So you want to build your own custom scooter for leisure or competition? You will want to invest in the pro scooter parts that will suit your purpose. To that end, you should build each part of your scooter with your specific riding style and habits in mind. Here are the basic building blocks to each scooter section and what you should be looking for when you want to start building one of your own:
1. Basic Scooter Bars
The handlebars of a scooter is the part you grip while you are riding it, obviously. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different bodies, scooter types and riding styles. One good rule of thumb for riders is to get a bar with a crossbar at least as wide as your shoulders, and wider if you want more control. There are different kinds of bars with different gussets and backsweep. If you do not know ahead of time what kind of bar you need, you should look for a basic crossbar that will fit your scooter fork.
2. Basic Scooter Decks
Of all the pro scooter parts you choose for your scooter, your scooter deck is the one most dependent upon your individual body type. Depending on your weight or the size of your feet, you want a scooter that distributes your weight for maximum speed and safety. Longer or wider boards provide more stability, while shorter boards are more flexible. You can also have a deck with more foot space to accommodate a wider stance.
3. Basic Scooter Wheels
No matter what else you are going to invest in when you are selecting pro scooter parts, you should invest in quality wheels for your scooter. Wheels come in multiple different diameters, which will provide you with a number of options for maneuverability, grip, and speed. Larger wheels are built for obstacles and smaller wheels can be faster over smooth surfaces.You want a wheel with as little rolling resistance as possible, as that will also give you more speed.
