When Should I Replace Parts on My Scooter?Updated 19 hours ago
Scooters take a beating — and that's part of the fun! But to ride safely and perform at your best, it’s important to know when to replace your gear 🔧🛴
🔁 General Rule of Thumb
If a part feels loose, wobbly, cracked, or makes odd noises, it's time to inspect it. Riding with damaged components can lead to poor performance — or injuries.
🛞 When to Replace Specific Parts
🔩 Bars
Bent, cracked, or twisted? Replace immediately
Frequent drops can weaken aluminum bars faster than steel ones
🔧 Clamp
If your bars keep slipping or the clamp won’t tighten properly, it may be stripped or worn out
🛞 Wheels
Flat spots or wobble when spinning
Bearings sound rough or feel gritty
Pro tip: Replace bearings every 3–6 months for smooth performance
🪛 Deck
Visible cracks, dents, or loss of structure
Tail and edges may wear down with grinds and tricks
🎧 Headset
If it feels loose, squeaky, or unresponsive during barspins or whips
Replace when it doesn’t stay tight or affects steering
🧩 Griptape
Worn down or peeling = less control
Time to refresh if your shoes keep slipping
⚙️ Compression System
If your bars start to wobble or headset won’t stay tight
Check for stripped bolts or worn components
🧠 How Often Should You Check?
Daily riders: Quick inspection every 1–2 weeks
Casual riders: Inspect monthly
Always check before skatepark sessions or big rides
