Extreme in the blood: TOP 5 best stunt scooters

The iTrike SR 2-027-5 stunt scooter of the initial division is the very thing to comprehend the basics of performing extreme tricks on specialized sites or paved "fields".

The design of the model is based on a welded-reinforced "body", which gives the frame the necessary strength for stunt rides. In addition, a clamp with three bolts securely fixes the steering rack of the scooter with a frame. To be able to perform exercises with elements of rotation, the steering wheel of the product was rotated around the axis within 360 °.

The points of coupling of the scooter with the roadbed are 10-centimeter wheels on aluminium discs, shod in polyurethane "rubber". They are omnivorous to various types of coating, but they are not adapted at all for off-road travel. However, this is typical of all scooters with a sporty soul.

In the additional assets of iTrike SR 2-027-5, it is necessary to write down wide rubberized steering handles to ensure maximum grip convenience. A pebble in the model's garden is a narrow soundboard. But with an eye on the democratic price tag of the scooter, this one is shelved. In the dry balance, the brainchild of iTrike is an affordable entrance ticket to the stunt arena for novice riders.

A scooter with Czech roots in the Tempish XBD 110 family tree is prepared to perform freestyle tricks, as they say, "out of the box".

The model is "built" on an ungainly lightweight aluminium frame (3 kg), which has undergone chemical-thermal treatment by eloxation. This type of protection of the elements of the "body" from corrosion provides the creation of a protective ball of aluminium oxide, which prevents the formation of rust. For better shock absorption, the scooter's steering wheel is secured with a THREAD threaded system.

The "running gear" Tempish XBD 110 uses a tandem of polyurethane wheels (11 cm in diameter) with a reinforced hub and a chrome bearing of class ABEC 7. The mudguard above the rear wheel traditionally acts as a foot pressure brake. The soundboard of the scooter provides 32 cm of free space for setting the legs, which is less than that of the model's athletic peers.

The steering rack of the scooter rises above the floor level at a distance of 86 cm. Non-slip grips add more grip to the steering wheel handles. The model will fit novice tricksters and amateur sports riders. To perform complex tricks, it is worth looking at scooters with a higher permissible load index, for example, a two-wheeled "trickster" Tempish Gang Price from 11 010 up to 11 190 ₴.

Slam Assault III is a suitable stunt scooter for mastering extreme skating skills. This lightweight model is suitable for kids aged 8 years and older riders of the weight category "up to 100 kg".

In order to withstand serious loads (including shock), the scooter was equipped with a reinforced steel Y-shaped steering wheel and a solid aluminium fork without thread. Against the background of typical "urban residents", the model stands out with small polyurethane wheels of 11-centimeter diameter, which are mounted on bearings of class ABEC 9. They help the scooter to gain speed faster and hold it longer.

An anti-slip coating is applied to the Slam Assault III platform, due to which the foot does not slip off it during skating and performing tricks. A flexible composite brake made of carbon steel is connected to the rear wheel of the model. The "light on the rise" design of the scooter (3.5 kg in curb condition) allows you to demonstrate various tricks without much strain (jumps, flips, sliding on the crossbar, etc.).

The handles of the scooter's steering rack are clad in non-slip Pro Grips with shock-resistant plugs (they will not be lost when falling). Frankly, the model has no weaknesses in fact. This is a suitable option for novice stunt drivers and those who are already "cooking" in the cauldron of extreme skiing on the motley stunt tracks of skate parks.

The Czech brand Tempish has earned credibility in the production of sporting goods. In particular, motley models of scooters are popular with the public. One of them with the name Tempish Gang is addressed to riders who have already got their hands on performing tricks.

The model was assigned the highest index of permissible sports load "5 stars". This means that she can easily cope with performing tricks in the manner of turns, slides and jumps. The rigid frame structure of the scooter withstands strong shock loads. At the same time, the reinforced steel steering wheel without cutting provides responsive "taxiing" and eliminates unnecessary vibrations.

The scooter is mounted on wheels of 10-centimeter dimension in diameter made of high-quality polyurethane. They do not mind high loads, and the wheels do not deform under the influence of temperatures. A mechanical brake of the traditional clamping type is placed on the rear wheel of the model. But the most important thing in the characteristics of the chassis is the bearings of the ABEC 9 class, as a guarantee of a fast set of speed and excellent rolling of the scooter.

The "rider" of the scooter is provided with an enlarged foot platform with a total length of 50 cm. The width of the soundboard is 10.8 cm . The model can handle a rider's weight up to 125 kg. It will be inconvenient to drive a scooter except for high-growth tricksters, since the unregulated steering wheel rises above the floor level at a height of about 80 cm. You can't write this feature down as a minus, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Micro scooters try to take into account the requirements of most segments of society of "drivers" of two-wheeled "horses". So, a special stunt model MX Core Camo was released for experienced freeriders.

The stunt scooter is presented on store shelves in two frame dimensions: for riders of normal height (160-185 cm) and tall riders (170-190 cm). The latest version is designated by the XL index and differs from the base by an increased height of the steering wheel placement (90 cm from the deck level), as well as an elongated foot platform (37 cm out of 56 cm of the total length on the work surface). The "ceiling" of the load capacity of the model is 100 kg.

The scooter is suitable for performing tricks of increased complexity, whether it is jumping over obstacles, exercises with elements of rotation or sliding on various surfaces. Complete wheel pegs (protruding bushings on the sides of the wheels) help to unlock the potential in sliding-style tricks.

Small-sized polyurethane wheels (11 cm in diameter) provide the scooter with excellent manoeuvrability and controllability. The rear brake plate made of thin and flexible metal helps to avoid collisions with obstacles and traumatic situations. Micro MX Core Camo will fit knowledgeable freeriders, whose soul lies to trickery in the expanses of equipped skate parks.
