Kick Scooter

Wheel size follows your skating style, not your skill — the smallest wheels aren’t the easiest. New to skating? A recreational skate with 76–84 mm wheels (around 80 mm) is the sweet spot: stable, smooth and forgiving. Only size up to 90–110 mm and beyond for speed and distance once you’re confident. Heads-up: the tiniest wheels (around 55–64 mm) are aggressive skatepark skates for grinds and tricks, not for learning. Within one style, smaller wheels are a little more stable and bigger ones roll faster.
