A little history
At the beginning of the 20th century, the scooter was more of a toy for children from wealthy families. First built in wood, it is then made in steel. The freestyle scooter appeared in the 2000s, but was a relatively confidential practice. It has since become completely democratized.
What characterizes a stunt scooter?
The freestyle scooter is a special scooter because it is made of a single block. It does not bend and is therefore more solid, it also has small wheels, a handlebar in the shape of a T or Y. Light, it is used to perform acrobatic figures, especially in skate parks
It is also composed of:
- A deck: platform where you place your feet, on which there is a grip (non-slip surface);
- A clamp: part that holds the handlebars and the fork;
- A manual rear brake;
- A reinforced fork.
