"A kick scooter (also referred to as a push-scooter or scooter) is a human-powered street vehicle with a handlebar, deck, and wheels propelled by a rider pushing off the ground with their leg."
The main components of a scooter, including the deck, handlebars, wheels, brakes, and fork.
Frame: The main structure of the scooter, typically made of metal or aluminum.
Handlebars: The bars used to steer the scooter.
Deck: The flat surface where the rider stands.
Fork: The part that attaches the front wheel to the deck and handlebars.
Wheels: The circular objects that allow the scooter to move forward.
Bearings: Small metal balls inside the wheel that allow for smooth rotation.
Brakes: The system used to slow or stop the scooter, typically located on the back wheel.
Headset: The part that allows the fork and handlebars to rotate smoothly.
Grip tape: A textured surface on the deck to help the rider's feet grip the scooter.
Clamps: The part that attaches the handlebar to the fork.
Axle: The rod that runs through the center of the wheel.
Pegs: Attachments to the deck or axle that allow the rider to perform tricks.
Suspension: A system that absorbs shocks and impacts, typically found on more advanced scooters.
Tires: The rubber layer surrounding the wheel that provides grip and cushioning.
Kickstand: A device that allows the scooter to stand upright when not in use.
Grip: The handles on the handlebars for the rider to hold onto.
Brake pads: The removable rubber pads that make contact with the wheel to slow or stopping the scooter.
Fork Compression: A system that tightens or loosens the fork to help control steering.
Lighting: Optional feature that grants better visibility.
Bearings: The tiny metal balls located inside the wheel that allow a smooth rotation.
Frame: The main structure that supports and connects all other parts of the scooter.
Handlebars: The steering mechanism that helps to maneuver the scooter.
Wheels: The circular components that come in different sizes, which help with movement and stability.
Tires: The rubber material that covers the wheels, providing traction and preventing slipping.
Brakes: The mechanism that helps to stop or slow down the scooter.
Forks: The parts that attach the front wheel to the frame and help to absorb shocks.
Deck: The flat surface that the rider stands on, usually made of sturdy material like aluminum.
Bearings: The parts that allow the wheels to rotate smoothly.
Grips: The handles that the rider holds while riding the scooter, usually made of rubber or foam.
Headset: The parts that connect the handlebars to the forks and frame, and help to steer the scooter.
Clamp: The part that connects the handlebars to the deck and provides stability.
Axle: The shaft that connects the wheels to the frame and allows them to turn.
Kickstand: The part that supports the scooter while it is not in use.
Lighting: Various lighting components (headlights, taillights, etc.) that help to make the scooter visible and improve safety while riding.
Batteries and charging components: Power cells that store energy for electric-powered scooters and charging components to recharge the batteries.
