New Scooter!

[Joesh]

Hi guys
I am moving from BMX to scootering, and will be getting a scooter for Christmas! There is a rough budget of about £150, $235 for you US guys What do you think would be the best scooter for this budget? Thanks a lot,
Joe

Madd gear pro's or razor ultra pro's. Look on skatehut dude. Also do u go boardroom often?

 

[Joesh]

Aha, cheers mate I don't really like the team edition's y-bars but yeah, I've been a couple of times, but adrenaline alley is better!

 

[connor Donnelly]

mabye a crisp complete or a ultra pro

 

[Razzy]

v2i deck i saw a couple completes on here for sale

 

[Joesh]

Cheers guys crisp completes are like £250 though! Is the grit mayhem any good?

 

[Victor C.]

Apparently no, but I would get an ultra pro, and customize it. Leave the bars and deck though.

get an ultra pro, some cheap metal cores, any bmx grips, and some new grip tape.
that should be good for a while and it only costs about 175 USD.
if you want to make your scooter super dialed then spend a little more money and get a sealed threadless headset and a magray flex brake.

buy a fuzion elite and wait for something to break, and replace it.

I'd go with the Ultra Pro 60$ on Amazon, then do one of these two choices:

Plan A
Customize and leave threaded:

New bars 70$
New wheels 50$
grips griptape 15$
Flexy $20
Total:205$
This is cheaper but not exactly better, in terms of strength.


Plan B
Convert to threadless:

Proto SCS 60$
District Headset 31$
JB weld RUP forks (this will convert them to threadless) 7$
Paint bars 10$
Get new wheels 30$-50$
Grips and griptape 15$
Flexy (make your own)- 5$
Total:237$ max

I would spend a little extra and do plan B, it will be better in the longrun, but if you want extra money, plan a is the way to go.
PM me if you have any ?'s
Hope this helped
