The best stunt scooters

The inexpensive stunt scooter from the Maraton brand is positioned as a maneuverable and lightweight solution for children (from 8 years old) and teenagers. At the same time, the model is capable of supporting users of different sizes, up to a weight of 120 kg.

Maraton Extreme was equipped with ABEC 7 bearings, which can be considered the norm for stunt solutions. They contribute to good rolling and are characterized by good manufacturing accuracy. Indirect confirmation of the strength of the model includes a 4-bolt clamp, which ensures reliable fixation of the steering wheel and no self-unscrewing effect.

The scooter has 10-centimeter wheels, which increase ride maneuverability and simplify acceleration on smooth road surfaces. They are made of polyurethane, so they do not require maintenance and are not afraid of punctures.

Both the steering wheel and deck are made of aluminum. The latter has quite familiar dimensions of 50 by 11 cm. Its Bat-Wing design, similar to Y-shaped solutions, but providing another reinforcing horizontal crossbar, is designed to increase the stability of the steering wheel.

Some sellers also have pegs along with the scooter: they will help beginners learn how to perform sliding tricks (on curbs, railings, etc.). True, the issue of configuration should be further clarified before purchasing.

The disadvantages of the model include the use of threaded compression, which is inferior in reliability to analogues and is more suitable for classic scooters. In any case, Maraton Extreme is a worthy choice for beginner tricksters and all those who have budget restrictions on purchases.

The model from the Blunt profile brand represents the middle price segment and is a very versatile stunt scooter. Thus, it is capable of supporting a rider with a body weight of up to 100 kg, and will be most comfortable for users with a height of 160 to 180 cm, so it is suitable for teenagers and many adults. Blunt Colt S4 has a moderate weight of 3.9 kg, has a fairly wide 12-centimeter deck with a footspace of 35 cm.

The model is available in four colors - black, red, green and turquoise. And the constant common feature is the original graphics on the back and sides of the deck.

The scooter is made from durable materials, including a steel Y-shaped handlebar, a metal two-bolt clamp, reliable but not too heavy IHC compression, and an aluminum deck with a non-slip sandpaper finish.

The durable fork is compatible with tires of different diameters, up to 12.5 cm. The package includes universal 11 cm polyurethane wheels with an aluminum core. The tire stiffness is increased (86A), which is ideal for stunts and the high impact loads they cause. The advantages of the model also include bearings of the advanced class ABEC 9. With them, a minimum of effort is required for good acceleration and maintaining speed.

The Blunt Colt S4 is a well-balanced stunt scooter that can be recommended for entry-level and intermediate riders.

The popular scooter of the Ethic brand is one of the lightest stunt models on the market, because with a weight of less than 3 kg it can support a rider weighing up to 100 kg. With a total height of 87 cm, it is recommended for users with a height of 150 to 175 cm and is aimed at ages from 9 years.

The Ethic Erawan's lightweight design is designed to withstand heavy use in skate parks. So, a fairly simple but very reliable ICS compression is used here, and the steering wheel and deck, which have a universal size of 52.5 by 11 cm, are made of aluminum. The traditional advantages of the brand's products include the overall high build quality.

The scooter received a pair of polyurethane wheels with a diameter of 110 mm, which are designed to provide a balance between comfort and riding speed. The hardness of the tires is 88A, which confirms the stunt-oriented nature of the model, reduces wear and increases control when performing jumps and tricks, with a slightly greater (against the background of soft wheels) sensitivity to unevenness on the road.

The advantages of the model also include ABEC 9 class bearings, which are characterized by excellent manufacturing precision, guarantee excellent smoothness of rotation and excellent roll-up - inertia ride. But compared to younger students, they are more demanding of maintenance and “don’t like” dirt.

The Ethic Erawan is a lightweight stunt scooter for intermediate to advanced park riders.

The Slamm brand's stunt scooter is intended primarily for use in skate parks. It uses the IHC compression system, which is considered a balanced solution in terms of weight and reliability. Also stated is the high quality of assembly and parts involved, including the presence of a carbon steel coaster brake, a threadless (and therefore more wear-resistant) extruded aluminum fork, and a durable deck with additional protection at the rear and front.

Slamm Urban V9 is characterized by an average weight (3.6 kg), which should be comfortable both during direct use and when carrying. The model is ready to “accept on board” riders aged from 8 years and weighing up to 100 kg.

The scooter has a pair of 11-centimeter polyurethane wheels with a hardness of 88A. They are not afraid of shocks during jumps and tricks, but on uneven road surfaces they can cause some discomfort in the form of vibrations. Additional features of the tires include the presence of aluminum cores, which increase overall durability and reliability.

Another feature of the model is chrome-plated ABEC-9 bearings, which provide smooth rotation and excellent roll-up, good stability when landing.

The scooter's steel steering wheel has a Y-shape : this reinforced design compared to the classic variation also has a positive effect on the durability of the vehicle during stunt riding. In addition, the steering column is complemented by wide grips for a secure grip.

Slamm Urban V9 is a good choice for both beginner stunt riders and park riding enthusiasts who plan to hone their skills on frames, pools, rails, etc.

The North brand's stunt scooter can be classified as an advanced solution on the market. The model is designed for riders weighing up to 100 kg and has a slightly increased overall height (92 cm), so it can be recommended for users of average height and above.

North Tomahawk has a classic T-shaped handlebar with comfortable nylon grips. The aluminum deck here is notable for its rectangular edges, smooth bottom and increased width (14 cm). Not only will this provide more room for your feet, but it will also be useful when performing grinds - sliding tricks, and additional pegs will most likely not be needed. It is important that the scooter, despite the massive deck, is not too heavy, because the weight slightly exceeds 4 kg.

The model can be used by experienced stunt performers and fans of street style - use outside of skate parks. For these purposes, the most reliable compression is provided here - SCS with a high-quality 4-bolt clamp (fasteners with a diameter of 6 mm are used). This headset and fork locking system not only contributes to the overall stability and strength of the scooter, but also requires little maintenance from the user.

The model is equipped with wheels with a diameter of 11.5 cm. They are suitable for driving and stunts in an urban environment and allow you to reach high speeds. Good ABEC 7 class bearings serve almost the same tasks. The tires are made of hard 88A polyurethane, for which frequent jumps and serious impacts will not be a problem. True, they also transfer bumps on the road well to the steering wheel, but this is a characteristic feature of many stunt scooters.

The North Tomahawk is an excellent model for street riding, as well as simply demanding or very experienced riders.
