Which Scooter Is Right for My Level?Updated 2 months ago

Not sure which scooter fits your level? No worries — we’ve got your back 🔧🎯

From your first drop-in at the skatepark to dialed street combos, the right scooter depends on your skill level and riding style. Here's how to choose like a pro.


🟢 Beginner Riders (First-Time or Casual Use)

You're just starting out or riding for fun.

✅ Best option: Complete scooter
✅ Lightweight, easy to control
✅ Comes pre-assembled or easy to set up
✅ Usually costs less than pro models
✅ Great for kids, new teens, and casual riders

🎯 Look for:

  • Bar height that matches the size chart

  • Durable but lightweight build

  • Smaller wheels (100–110 mm) for better control

  • Easy-to-maintain compression (IHC or HIC)

💡 Scooters for kids under 6 should be extra light, stable, and beginner-friendly.


🟡 Intermediate Riders (Park or Street Progression)

You’ve learned the basics and want more performance.

✅ Best option: Mid-range completes or entry-level custom setups
✅ Stronger parts that handle impact
✅ Larger wheels (110–120 mm) for smoother riding
✅ Better compression (IHC, HIC, or SCS)

🎯 Look for:

  • Upgraded bearings and forks

  • Tougher decks with room to grow

  • Compression systems that hold up under tricks

💡 Bonus: You can start upgrading individual parts when needed.


🔴 Advanced Riders (Street/Skatepark Pros)

You ride daily and push limits. You know what you like.

✅ Best option: Custom build or high-end complete scooter
✅ Specific bar, deck, and wheel preferences
✅ High-durability parts built for hard landings
✅ SCS compression for max strength

🎯 Look for:

  • Decks designed for street or park (or hybrid)

  • 110 mm wheels or larger for speed

  • Reinforced T-bars or Y-bars

  • Pro-level forks and headsets

💡 Tip: Advanced riders usually know whether they’re park, street, or hybrid focused.
