Collection: Stunt Scooter

Stunt scooters are revolutionising the skate and extreme sports subculture. Once dominated by skateboards, BMX bikes, and rollerblades, skateparks are now bustling with young riders on low-slung two-wheelers. Initially, riders used “regular” scooters, but their durability fell short for performing tricks. This led to the development of specially designed stunt scooters.

At Movino, we offer an extensive range of stunt scooters, and our products are a common sight in skateparks across Europe. We take pride in the fact that on a Movino X-Core scooter, Benjamin “Benek” Jużyna clinched the title of Polish Champion in the Senior category in 2022, while Piotr Matyja won the Junior category.

Stunt Scooter—Embrace the Thrill

More and more young people are swapping their city scooters for ones suitable for tricks. And it’s not just the young! Skateparks are filled with riders of all ages. Explore our store for reliable stunt scooter models like the X-Core, favoured by advanced riders—including the Movino Pro Scooters Team. A stunt scooter is more than just a means of getting from point A to B; it’s your ticket to adrenaline-pumping tricks, jumps, and stunts.

Stunt scooters are stripped of unnecessary elements that could hinder trick performance. They are engineered to withstand high-impact activities. With enhanced stability, these scooters are lighter and more reliable, whether you’re at the skatepark or on the street.

Movino Stunt Scooter Construction

Unlike traditional scooters, a stunt scooter from Movino cannot be folded. The handlebar height is fixed—and that’s a good thing! This design ensures a more stable and durable construction, resistant to damage. The 360-degree handlebar rotation allows for smooth trick execution, while its Y-shape provides added safety.

A key difference is the compression system, which connects the handlebar to the deck. Traditional scooters use threaded connections, but stunt models have innovated systems like IHC and SCS, replacing threaded systems in most models. These systems enhance ride quality and structural durability.

The IHC and SCS compression systems offer a more stable connection between the deck and handlebar, ensuring smooth rotation crucial for tricks like barspins and tailwhips.

Stunt scooters feature smaller wheels than city scooters, typically ranging from 100 mm to 120 mm in diameter. Larger wheels are preferred by advanced riders, while smaller ones are recommended for beginners. Bearings are also crucial, influencing speed and smoothness. The ABEC scale, with five classes (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), rates bearing quality—the higher the number, the smoother and faster the ride.

Material choice is vital for a stunt scooter. Riders seek a lightweight yet robust scooter. Steel scooters are being replaced by those with aluminium decks and forks, with some components, like handlebars, even made from titanium.

Which Stunt Scooter Should You Choose?

The primary question for any stunt scooter enthusiast is where they plan to ride—whether it’s at the skatepark or on the street. It’s crucial to consider the scooter’s height (ensuring the handlebars aren’t too high), as well as its weight and size.

Look no further! Movino stunt scooters offer both beginners and advanced riders reliable IHC and SCS compression systems, along with high-quality aluminium and steel components, all in distinctive, recognisable designs and colours!

Stunt Scooters vs. City Scooters

What sets a trick scooter apart from a regular one? Stunt scooters are specifically designed for performing tricks. Therefore, they lack elements that aren’t necessary for this purpose and might even hinder trick execution. This also impacts their weight, as stunt scooters are incredibly lightweight. The simplicity of their design contributes to greater stability. Freestyle scooters are additionally built to withstand stresses, for example, those that occur when landing from a jump. These features make them perfect for extreme riding at the skatepark or on the street.

Which Trick Scooter is Best for Beginners?

For children starting out, we recommend low-profile trick scooters with smaller decks, such as the Movino Tyro or Movino Nitro. For older beginners, we suggest the Movino Glide model.

Stunt Scooters—Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the optimal height for a stunt scooter?

Most riders choose a handlebar height where the end of the handlebar is between their hips and navel. However, remember that with stunt scooters, you cannot adjust the handlebar height (except by cutting it). The height adjustment seen in city scooters simply doesn’t exist here—it would compromise durability.

Does a stunt scooter have a brake?

Yes, street scooters come equipped with brakes mounted on the rear wheel. There are two types: Flex Fender and Spring Brake, with the latter appearing less frequently and mainly in budget models. A brake is a mandatory feature required by European safety standards. While many riders use the brake sparingly or not at all, if you plan to use the scooter for city commuting, a foot brake is essential.

What is the recommended age for riding a stunt scooter?

Stunt scooters are recommended for children as young as six years old. When choosing a scooter for younger children, consider the scooter’s height and deck size. Avoid buying a larger scooter “to grow into,” as it can hinder riding. For a six-year-old, we recommend the Tyro scooter, which is very lightweight, features a short handlebar, and has an appropriately sized deck.

Which stunt scooter under 70€?

We recommend the Movino Glide model. Within the Movino brand, this is the best stunt scooter available for under 70€.

Which stunt scooter under 95€?

We recommend the Movino Maniac model. It’s the top stunt scooter for under 95€ in our lineup.

Which stunt scooter under  120€?

Our recommendation is the X-Core model. Among Movino’s offerings, it’s the best stunt scooter for under  120€. The X-Core stands out from standard models with features like an aluminium handlebar, IHC compression system, and 110 mm alucore wheels.

Where can you buy a stunt scooter?

At our Movino store, we offer a range of stunt scooter models, along with a wide selection of spare parts. You’ll find both professional stunt scooters and those suitable for beginners.

How to maintain your stunt scooter?

To ensure your stunt scooter lasts as long as possible, proper maintenance is key! After each ride, check for any looseness and tighten the compression bolt or clamp if necessary. It’s wise to replace worn or damaged parts. You can find new parts for your equipment in the Movino store. If you need assistance, feel free to contact our service team, who will strive to resolve any issues. Stunt scooters don’t like moisture, water, or sand. Don’t forget about cleaning—thoroughly clean your stunt scooter, ideally after every use.
