Steps to Put Together a Pro Scooter

Constructing your very own custom pro scooter is quite challenging. Numerous parts may not be compatible, and improper assembly can lead to damage. This guide offers tips and tricks for assembling your pro scooter.

Stunt scooter components vary in standards, so a universal manual for assembling custom scooters doesn't exist. It's recommended that most users utilize our Custom Scooter Builder tool to ensure compatibility of all parts.

Tips from SkatePro

  • Enlist adult assistance during the assembly process
  • Ensure you are using the correct tool
  • If inexperienced, budget at least 3 hours for assembly
  • Select parts from the same brand that are dimensionally compatible
  • Consider that lightweight parts tend to break more easily than regular ones
  • It is advised for dedicated riders to opt for a threadless headset paired with a compression system and a threadless fork
  • Verify contents and compatibility as soon as the package is received before starting assembly (you can return unassembled parts)
  • Before using the scooter, ensure all screws and nuts are tightened, and regularly maintain the scooter as directed in the manual. Defective parts should be replaced
  • Over time, slack in the headset is common. Even high-end headsets will eventually begin to make noise. Tightening the compression system often helps
  • Steer clear of water, sand, moist areas, and excessive failed tricks. ;)
