Scooter Axles
Varieties of Scooter Axles
Explore options for a replacement scooter axle if your original wheel bolts are damaged or becoming rounded. The function of the axle is to secure the wheels to the stunt scooter in a robust manner that preserves speed. Axles for the front are referred to as fork axles, while those at the rear are known as scooter rear axles.
Typically, axles are made from steel and aluminium. Steel offers greater strength, whereas aluminium provides a lighter option, so the ideal stunt scooter axle depends on the rider’s personal preferences and style of riding.
What is the Size of Scooter Axles?
A common query is, what size do scooter axle bolts need to be? The usual scooter bolt diameter is 8 mm, although sizes also include 6 mm, 10 mm and variations in-between. Measuring your old scooter axle bolt before buying a new one is advised, ensuring you purchase the correct length.
Pegs Can Be Mounted on Axles
The majority of scooter pegs can be adapted to suit almost any deck using spacers and the proper axle. When you purchase scooter pegs, they may include an axle to facilitate correct installation. The axle size is determined by the number of pegs you wish to install on each axle and the type of deck and fork used.
