Back To Scooting
Kids' scooters take a hammering. Jumps, kerbs, crashes, and constant use wear them out. A quick repair can get another year of use from a good scooter.
💡 Pro tip: Check wheel bearings regularly - they're usually what wears first. Grinding sounds or slow-spinning wheels mean they need attention.
