Stunt Scooter Pegs

What Are Stunt Scooter Pegs Used For?

Stunt scooter pegs are cylindrical components that can be affixed to the wheels of a stunt scooter. They enable riders to execute various grinds, stalls, and jumps not achievable on scooters lacking pegs. These pegs vary in length and are available in either metal or plastic.

Using Scooter Pegs

Stunt scooter pegs are mounted on either side of the front and rear wheel axles of your peg-cut deck. Most riders opt for installing two pegs on the same side of the scooter since they tend to favour one side more for performing tricks.

To grind on rails or boxes, you must hop onto the obstacle with the front, rear, or both pegs landing on the grinding surface. Upon completing the trick, simply hop off and roll away. There are numerous combinations of this, and the list of tricks is extensive. Other peg tricks, which involve using your feet more, include nose and tail manuals, as well as a range of jumps and spins.

While most trick scooter pegs come with a mounting bolt, be aware that not all pegs are compatible with every stunt scooter. The usual axle diameter provided with pegs is 8 mm, so this should match the diameter of your original axle. A general guideline is to purchase the pegs, deck, and fork from the same brand to maximise the likelihood of a proper fit.
