Welcome back, scooter lovers!
With spring just around the corner, it’s time to get ready for an exciting new season of tricks, jumps, and skatepark adventures. Before you even get on your scooter, however, it’s important to give your stunt scooter a thorough maintenance to ensure optimum performance. In this article, we’ll share some helpful tips on how to clean and maintain your scooter, including replacing bearings and wheels.
Cleaning your Stunt Scooter
After a long winter break, your stunt scooter may have collected some dust and dirt. A thorough cleaning is the first step to getting your scooter back in top shape. Here are some tips:
- Use a soft cloth or brush to remove coarse dirt from your scooter.
- Clean the surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water to remove stubborn dirt.
- Avoid cleaning the bearings and wheels directly with water to prevent rust formation.
Replacing the Wheels
The wheels on your stunt scooter wear out over time, especially if you spend a lot of time at the skate park. If they are worn out or cracked, it is time to replace them. Follow these steps:
- Remove the old wheels by unscrewing the screws that secure them to the scooter.
- If the new wheels do not already have bearings, remove the old bearings from the old wheels and install them in the new wheels, or install new bearings.
- Place the new wheels on the frame and secure them firmly with the screws.
Replacing the Bearings
Bearings are crucial to the performance of your stunt scooter. Worn or damaged bearings can negatively affect speed and steering. Follow these steps:
- Remove the wheels from your scooter by unscrewing the screws.
- Carefully pull the old bearings out of the wheels.
- Install the new bearings and reattach the wheels to your scooter.
