8 mm bars
Oversized34.9 mm bars
SCS ClampWorks as compression and clamp — check if it's for standard or oversized bars (some are universal with a shim)

🧱 4. Fork & Compression Compatibility

Forks are often designed to work with one or two specific compression systems:

  • IHC Forks = Only work with IHC

  • HIC/SCS Forks = Work with HIC or SCS depending on setup

  • ICS Forks = Rare, need a long bolt through the fork to the handlebar starnut

Check that your fork has a built-in star nut or threaded insert for SCS/HIC/IHC setups. If not, you may need to install a star nut.


🛞 5. Wheel & Deck Fit

Wheels come in multiple diameters and widths. Most scooters use:

  • 100 mm, 110 mm, or 120 mm

  • Widths: 24 mm (standard) or 30 mm (wide)

Decks and forks must support the diameter and width of your wheels.

🔍 Always check product specs before buying!


🧠 Pro Tips:

  • Always double-check diameter + compression before buying bars or clamps

  • Mix-and-match brands carefully — sizing can vary slightly

  • When in doubt, contact us with your full build list — we’ll review it
