Street Scooters

Street stunt scooters differ from park scooters in a range of ways, starting with the design of the scooter decks. Street scooter decks tend to be wider and shorter. This is because wider and shorter scooter decks prioritise stability for street tricks, allowing for a solid platform upon landing when taking on those mega moves. The scooter handlebars also tend to be slightly lower to aid in executing tricks and navigating the tighter areas that you will find on the streets, especially within cities. With regards to wheels, street scooters often feature softer wheels as this enables the scooter to absorb harsher shocks and bumps that you could find on the rougher terrains that come with street scooter riding. 

A street scooter’s aesthetics tends to resemble what it is set out to do and achieve, and that is, ride the streets in a hardcore fashion. This means these street stunt scooters will have more of an edgy look, with more graffiti-like artwork. Street scooters have some of the coolest scooter designs in the world, so if you want a complete scooter solely to ride casually from A to B with a striking look and style, then a street scooter is what you will want to get your hands on. It is also great for matching your outfits with, especially if you tend to wear street-style clothing.

Whether you go for a park stunt scooter or a street stunt scooter as a beginner largely depends on your personal preferences, goals and the type of terrain you plan to ride on. Both styles of riding have their own benefits and drawbacks and we will go though these now. With regards to street stunt scooters, they are very versatile and take on all sorts of terrains and surfaces and they are very durable too. You can also get quite technical with the stunts you perform too. With park scooters, they are good for beginners too, but they are better suited to beginners that want to ride on smoother surfaces in skate parks and those who want to really hit the ramps and progress their park stunts. Skateparks are beginner friendly environments, however, so in a nutshell, both styles of riding are ideal for beginners.
