Aftermarket modifications

Aftermarket modifications
Aftermarket modifications have taken off since the increase of people getting into freestyle scootering. Most of these modifications are made to fit razor pro scooters, even though most scooters have the same measurements and dimensions, and are made to strengthen scooters and make freestyle scootering easier.

Wheels
Wheels are probably one of the most used modification, as they tend to snap and flatspot. Most wheels will have a plastic core and a urethane outside. A lot of people fill the insides of the plastic cores with hot glue. This is said to prevent cracking and strenghthen the wheels core. You can also get a more expensive type of wheel called metal-cores. These wheels have a thin urethane outside and a solid metal inside. These are meant to be the strongest wheels available.

Bars
Bars are usually made to strengthen your scooter and make freestyling easier. Most aftermarket bars are one-piece bars, instead of the stock 3-piece. Your 1 piece bar is a set of handle bars that are all connected and the handles are not-removable from the stalk.

handle grips
Handle grips usually come in a range of colours and textures, and are a little longer than BMX/mountain bike grips.

For many people, the stock bearings are not of freestyle composure, so aftermarket bearings are quite popular. Aftermarket bearings are usually the same bearings that skaters use, and will most likely come from a skate shop.
