Scooter handlebar
Choose the right handlebar for your scooter - Material and height
Choosing the right scooter handlebars is critical to your riding comfort and performance when performing tricks. There are three main materials to choose from:
-
Aluminium : A lighter material that gives you faster and smoother steering. Perfect for riders who want to do technical tricks and have a light scooter. The disadvantage is that the aluminum handlebars are not as durable as other materials.
-
Steel : If you prefer durability, steel is the right choice. A steel handlebar is heavier, which provides better stability and control, especially for riders who perform aggressive tricks or do a lot of street riding. However, the extra weight can make the handlebars somewhat more difficult to maneuver during technical tricks.
-
Titanium : The best of both worlds – light as aluminum but almost as durable as steel. Titanium handlebars are more expensive but offer the perfect balance between weight and durability, making them an excellent choice for serious riders.
The right height for your handlebars
Choosing the right height for your handlebars is just as important as the choice of material. The height of the handlebars depends a lot on your riding style and preference, but as a general rule, the handlebars should be somewhere between your hipbones and navel when you're standing on your deck. A handlebar that is too high can make it more difficult to perform tricks and can lead to less control of your scooter.
- Higher handlebar : Good for riders who prefer cruising or street riding, where stability is important.
- Lower handlebar : Perfect for technical riders who do a lot of tricks, as it provides better control and manoeuvrability.
Keep in mind that a handlebar that is too high can give an unstable feeling, so if you are not sure what suits you best, you can always contact Wallride for help and advice.
