Buying scooter pegs

Be aware that not all pegs are compatible with all scooters, due to varying designs and brands.
A good tip is to purchase pegs, the deck, and the fork from the same brand. You can always reach out to the skate shop if you're unsure or if there is no information provided about the peg you intend to buy.

A useful guideline is:

The axle on which the peg is mounted should be longer than the deck's width. Use spacers to create distance if the peg is obstructed by the deck.

Peg material

• Steel (chrome steel) is durable and ideal for street riding.
• Aluminum is lighter and suitable for park riding, but not as tough as steel.

Alternative pegs

You can purchase "one piece pegs" where the axle and the peg are integrated.
These are generally stronger than traditional pegs.

Wear and usage

Pegs are replaceable. If you plan to grind curbs (stone or concrete, etc.), make sure to wax and smooth the curb thoroughly. Also, replace your pegs before they deform to the point where they are difficult or impossible to detach.

Mounting

Decide whether you want to mount your pegs on the left or right side.
Since different brands of scooters use different axle bolts, we recommend using the axle/bolt from your scooter when mounting new pegs, unless your pegs specify otherwise. Often, you just need to unscrew the bolt head on your scooter when attaching pegs, then reinsert the bolt head through the peg and tighten it securely.
