How to Choose the Right Scooter Wheels
How can you select the perfect scooter wheels that suit your preferred riding style and the location where you ride most frequently? Find out additional information on this topic here to make an informed decision.
Wheel Size
Scooter wheels come in various sizes, typically 72mm to 120mm. The size of the wheel impacts your scooter's speed and agility. Dive into how sizing new wheels affects performance.
Larger scooter wheels generally equate to greater speeds and a smoother ride, particularly over rough surfaces. They maintain momentum better and can cover more distance per rotation, making them ideal for those looking to zip around with less effort. However, smaller wheels offer more control and agility. They respond quickly to rider movements, which is great for tricks and tight turns. So, if your focus is on speed and efficiency, go for the larger wheels, but if control and technical skills are your priorities, smaller wheels would be your best bet.
Hardness of the Wheels
Selecting the right wheels for your scooter is crucial for a smooth and safe ride. The durometer scale determines wheel hardness. A higher number indicates a harder wheel. Scooter wheels typically range from 82A to 88A on the durometer scale.
If you're aiming for a tight grip on those sharp turns and quick maneuvers, especially on the streets where surfaces can be unpredictable, softer wheels are your go-to choice. They may wear down a bit quicker, but adding more grip is invaluable for many street riders. Conversely, many pro riders prefer harder wheels when showcasing their skills at the skatepark. These sturdier wheels tend to last longer and provide the necessary slide to glide over ramps and rails with ease. When choosing your scooter wheels, consider your riding environment and style to ensure the perfect blend of durability and performance.
Maintenance: Changing and Cleaning Your Scooter Wheels
Regular maintenance, including changing and cleaning your wheels, will extend their life and enhance your scooter's performance. When changing your wheels, always make sure to replace them with the right size and type that fits your scooter's specifications. Cleaning your wheels regularly helps to remove dirt and debris that can affect traction and wear down the wheel material over time. Don't forget to inspect and maintain your bearings too, as they are critical for wheel rotation.
