Kick Scooter Wheels

Kick Scooter Wheels for Everyday Use

While the wheels that come with your kick scooter are designed to be durable, they will eventually need to be replaced. To ensure the new wheels fit correctly, it is important to select ones with the appropriate diameter for your setup.

Another significant consideration is the hardness of the wheels, as this affects the overall riding experience. Softer wheels typically provide a smoother ride; however, they may wear out more quickly. To determine the hardness of your wheels, look for the durometer rating. This rating reaches up to 100 followed by the letter A, with a higher number indicating a harder wheel.

Many scooter models are equipped with Pneumatic Scooter Wheels that feature an air tube inside the tyre. These wheels are ideal for everyday use, whether it's commuting to work or heading to the shopping centre, as they absorb impacts on rough surfaces and offer excellent traction.

What is the Lifespan of Kick Scooter Wheels?

The longevity of scooter wheels varies based on several factors such as the type of wheels, frequency of use, and the surfaces you ride on. As previously noted, softer wheels may require more frequent replacement. Additionally, daily riding on rough terrain can also shorten their lifespan.

Bearings play a crucial role in ensuring smooth wheel rotation. Over time, they too will need replacing. If you feel it's time for new bearings, explore our Kick Scooter Bearings.
