Essential Considerations Prior to Deck Purchase

Confirm compatibility of wheel width and diameter with the deck
Ensure to acquire griptape (if not included with the deck)
Select a deck that aligns with your riding style
Opt for appropriate width and length based on your preferences

Deck Compatibility Essentials for Scooters

Wheel size: Verify that it aligns with the diameter of your wheels. They are incompatible if the maximum wheel size is smaller than your wheel diameter.
Wheel hub width: Ensure the deck fits the hub width of your wheels (pro scooter wheel hubs measure either 24 mm or 30 mm wide).

All current pro scooter decks are designed for integrated headset bearings. If using an SCS setup, a headset spacer might be needed for the compression to align with your new deck.

Street or Park: Which Deck Matches Your Riding Habits?

For street riders, resilience is paramount. Street decks are specifically built to endure the challenging stunts synonymous with street riding. These decks are robust and wide, designed to handle grinds on ledges and rails, and withstand jumps from significant heights. Their width typically ranges from 5 to 7 inches.

In contrast, park decks are optimized for indoor skateparks and generally narrower than street decks. Their decreased width facilitates faster rotations and enhanced manoeuvrability during aerial tricks.

Park decks emphasize agility and are thus smaller and lighter for technical manoeuvres
Street decks focus on durability, furnishing a heavier and broader frame

Choosing the Right Width and Length for Your Scooter Deck

The deck's size directly correlates with the scooter's performance. Wider decks offer improved stability and ample foot space, ideal for street riding. Narrow decks are lighter, enabling faster spins and increased agility, making them suitable for park settings.

Park deck width: typically 4.5–5.25 inches across
Street deck width: generally 5–7 inches across
Compact decks: enhance whips and rapid rotations
Longer decks: provide greater stability for manuals and landings

Box Cut vs Peg Cut: Deciphering Deck Shapes

Box cut decks feature perpendicular edges, optimizing foot space and the grinding surface area. These decks are exceptional for ledge tricks and precise street manoeuvres, with sharp corners locking into obstacles effortlessly.

Peg cut decks, characterized by angled cutouts near dropouts, are essential for those planning to install pegs on their scooter.

Deck Weight: Choosing Between Light and Heavy Decks

When deciding on a lighter versus a heavier scooter deck, consider these factors.

Lighter decks facilitate quicker spins during tail whips and similar tricks
Heavier decks offer enhanced stability and can absorb more substantial impacts

Pro scooter decks today are crafted from aluminium, striking an ideal balance between strength and lightness.

Understanding Headtube Angles on Decks

The angle of the headtube affects your posture and handling. Typical angles span from 82 to 84 degrees.

Steeper angles allow for swifter steering response
Lower angles increase stability at higher speeds

Maintaining Your Scooter Deck

With proper care, quality scooter decks can last for years. Here’s some advice:

Apply grease to bearing cups during headset installation
Lubricate the bolt threads when installing
To avoid rust, store your deck indoors when not in use and clean it frequently
