Welcome to Skooterz
You will have certain seen the increase of the Scooters in just about every town, the skate parks, pavements and just about any open area have been besieges by the bright flashes of colour flying around. Along with the scooters comes a barrage of words describing the latest stunts, tail whips, bar spins, superman, jay hop, and grind to name but a few. The scooters themselves come with just as destinctive sounding brands, Maddgear, JD Bug, Razor, Slamm and many others.
When not trying to learn the latest stunts, customisation is the name of thegame. these scooters are not just just off the shelf, but highly customisable too, with the kids becoming the engineers themselves tightening, adjusting, replacing just about every part of the scooter, whether its bars, wheels and decks or the latest neon coloured grips, indeed it seems the latest accessory scooter lovers carry around with them is the lowly allen key.
These kids love their scooters and where once the scooter was a £15.00 toy from the local shops, the scooters of today can run to hundreds of pounds and with accessories ranging from just a few pounds to a couple of hundred pounds.

Which scooter to buy
Careful consideration should be made when choosing a scooter, particularly to the scooter you buy for a particular use. While everyone loves a bargain, just like BMX bikes and skateboards, the more money you pay will generally get you a higher spec scooter and accessories.
Determine what you want to use the scooter for. Will it be just for riding around with friends or do you intend to pull the latest stunts in the skate parks. If you intend to use the ramps and jumps in a skate park, then be aware the scooter will come under a lot of abuse and it will be worth paying that bit more for the stronger deck, bars and wheels.
If you looking to scooter to school or use the scooter for a means of transport then the entry level scooters will be fine. For ultra portability take a look at the range of folding scooters (good for hopping on the bus and train with)
Which ever scooter you choose make sure you stay safe. We always recommend the wearing of hats and pads.
