What Safety Gear Do I Need?Updated 19 hours ago

Riding a stunt scooter is all about fun and freedom — but safety comes first. The right gear protects you from injuries and builds confidence while riding 🛡️🛴


🪖 Must-Have Safety Gear

🧠 Helmet (Always!)

  • Protects your head during falls — absolutely essential for riders of all ages

  • Choose a certified helmet (CE or ASTM) with a snug fit and adjustable straps

  • Skate-style helmets are ideal for scooter riding

🛡️ Knee Pads

  • Protect your knees during landings and slides

  • Especially useful for beginners and park riders

🦾 Elbow Pads

  • Help prevent painful scrapes and fractures

  • Often bundled with knee pads in protection sets

🧤 Gloves

  • Offer wrist support and extra grip

  • Optional, but great for added protection during tricks or colder weather

🦿 Shin Guards or Ankle Guards (Optional)

  • Useful for advanced riders doing street tricks

  • Can prevent bruises and impact injuries during hard landings or missed whips


🧒 Safety Tips for Kids

  • Kids under 6 should always wear full protection: helmet, pads, and proper shoes

  • Choose a scooter that matches their size (see our Scooter Size Guide)


🎯 Pro Tips

  • Make sure all safety gear fits snugly — not too loose or too tight
