The Best Pro Scooters (Review) in 2023 | Autance

Our top pick is an ideal pro scooter for the beginner rider that can step it up as your skill level increases. Made by scooter pros, Fuzion, the Pro X-3 is a smart-looking professional scooter that has the sleek lines and trickability to turn heads.

Lightweight and durable, the Pro X-3 is good to go from the box and with the quality spec as standard, is a blast to ride. The V-shaped handlebars are made from high tensile steel, while the deck is aircraft grade aluminum that’s concave shaped to give the Pro X-3 speed and durability. Add in noise-free brakes, 100mm PU wheels and a threadless headset and you pretty much have it all for a starter ride. The quality of the components is also impressive and will step it up into the trick zone when you are. At less than $75 you get a lot of pro scooter fun for your money.

Designed for the beginner or intermediate rider looking to up their stunt and trick skills, this is a slick machine that more than fits the bill. Made from aircraft grade aluminum, it’s as lightweight as it is durable and can take all the ride practice you want to throw at it.

The narrower and shorter deck makes for tight turns and speedy tricks and in the right hands can give as much fun as a larger and more expensive two-wheeled scooting machine. What we also like about the Pro Crew is how smooth the ride is, thanks to the 100mm wheels, aluminum bearings and precision brakes. The Lucky Pro Crew is at the top end price range of our Best Pro Scooters review, but you get a lot of performance for your dollar.

For the child in your life, or even your inner child, the Beast is a wild little animal that is bags of fun. While perhaps not designed for full-on pro competition, this scooting critter is a fun starter ride which has all the core spec you need to be able to pull off more than a few stunts.

With its aircraft grade aluminum frame and deck, 98 eurethane wheels and fixed riser handlebars, there’s a lot to like about the Beast. The ride is also quiet and smooth thanks to its rear fender brake and the whole set up gives you a solid confidence as you go into a trick or build up the speed. It is on the smaller side compared to some other freestyle scooters in this review but don’t let that fool you, the Beast can take a rider up to 220 pounds so a perfect son/daughter/father share!

If you’re looking for an entry-level pro scooter, then check out the quality S2 Tricks from scooting stalwarts, VOKUL.

Designed for 7-14 year olds but with the ability to take up to 140 pounds, there is scope for a lightweight adult to also have some serious scooting play on this smart looking ride. It has a good price tag too – coming in at under $70 – and you get all the spec you need to get started in scooting freestyle. Made from lightweight aluminum with a Y-shaped carbon steel handlebar for extra stability, the S2 is a comfortable pro scooter to get on and ride. The balance is also good, giving you confidence to work in the basic tricks, while the whole scooter feels sturdy on the straight when building up some steam.  Good to use straight out of the box, this is a good buy if you want to give basic pro scooting a go.

For a fun pro scooter on a budget, then the KR2 from Pulse Performance is the winner of our best value title. OK, it’s mainly for kids but can take a lightweight adult of up to 140 pounds. Or if you already have your own pro scooter and your mini-me wants to join you on your rides, then the KR2 is a good place for junior to start.

For its small size, the KR2 is reassuringly solid and stable, while its nice-sized solid core urethane wheels with ABEC-5 ratings give a smooth enough ride. Made from a high-tensile steel with a sturdy aluminum deck that’s great for smaller feet, we also like the over-sized handlebars to give junior confidence in their control as they get started. And, while designed for beginners, there are some nice touches which means the KR2 can throw some mean pro scooter tricks and shapes, while the rear foot brake can safely bring everything to a neat stop. For less than $35, you’ll be surprised by how much fun you can have with the KR2 Freestyle.

The Fusion Z250 Pro is one tough cookie, designed to withstand regular, hardcore trick scooter use. Intended to be an entry level scooter, no-one has actually told the Z250 that’s it’s a beginner ride and the quality design gives it the competitive edge. Solid 110mm alloy core wheels, one-piece fork and aluminum deck, all the beginner spec is there but then Fuzion takes it all one glide further. The Z250 boasts the highest ABEC wheel bearing rating (9) you can get, giving a smooth and quiet ride that feels a delight underfoot.

Then there’s the extra wrap Hex grips and drift riser handlebars for control and comfort and super-responsive nylon brakes when you need that quick, sharp stop. And don’t think the kids are going to have all the fun, although designed for youngsters beginning to get to grips with trick scooting, the Z250 can take a rider up to 200 pounds so the adults don’t miss out. A tad pricey, at over $120 but you get a lot of spec, as well as some serious trick-tastic fun for your money.

The Madd Gear Kaos is a smart-looking pro scooter that’s great for progressing your skills without spending a fortune. The Kaos is born to be tricky and there’s a lot of fun to be had as you build your confidence and skill.

For riders from the age of 8, the Kaos stunt scooter provides a nice combination of durability, ride quality and overall performance. This is a lightweight freestyle scooter that has some heavyweight credentials, with the experience of pro scooters in the Madd development team. The design brings together TPR grips, integrated headset, threadless alloy forks, large 120mm wheels and a composite brake, to make a solid scooter that can smash it out in the skatepark or your own back yard.

From the experienced design team at VOKUL, you get a lot of quality trick scooter for your money with the Complete Pro. And, although it’s aimed at riders with some skills, it is easy enough to trick ride for the absolute beginner. This is one of the most substantial scooters in our best pro scooter review yet feels light in the hand and easy to control. It can also take a larger adult of up to 260 pounds, so the kids don’t get to have all the fun.

The steel fork and handlebar are enhanced by the aluminum kick board for all round stability without losing any quick-turn maneuverability. The wide Y-shaped handlebar has also been heat forged for extra strength while still being comfortable to handle. And the bottom of the deck has smoothed to get you trick grinding and there’s the top rated ABEC 9 wheels. If solid, secure, sleek and durable with a fun, tricky side is on your wish-list for a pro scooter, then we think the VOKUL Complete Pro could be the one.

Our premium pick brings the pro riders’ spec into a quality leisure scooter that can step it up when the heat is on. At just shy of $160 it’s not cheap, but you are buying the engineering and spec that many of the top riders trust.

The quality of the whole scooter build is obvious from first look, and reinforced when you get on for your first ride. Designed to deal with the gnarliest of tricks, the TFOX Sig Pro freestyle scooter is also smooth thanks to the quality hollow core wheels and the stable but flexible aluminum deck. And its lightweight design means it’s also a speed demon, that can turn tricks on a dime. Buy it for the kids to impress their friends and then watch as their skills and enjoyment levels come on a pace. Or buy it for yourself and release your inner kid as you take it to the park for a blast. Great build and great fun, this is one pro scooter that’s worth its price tag.

Bright, fun and versatile, this stunt/freestyle scooter from the brilliantly named Swagatron is an absolute gem. Although coming in at around $50, this pro scooter looks and acts as if it’s more expensive and has been built to last. It’s a large scooter that can take riders up to 260 pounds so not just for the kids. And it is one of the best freestyle scooters on which to learn the ropes.

Super grippy hand grips and a wide bar boosts your control and handling while heavy duty 100mm PU wheels are braced and ready to take any impact. The wheels also come with an ABEC-7 rating for a smoother glide. Throw in a durable and lightweight frame, aluminum brakes and solid Naga clamp and you’ll soon be bunny hopping, smashing the 360 and tailwhipping like the best of them.
