If you’re a true scooter rider you know what aluminum bars are and why most kids want to at least try them. They’re so light and easy to barspin. Something a lot of kids don't realize is the fact that aluminum bars are standard on the inside but oversized on the outside. You may think to yourself “well how could this be”. Well, since aluminum is weaker you have to make it thicker which right there makes it standard on the inside and oversized on the outside. A little tricky to picture unless you have a pair for yourself. Basically...

Pegs are a fairly new thing to the industry. It wasn't until aftermarket parts came out that you really started to see companies produce pegs.

With backsweep, your knees can better fit around the bars and the bars sit...

Just kidding I really don't know because every person is different but I will tell you which grips 99% of scooter riders pick to ride. ODI softies! Yep, you most likely guessed it.

Alot of people were complaining about them being too hard at...
