Rating of the cheapest stunt scooters for 2022

The choice of scooters until recently was not very diverse. Many still consider them to be a simple device on two wheels, which moves by pushing off the ground with a foot, neither an engine nor a motor is installed on it. However, now there is a wide variety of different models on sale - electric scooters, children's, three-wheeled, urban or specialized stunts, which will be discussed in the review.

A person who decides to discover something new for himself and who first came to the skatepark to ride an “iron friend” will achieve a lot over time. The main thing is to be persistent, and also not to lose heart in case of failures. To minimize the risk of falling, it is important to choose a balanced model with which you can feel comfortable.

What it is

A stunt scooter is a vehicle for riding in extreme conditions in equipped or unprepared places, practicing kick scootering (scooter sports), as well as performing tricks.

They are made with the function and calculation to withstand the increased loads that occur during the performance of stunt feints.

Differences from conventional scooters:

• structure with reinforced elements;
• folding mechanism, as a rule, is absent;
• steering wheel height is unchanged;
• the number of wheels is not more than two.

The first copies of extreme models appeared at the beginning of the 21st century on the basis of children's ones by strengthening structural elements and installing special wheels. It was then that small firms created by riders began to appear, producing components - a steering wheel, a fork, a deck. During the first decade of the new century, companies specializing in the production of stunt scooters began to develop - Blunt, MGP, District. Now there are more than 50 brands of such products in the world, so there is a ready-made solution for any level - from professional to amateur.

What are

By type of manufacture

one.Factory (complete, complete) - finished products of a standard type from the manufacturer's conveyor.

2. Under the order (custom, custom) - the best piece products, assembled from individual parts and having extensive functionality.

By Application

1. Park - lightweight scooters with a small deck and handlebars to perform feints with elements of rotation.

Peculiarities:

• aluminum or titanium steering wheel;
• hard and light wheels;
• HIC compression system.

2. Street - jump from the steps, slide along the railing.

Peculiarities:

• high position of the reinforced steel steering wheel;
• flat-bottomed deck;
• SCS compression system;
• soft wheels.

3. Dirt - skiing on tracks in the mountains or jumping from trampolines in dirt parks, as well as for sports.

Peculiarities:

• massive deck.

Components

1. Deca - the main component in the form of a platform for the rider to stand. A non-separable aluminum part consists of a profile, an extension and a glass, connected by a welding seam. Some scooters have molded cups made from a single piece of aluminum along with the stem. Dimensions are specified by the manufacturer and are subject to change. The steering column, forks with compression, brakes are attached to it.

2. Fork - a part to hold the front wheel. Connected to the platform through the steering column, secured by a compression system. Includes stays and stem in standard widths and lengths depending on the compression system.

Kinds:

• aluminum - forging or milling a solid billet of aluminum, the lightest;
• steel - welding of several parts, found in inexpensive goods;
• combined - a design with aluminum feathers attached to the stem, sometimes installed on budget products.

3.Steering column - a device for turning the steering wheel. Includes two bearings installed in the deck glass at the bottom and top. There is a single standard.

4. Compression system - a compression mechanism that vertically fixes the fork in the glass.

5. Clamp - clamp (clamp) of the steering wheel position.

6. Steering wheel - an element of the control system for choosing the direction of movement. Made of aluminum, steel, titanium. For the outer diameter, standards are set - 3.18; 3.39 cm

7. Grips - rubberized inserts on the handlebars for comfort and a tenacious grip, repayment of shock recoil upon landing, as well as better control. Depending on the material, they differ in rigidity, and also have different patterns.

8. Barends - plastic or aluminum plugs for the end ends of the steering wheel.

9. Wheel - a disk with an external polyurethane layer made of solid aluminum, with spokes or hollow. The most common size: width - 2.4 cm (less often 3.0 cm), diameter - 11 cm (standard row - 10/11/11.5/12/12.5 cm).

10. Bearings - parts to minimize the friction force when the wheels rotate. The current standard 608: outer diameter - 2.2 cm, inner diameter - 0.8 cm, thickness - 0.7 cm. Manufacturing accuracy is determined by the ABEC classification: for tricks - 5, 7 or 9 (the higher the value, the better).

11. Skin - self-adhesive sandpaper that improves the adhesion of the deck to the shoe sole and provides additional stability.

12. Pegs - additional steel, aluminum or plastic accessories of a cylindrical shape, mounted on an axis to perform racks or slides.

13.Brake - an aluminum, steel or plastic device for stopping the vehicle, mounted on the back of the deck, actuated by pressing the foot. There is no single design standard; the mounting method is determined by the manufacturer.

