Important Information Before Buying a Stunt Scooter

Built for Tricks, but Not Indestructible

A stunt scooter is built for learning and performing tricks, but it has limits. Jumps, hard landings and impacts put its parts under stress. How quickly they wear depends on how often you ride, where you ride and how you land.

Before buying, check what the model is designed for, the manufacturer’s recommendations and its maximum rider weight. Choose a scooter that suits your height, ability and the riding you want to do.

Wear and Looking After Your Scooter

Wheels, bearings, grips, grip tape and brakes wear with use. The deck, handlebars, fork and other components also take repeated loads and may eventually need replacing. Regular maintenance helps you spot loose connections, wear and damage.

Normal wear and tear from proper use is expected. On its own, it does not mean the scooter is faulty or that a claim under your statutory consumer rights must be accepted. We assess each claim individually, taking the cause of the damage and applicable law into account.

Connections can work loose as you ride. Adjust them as directed in the manufacturer’s instructions, and avoid using excessive force. Overtightening bolts can damage parts or stop them from moving properly.

Assembly and Checks Before You Ride

If your scooter needs assembling, follow the manufacturer’s instructions before your first ride. Even a fully assembled scooter needs checking before use. If you are unsure about the assembly or any adjustment, ask a qualified mechanic for help.

Before every ride, check that the bolts and axles are secure. Inspect the clamp, handlebars, fork, deck, wheels and headset, and make sure the brake works properly. Look for cracks, bent parts, unwanted play and other signs of damage. Check the scooter again after a hard impact or a fall.

If you find damage or unwanted play, stop riding. Find out what caused the problem and have it put right in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations before riding again. Cracked or bent parts may need replacing. Do not assume they can be safely straightened or repaired.

Ride Within Your Ability

Stunt riding involves a risk of falling, getting hurt and damaging your scooter or other property. Start with tricks that match your ability and build up gradually.

Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, use the scooter for its intended purpose and respect the rules wherever you ride.

Accidents and Liability

RMDBike is not liable for injuries or damage caused solely by rider error, a fall unrelated to a product defect, a collision with an obstacle, or use that goes against the scooter’s intended purpose or instructions. This also applies where the sole cause is incorrect assembly by the user, lack of maintenance, modifications made by the user, or continued riding after noticing damage or unwanted play.

This does not exclude or limit RMDBike’s liability for a product defect, a service carried out incorrectly, or anything else for which we are responsible under applicable law.

Damage, Claims and Your Rights

If your scooter is damaged, the cause matters. When assessing a claim, we consider the product’s condition, how it has been used, assembled and maintained, and any modifications. Doing tricks, having a fall or replacing a part does not automatically mean a claim will be accepted or rejected.

The information on this page about riding risks, wear and maintenance does not exclude or limit your statutory consumer rights, including your rights when goods do not conform to the contract.

If your scooter comes with a warranty, check the warranty provider’s terms. Your warranty rights are separate from your statutory rights against the seller.
