Stunt scooter, scooter pegs
During the spring-summer period, when the active leisure season opens, prices for stunt scooters rise sharply. But not at Candy Boards! We are one of the few who managed to keep the prices of most goods from before the war. After all, it is important for us that everyone can choose a quality, and most importantly, affordable type of personal transportation and its components.
How to choose scooter pegs?
At first glance, buying scooter pegs seems very simple. However, there are specific nuances that must be considered when choosing. First of all, it is the manufacturing material. Steel or aluminum pegs need to be waxed to avoid squeaking. Additionally, they are more likely to break and start rusting. Therefore, plastic pegs are definitely the best option. They are lightweight and slide better on all surfaces compared to titanium.
No less important factor influencing the choice of pegs is the riding skills. In general, among riders, there is an opinion that using this element is only necessary during professional riding. This is due to the fact that people who are not confident in performing stunts on stunt scooters find it difficult to handle the additional peg at the rear wheel. As a result, falls or injuries may occur. Additionally, it should be considered that equipping the scooter with pegs slightly changes the platform's structure. Therefore, experienced riders know that to prevent a fall, it is necessary to slightly divert the foot to the side.
Is it possible to ride without pegs?
Although the main purpose of stunt scooters is to perform jumps from heights and maneuvering of varying difficulty, no one prohibits regular riding on them. If you use the equipment exclusively for such needs, then buying pegs is unnecessary. They are also not mandatory for teenagers and beginners. It is recommended to equip the scooter with pegs after mastering all stunt skills.
Regardless of how skillfully you can ride a stunt scooter, remember about personal safety. Helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, gloves are mandatory. Choose designated areas for practice, such as skate parks. With the best scooters provided on the candyboards.com website, you will quickly and safely acquire riding skills and soon become a professional rider.
