New wheels can significantly impact your ride, altering how your scooter feels, handles, and responds. The right wheels can make your scooter feel nearly new again. Prior to purchasing, ensure compatibility with your setup. Below, we've provided straightforward answers to frequently asked questions regarding stunt scooter wheels.

Stunt Scooter Wheels: Ensuring Compatibility

To ensure a stunt scooter wheel fits your setup, consider two key dimensions: diameter and core width. The standard dimensions for stunt scooter wheels are a diameter of 110 mm and cores 24 mm wide.

Wheel Diameter

If the diameter of the wheels exceeds what your deck and fork can accommodate, they won't fit. Adequate space is necessary for wheel rotation. Smaller diameters are fine if they fall within the fork and deck's maximum limit.

⇒ Verify that your fork and deck can support the chosen wheel diameter.

Wheel Width

The core width cannot surpass the maximum width allowed by your fork and deck. Narrower wheels can use spacers to fill any excess space.

⇒ Ensure your fork and deck are compatible with the selected wheel width.

12STD Wheels

12STD wheels demand a 12STD-compatible fork and deck, using a 12 mm axle and 6001 bearings, as opposed to the standard 608 bearings with 8 mm axle holes.

⇒ Only opt for 12STD wheels if your fork and deck are 12STD compatible.

Stunt Scooter Wheel Features (and How They Enhance Your Ride)

Several technical aspects should be considered when selecting new stunt scooter wheels, each influencing your scooter's responsiveness.

Wheel Diameter

Larger wheels offer greater speed and stability
Smaller wheels are lightweight and more manoeuvrable

Wheel Width

Wider wheels provide more grip
Narrower wheels are swifter, though offer less grip

Wheel Profile

Flat profiles offer increased grip and stability
Narrow profiles provide more speed and agility
Round profiles strike a balance between flat and narrow types

Core Material

Aluminium cores are robust and ideal for tricks
Nylon cores are lighter, suitable for novices and children (not suited for tricks)

Core Design

Solid core – Extremely durable, albeit heavier.
Hollow core – Strong yet lighter than solid cores
Spoked core – Both strong and lightweight
Perforated core – Balances low weight with performance.

If durability tops your priorities, solid cores are the choice. Beyond that, selecting a core design is largely an aesthetic decision.

Wheel Hardness

Harder urethane lasts longer but grips less
Softer urethane offers more traction but wears quicker

Typical hardness range is 84A - 90A on the durometer scale.

When to Replace Your Stunt Scooter Wheels

Worn wheels hinder performance. If you're unsure when to replace your stunt scooter wheels, watch for these signs:

Cracks in the rubber
Flat patches
Damage to cores

These indicate it's time for an upgrade. New wheels at this point will enhance your scooter's feel.

Frequent users might need wheel replacements every few months, while casual riders may extend their lifespan.

Should Both Scooter Wheels Be Replaced Simultaneously?

Simultaneously replacing both wheels enhances balance between front and rear, ensuring steady performance.

Replace both wheels if:

Both are worn or have flat patches
Consistent front and rear performance is desired
You are changing to a different type or hardness

Replace one wheel if:

Only one wheel is damaged
The same wheel type is being replaced

Do Scooter Wheels Come Pre-equipped with Bearings?
