Buying Stunt Scooters and Kick Scooters for Beginners, Advanced, and Professionals

Scooters can be used as a means of transportation to quickly and conveniently commute between your home and work or school, but they are also popular as sports equipment. Depending on their intended use, we offer various types of scooters. Our range includes a wide selection of stunt scooters, as well as micro and city scooters suitable for beginners, advanced riders, and professionals. We also have snow scooters and snow skates for winter holidays, and for improving your skills, we offer stunt scooter training and trampoline scooters for home practice and use on trampolines.

Stunt Scooters for All Levels

In sports, stunt scooters, also known as freestyle scooters or trick scooters, are used to combine fun and fitness. By training your muscles and improving your agility simultaneously, stunt scooter riding is a popular hobby that also enhances your coordination and balance skills for other sports. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional, you will find the perfect stunt scooter for your skill level with us. Our selection ranges from sturdy beginner models to high-level professional scooters. You can also customize your own individual stunt scooter with our help by selecting specific components.

From City Scooters to Kids' Scooters

City scooters, also known as commuter scooters, are used for convenient travel from point A to B, exploring a city, or simply accompanying your children on their scooters. These scooters can be folded and easily transported on public transport, and they can be stored compactly at home or on the go. Regarding the specific design of your city scooter, variations include differences in weight and wheel size.

For children, there are specially designed kids' scooters designed for scooter adventures at a young age, featuring appealing designs. While you can style your child's scooter in a classic way, you can also explore various customization options such as LED wheels, bells, and lights in different colors. For the youngest riders, there are special seats available, allowing scooters to be used initially as ride-on toys. Children can playfully develop their sense of balance for other sports, making it easier for them to learn activities like cycling. The scooters in our range only include brands known for focusing on durability, safety, and practicality, allowing scooters to be passed down from child to child within families or friends.

Trampoline Scooters, Snow Scooters, and Snow Skates

Trampoline scooters are designed for use on trampolines and as training devices for indoor tricks. Children as young as 4 years old can safely practice stunt scooter tricks at home on rainy days with these scooters, which are made of soft materials to prevent injuries and protect against damage inside the house.

Snow scooters and snow skates are currently trending. These are specially designed sports equipment for the winter season, suitable for both young and old, allowing you to pursue your passion for stunt scooters even when there is snow. Snow scooters are equipped with special blades and offer an alternative to snowboarding and skiing.

FAQ: Scooters

What types of scooters are available?

There are different types of scooters available, including:

• Stunt Scooters
• Kick Scooters or City Scooters
• Electric Scooters (E-Scooters)
• Kids' Scooters

Each type is designed for specific purposes and age groups, and they vary within beginner and advanced levels. For electric scooters, we recommend visiting our shop ecraft.

Which scooter is right for me?

There is no single "best" scooter, but there is certainly a scooter that is right for you. Choosing the most suitable scooter depends on your individual needs and preferences. Consider where and on what surface you intend to use your scooter, as well as your height and weight. Lightweight and foldable city scooters are ideal for daily commuting, while sturdy stunt scooters are designed for tricks and jumps. Many children also enjoy riding a stunt scooter to school because they are more robust and do not need to be folded.

Our Stunt Scooter Buying Guide on our website is very helpful in guiding you towards the ideal scooter. We also recommend using the filtering options in our online shop, where you can filter by age, for example. If you have any further questions, the Rideside team is here to assist you.

How can I ensure safety for myself and my child while riding a scooter?

Scooters are safe to use when used correctly and maintained regularly. It is important to always ride defensively and be particularly aware of pedestrian traffic. For stunt scooters, it is essential not to forget appropriate protective gear such as helmets, knee and elbow pads. You can find the necessary protectors for you and your child in our range under the "Protective Gear" category.

How do I maintain and care for my scooter?

To extend the life of your scooter and ensure safe rides, regular maintenance is essential. You can regularly check the tires, brakes, and bearings of your scooter for wear and clean your scooter from dirt. All installed bearings (in the wheels and in the headset) should be oiled from time to time. Always read the manufacturer's manual carefully to follow their maintenance recommendations. If you prefer professional scooter service or need repairs, you are welcome to visit our workshop. No appointment is needed for service or repair; simply visit us during our opening hours and leave your scooter with us.

Can I use my scooter in the rain?

Sometimes it is unavoidable to ride your scooter in the rain. However, a scooter is not designed for riding in the rain, and its components will suffer as a result. When wet, it is important to ride slowly, as some surfaces such as manhole covers become extremely slippery when wet. After riding in the rain, dry your scooter indoors promptly and oil the bearings if necessary. Never leave your wet scooter outdoors overnight.

What protective clothing should I wear when riding a scooter?

When riding a scooter, we recommend wearing a helmet, especially for children, to prevent head injuries. Popular among stunt scooter riders are also knee pads, elbow pads, shin guards, ankle guards, mouth guards, and gloves to provide better protection in case of falls.

How long does my scooter last?

The lifespan of a scooter depends on its usage, maintenance, and care. With regular maintenance and proper use, a scooter can last several years. High-quality models generally have a longer lifespan but still require regular maintenance. For more information on maintenance and care, refer to "How do I maintain and care for my scooter?" A stunt scooter is subjected to heavy loads and therefore shows signs of wear much earlier. Expect to replace parts of your scooter like wheels, grip tapes, and grips more frequently.

What is the best way to transport my scooter?

Foldable scooters are easy to transport and store. There are also practical carry straps to carry scooters. For longer distances or travels, special carrying bags are available to facilitate transport. The kids' scooters in our range are particularly lightweight, so they can be easily carried or transported on a stroller.

Where can I buy spare parts for my scooter?

You can find spare parts for scooters such as stunt scooters and city scooters or micro scooters directly in our online shop under the respective category. For spare parts for stunt scooters, visit the "Parts" category. For city scooter spare parts, select the "Scooter Spare Parts" category. If you have questions about which part fits your scooter, feel free to contact us.
