Q. How do I know if my child needs a freestyle scooter or a kick scooter?
A: The answer to this question is with another question. Does your child want to try stunts and tricks at the skatepark? If the answer is yes they need a freestyle scooter. This is because kids kick scooters (that fold) are not designed to take the impact of stunts. Our range of freestyle scooters are Swiss engineered not only take the impact of tricks at the skate park but make it a better ride experience too. Our freestyle range of stunt scooters all have fixed handle bars and aluminium enforced decks (which mean they do not fold) to be able to absorb the impact of tricks and stunts.
