A Root Industries scooter is built for riders who have moved past entry-level gear and need components that survive park, street and freestyle riding. Root uses aircraft-grade aluminium decks, forged forks and chromoly bars rather than the mild steel found in most beginner scooters, which keeps weight down as riders push into bigger tricks.
Xchange Sports stocks the Root Industries range online in Australia, with the Type R Mini and Type R Pro Complete dispatched from Sydney on a flat shipping rate.
Are Root Industries Scooters Good? What the Build Quality Says
Riders comparing Root Industries against other freestyle brands are weighing one thing: whether the components survive real riding rather than showroom conditions. The spec answers that without marketing language:
- 6061-T6 aluminium deck with nylon front and rear inserts, for a stiff platform that resists cracking under repeated impact
- Chromoly steel handlebars in a Y-bar shape, built to flex under load rather than snap
- Forged aluminium fork paired with an integrated AIR headset for steering response at speed
- 110 mm x 24 mm eight-spoke wheels with an aluminium core, sized for rolling speed across park transitions and street terrain
That specification places Root above the toy-grade scooters sold in department stores and alongside the rest of the pro scooters range.
Is Root Industries a Good Scooter Brand for Beginners and Intermediates?
Root sits above entry-level scooters but stays accessible to riders a month or two past their first push. The Type R range was engineered by folding features from several earlier Root complete models into one build, so a newer rider gets componentry originally developed for more advanced setups.
That makes it a sensible step-up purchase for a rider who has outgrown a toy-grade scooter but is not yet buying custom parts individually. A rider still at the very start is usually better served from the kids scooters range.
Root Industries Type R Mini Scooter
The Root Industries Type R Mini is a two-wheel freestyle scooter scaled down for smaller riders who still want Root deck and fork engineering. It carries aluminium deck construction and chromoly bar material in a shorter, lighter frame, which suits younger or smaller riders who find a full-size pro scooter too tall to control confidently.
It sits within the 2 wheel scooters range and comes in Black Matte and Rocket Fuel.
Root Industries Type R Pro Complete Scooter
The Root Industries Type R Pro Complete is the brand’s full-size build, sold ready to ride out of the box. Riders who want a complete scooter rather than sourcing bars, deck and wheels separately get a matched setup:
6061-T6 deck, chromoly bars, forged fork and 110 mm eight-spoke wheels, in Gold Rush, Matte Black or Rocket Fuel. This is the model most often compared against other complete scooters on spec sheets, since it represents Root’s core street and park build.
Type R Mini vs Type R Pro Complete — Which One Suits Your Rider
Parents ask the same three questions here, so the table answers those rather than restating the spec sheet.
| Type R Mini | Type R Pro Complete | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it fits | Smaller and younger riders | Standard teen and adult riders |
| Bar height | Shorter | Full-size |
| What they can do on it | First tricks, flat ground, small ramps | Park lines, street, bigger drops |
| Choose this when | Your rider is still growing into a full-size deck | Your rider is riding the park regularly |
| Colourways | Black Matte, Rocket Fuel | Gold Rush, Matte Black, Rocket Fuel |
Choose on bar height against the rider’s own height, not on age. Bars that sit too low restrict control during tricks, and bars that sit too tall make the scooter harder to steer in the air. Bars should reach somewhere between the rider’s waist and lower chest when they stand on the deck.
Riding Gear to Add Before Checkout
A scooter this capable gets ridden hard, which makes protection part of the purchase rather than an upsell. A dual-certified lid from the scooter helmets range covers both bike and skate use, and wrists take the impact in most scooter falls, the kids protective gear sets cover wrists, knees and elbows in one order.
Buying a Root Industries Scooter in Australia
Xchange Sports ships the Root Industries range Australia-wide from Sydney, with a flat shipping rate and a 30-day returns window on unused stock.
Because Root sells decks, forks, bars and wheels as individual parts, a complete scooter bought here gets serviced and upgraded piece by piece rather than replaced outright when a part wears out. Over two or three seasons that is a real cost advantage over a disposable beginner scooter.
