Scooter Components

Here you will find all the parts you need to build your very own custom scooter. These are the same parts, which you use to upgrade and maintain your scooter. There are parts of different brands that are not always compatible. In this guide we will try to help you find the parts that fit your scooter.

To collect a complete scooter you must have the following parts:

• Hand grips for scooters are available in different widths, colors and hardness levels. In addition, the handles can be designed with different patterns that affect the grip. You can read more about the scooter handles in our guide for the scooter handles.
• Wheels on scooters are usually different from core materials, core designs and different sizes and hardnesses. You can learn more about scooter wheels in this guide to scooter wheels.
• Grip tape for scooters is very essential because it grips your feet. There may be differences in roughness and designs, and every scooter rider usually has his own preferences.
• Bearings are sitting in the wheel. It can be a little difficult to change the bearings on scooter wheels with a metal core. Bearings are divided into precision and categorized by ABEC. You can read more about the ABEC rating in this guide for bearings.
• Bars for scooters are used for steering. On the scooter it is called the bar and connected to the front fork. The size and width of the bar depends on your height and your personal preferences. You can learn more about bars in this guide.
• The brake on the scooter can be designed in two ways: flex fender and normal spring.
• Clamps for scooters are the part that holds the bar, fork and deck together. Clamps for scooters are available in different sizes (normal and oversized) and fit different compression systems (SCS, IHC, HIC, etc.). Read our guide for scooter clamps to learn more about which clamp fits your scooter.
• The deck of a scooter is the platform you stand on. It can be designed in different ways that affect the durability. It is always important to choose a deck that fits your need for durability versus weight. Read more in our guide for scooter decks.
• The fork of a scooter can be constructed in different ways: Molded or carved by a piece of metal. A fork cut out of one piece of metal has fewer weak points. At the same time there are forks in different sizes. You can read more about the size that fits your scooter in this guide for scooter forks.
• The headset in a scooter is the bearing that causes the fork to rotate freely in the deck head tube. The headset can be integrated and thus wrapped in the deck. You can read more about the scooter headset in this guide.
