Hi, I realise this post is old however I am researching stunt scooters for my boy who will be 6 very soon. He is obsessed with tricks, stunts etc.
After reading perhaps far too much I have narrowed it to 3 - micro mx trix (which is slightly more than I really wanted to pay) the Grit Atom Pro or MADD Mini Kick Pro ll.
When we looked at bikes not so long ago I noticed how much heavier they were (looking at 20") He struggled to handle them purely because of weight. I live no where near any shops that sell these scooters so I don't know if a heavier scooter will be problematic. I also worry about size of foot plate-research says good for younger rider but surely only if your foot will fit. (Embarrassingly he scoots on a 'my first scooter' at the moment (2 wheel) and struggles now because it is too small. I personally over the yrs of buying scooters (not stunt) have ended up binning them as I get annoyed with the handles- either slipping down or twisting. This will be a major issue if purchasing at these kind of prices- is it normal for scooters or I'm I buying rubbish (always had razor except first scooter).Please help
