Scooter Deck Compatibility Guide

All modern stunt scooter decks are designed for integrated headset bearings. If you have an SCS-set up, it may be necessary to include a headset spacer for the compression to function with your new deck.
Street or Park: Which Scooter Deck Suits Your Style?
Street riders prioritise the need for resilience. A street scooter deck is built to endure the demands of the stunts associated with street riding. Street scooter decks are sturdy and broad to handle grinds on ledges and handrails, and withstand jumps down extensive staircases. They are usually between 5 and 7 inches wide.
A park scooter deck is ideal for dedicated skateparks and tends to be narrower than street decks. The slimmer width allows for faster manoeuvres and quicker rotations during aerial tricks.
- Park scooter decks focus on agility for technical stunts, making them smaller and lighter
- Street scooter decks are built for durability and are heavier and broader
Scooter Deck Dimensions: Width and Length
The size of the deck directly influences how the scooter rides. A wider scooter deck provides more balance and space for your feet, making it a favourable option for street riding. Conversely, a narrower deck is lighter and spins faster, offering greater agility, which is perfect for park riding.
- Park deck width: typically 4.5–5.25 inches wide
- Street decks width: generally 5–7 inches wide
- Shorter scooter decks: better for rapid rotations and whips
- Longer scooter decks: more stable for manuals and landings
Comparing Box Cut and Peg Cut: Grasping Scooter Deck Designs
A box cut deck features straight and perpendicular edges. This design increases foot space and grinding surface, making box cut decks ideal for ledge tricks and technical street riding. The defined corners provide precise locking onto obstacles.
Peg cut decks feature angular cut-outs near the dropouts, essential if you plan to install pegs on your setup.
Considering Weight for Scooter Decks: Lightweight or Heavy?
If you're wondering whether to choose a lighter or heavier scooter deck, consider these points.
- Lighter scooter decks spin faster when executing tail whips and similar tricks
- Heavier scooter decks offer more stability and can withstand greater impacts
Modern stunt scooter decks are crafted from aluminium providing an excellent balance of strength and lightness.
