Stunt Scooter Pegs
What Are Stunt Scooter Pegs Used For?
Stunt scooter pegs are cylindrical components that can be affixed to the wheels of a stunt scooter. They enable riders to execute various grinds, stalls, and jumps that are unachievable on scooters lacking pegs. These pegs are available in varying lengths and are crafted from either metal or plastic.
Using Scooter Pegs
Stunt scooter pegs can be positioned on either side of the front and rear wheel axles of your peg-cut deck. Many riders opt to install two pegs on the same side of the scooter, as they prefer one side for performing tricks.
To grind on scooter rails or boxes, you must be capable of hopping onto the obstacle with either the front, back, or both pegs landing on the grinding surface. To conclude the trick, simply hop off and continue rolling. Numerous variations exist for this, and the list of tricks is extensive. Some other peg tricks involving more footwork include nose and tail manuals, along with various jumps and spins.
Although most stunt scooter pegs come with a mounting bolt, remember that not all pegs are compatible with every stunt scooter. The standard axle diameter provided with the pegs is 8 mm, which should match the diameter of your original axle. A general guideline is to purchase the pegs, deck, and fork from the same brand, offering the best likelihood of compatibility.