14. Foot fender - a universal locking mechanism that replaces the brake.

Primary requirements

1. Steering wheel without adjustment.
2. Reinforced frame design.
3. No folding mechanism.
4. Welded joints of the main components.
5. Small hard wheels.
6. High class bearings.
7. Removable hard grips.

Criterias of choice

1. Weight.

The average value is from three to four kilograms. On lighter ones, it is easier to work out the basic basics and simple tricks. They are suitable for riding in the park or on unprepared roads. Heavier top products with increased durability are designed for experienced street riders.

2. Wheels.

• Diameter - affects the style of riding. The smallest with a value of 10 cm has high strength, maneuverability and good handling, which is great for riding in unprepared areas. An average of 11 cm provides agility with the ability to gain high speed for riding on the street or in prepared parks. Larger 12cm diameter for faster acceleration, better roll-off and maximum landing cushioning is the choice of park riders;
• Bearings are consumable parts that affect speed. The increased class ABEC 5, 7 or 9 is distinguished by high reliability and excellent running;
  disks. Models with spokes that have reduced weight are used more often, but they are inferior in strength. Solid ones look spectacular, but they are heavier.Complex ones combine all the advantages and have a complex shape, but the price is much higher.
• material - aluminum or plastic, which are softer, but less durable.

3. Rudder.

• T-shaped - two connected tubes, it is lightweight, good for beginners, but not very convenient for high jumps;
• Y-shaped - a type of complicated design of several tubes with a lot of weight for professionals;
• Bat-wing - a design with additional stiffness wings and a center of gravity shifted upwards for riding on a ramp.

The height is selected according to the rider's height and riding style, and is not adjustable. As a rule, the standard value is in the waist area. Width selection is also made taking into account the user's complexion. The best option for equal shoulder width.

For a street, an increased handlebar in height and width is preferable in order to more accurately control the flight and perform tricks with a large amplitude.

Standard values

Rider height, cm	122	130	137	145	152	160	168	175	183
Handlebar height, cm	41	43	46	48	51	55	58	61	64

4. Deca.

Movement style as well as shoe size are taken into account. You need to stand on the platform with your feet at an angle of 45⁰. The size is suitable if they fit on the board and hang on both sides by no more than four to five centimeters.

For park riding, it is better to choose compact narrow boards.

For the street - wide platforms with a large surface to slide and have good stability on railings or edges.

5. Compression system.

• Standard Compression System (SCS) is the most common and reliable system. Simultaneous retention of the steering wheel and fork with a clamp. There is no cut on the steering wheel.

• The Inverted Compression System (ICS) is a cheap and lightweight system. Tightening the steering wheel with a clamp while maintaining compression to prevent play.A special propyl is applied to the steering wheel.

• Hidden Inverted Compression (HIC) is a lightweight and secure fastening system using a spacer element. At the same time clamping the fork, steering wheel and spacer with a clamp.

• Threaded - the simplest inexpensive system in which the fork is held with a thread and a nut with additional fixation of the steering wheel with a clamp. Suitable for beginners but requires regular maintenance.

6. Steering column.

• integrated - combined with the frame tube, the total weight is significantly reduced, with good wear resistance and endurance to increased loads;
• non-integrated - low cost design with possible backlash over time.

7. Price.

When choosing cheap products to save money, you need to remember that Chinese consumer goods, unlike branded scooters, break down when performing tricks much more often. It is better not to buy such devices as a gift for a child.

Where could I buy

Skating rules

It should be remembered that when riding a kick scooter there are certain risks, which require a lot of effort from the rider. He is opposed not only by the force of attraction, but also by the fear of performing a trick.

To reduce the risk of injury, you must follow a number of simple rules.

1. Don't do a trick without being ready for it. Before you perform a new feint, you need to evaluate the capabilities of the scooter and your own, and also think ten times whether the climbed eight stairs are worth a broken fork (at best).
2. Do not ride in the rain, in the mud, in the dark. It is very easy to slip and get injured during extreme riding on landing.
3. Don't forget about protection. It must be remembered that repairing a scooter is easy, but a person is much more difficult. However, just one injury can lead to the complete end of a rider's career.
4. Do not step on a faulty scooter. A cracked part will definitely fail at the wrong moment, a worn wheel will easily go into a skid, and a bad bearing will wedge at high speed.
5. Ride only in shoes (with non-slip soles) and no more than one person per scooter.
6. Store the scooter in a warm, dry place.

Enjoy the shopping! Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
