Frequently asked questions
A good park scooter deck typically weighs 900g–1300g. Lighter decks like the Ethic Pandemonium, or Kaiza deck, help with overhead tricks and manoeuvrability. Slightly heavier decks are great for durability and lasting longer. Opting for a deck on the heavier side of that scale will offer a good amount of durability for heavy and consistent park riding.
Most park riders prefer decks between 18"–21" long and 4.5"–5.5" wide. Shorter, narrower decks are generally lighter and feel faster and more responsive. However, it's worth noting that if you're a taller or older rider (15+ or over 5'8), it's worth going on the larger side of these estimates.
Wider decks can work in the park but are usually better suited to street riding. Park riders often choose narrower decks because of the weight. However, something in the mid-range like 5.5", can work really well for hybrid riding if you also dabble in street riding like rails and grind boxes.
A park scooter deck is designed to be lightweight, responsive, and easy to control. Park decks are usually shorter and narrower. They often have a headtube angle around 82.5°/83° to aid in whippiness and comfort on ramps.
