FAQs
What does a scooter fork do?
Forks are an often down played scooter part but they are very important to your complete scooter set up. On the surface level your fork holds your front wheel in place and provides the base for what your clamp straps too. What most riders don’t realize is that the fork balances your entire front end. A heavy fork will play a critical role in how your scoot reacts when you are flying through the air throwing combos.
Your fork also needs to be very durable because your weight is constantly being thrown at onto the fork. Since your forks steer tube connects to the clamp depending on the compression system that you choose you to want to select the fork based on your preferences. Grab a steel fork if you are an entry-level rider but if you are advanced select one of the aluminum forks above from our list of the best forks for this year.
How to change scooter forks?
To remove your fork you need to remove your handlebars first, once the bars are off the scooter you need to unscrew the compression cap. When you remove the compression bolt and cap you will now be able to slide the fork from out the bottom of your head tube. Remember to keep all your components orderly during this step as if you don’t you might have a hard time putting the fork or your new fork in properly.
Another thing to remember is that since not all forks are the same…one fork might require a crown race and another fork might have on integrated. Likewise, one scooter might need a star-nut installed while another one will be integrated. Therefore it is very important to know which requirements your set up will need. A solid way of finding this out is the manufacturer’s website or by calling your local scooter shop.
How to take off a scooter fork if its SCS?
Changing the fork out on your pro scooter is going to be a little easier if you are riding an SCS compression system! Instead of running through all of the steps in the above guide like removing the compression cap and compression bolts you get a more straight forward route.
Simply grab your Allen keys or scooter tool and start removing the lower bolts on your SCS clamp system. Once these bolts are loosened enough your fork should slide right off. The simplistic nature of the SCS system is what makes it so lightweight because there are no inner workings, star-nuts, compression bolts or compression caps simply a clamp that grabs the forks steer tube and the scooters handlebars (which are always standard with no slit cut in).
If a scooter running an scs compression system had bars with a slit cut in them installed the scs system would fail. The vice grip-like hold placed on the bars would cause the bars to give making them incapable of being held onto. We’ve seen uneducated riders install bars with the slit into SCS compression and let me tell you it wasn’t pretty.
What is the lightest scooter fork?
Are you someone who has to have the lightest possible scooter set up? If you are then you are interested in getting parts not based on their durability or necessarily their styling but solely on the weight that they are adding or not adding to your scooter.

What should I look for when choosing pro scooter forks?

Are aluminum forks better than steel forks?

However, steel forks are generally more robust and durable than aluminum ones, making them a good choice for riders who frequently perform tricks and stunts.
Can I install pro scooter forks myself?
