Pro Scooters Australia

Best Pro Scooters in Australia: Type R Mini vs Type R PRO
Choosing the best pro scooter comes down to one question — how tall is the rider today, and how hard are they going to ride it? Both completes below are built to the same standard: chromoly bars, forged aluminium fork, 110mm wheels and IHC compression. The difference is scale, not quality.
The Root Industries Type R Mini is the best trick scooter for riders aged 4 to 8. Pick it when your rider is under 130cm and still working through drop-ins, bunny hops and first tailwhips. Bars at 490mm keep the steering close and controllable while confidence builds.
The Type R PRO complete scooter is the best stunt scooter for riders 8 and above. Pick it when your rider measures 125cm or taller, rides the skatepark most weeks, and commits to tricks rather than testing them. The 580mm bars and longer deck give room to move during rotations.
Riders between 125cm and 130cm can ride either model. Size up to the Type R PRO if they are growing fast or riding more than once a week — the longer deck stays usable for years rather than months.
| Type R Mini | Type R PRO | |
| Best for | Learning tricks, first skatepark visits | Committed park and street riding |
| Rider age | 4–8 years | 8+ years |
| Rider height | Under 130 cm | 125 cm and above |
| Bar height | 490 mm | 580 mm |

Which Root Industries pro scooter fits your rider right now?
Bar height is the single most important spec when choosing a pro scooter for kids. A correctly sized scooter sits with its bars at or just below your rider’s hip bones. Root Industries builds two distinct sizes to match that measurement exactly.
The Type R Mini suits riders aged 4 to 8, standing under 130cm tall. Its bars sit at 490mm — the right height for a primary schooler learning to drop into a quarter pipe for the first time. The deck measures 120 x 440mm, giving small feet a stable platform without excess weight.
The Type R PRO suits riders aged 8 and above, from around 125cm tall. Bars extend to 580mm and the larger 123 x 500mm deck handles heavier landings and more committed trick attempts. Both models weigh 3.3kg, light enough to flick, strong enough for consistent skatepark sessions.
Pro Scooter Size Guide:
Choosing the right scooter size helps improve comfort, control, and safety while riding.
| Rider Age | Rider Height | Recommended Model | Bar Height | Deck Length |
| 4–8 Years | Under 130 cm | Type R Mini | 490 mm | 440 mm |
| 8+ Years | 125 cm and above | Type R PRO | 580 mm | 500 mm |
Measure the rider’s hip bone rather than guessing from age alone. Kids of the same age vary by 15cm or more in height, and bar height is what decides whether a stunt scooter feels controllable or unwieldy. If your rider sits right on the boundary, our team can confirm the right size before you order, call or email and we will check the measurement with you.
Stunt Scooter, Trick Scooter or Pro Scooter: What’s the Difference?
There is no difference. In Australia all three terms describe the same product — a fixed, non-folding scooter built for tricks rather than transport. “Pro scooter” is the retail term, “stunt scooter” is the term most parents search for, and “trick scooter” is what riders themselves usually say. Freestyle scooter and park scooter refer to the same thing again.
What matters is the build, not the label. A genuine stunt scooter has a welded one-piece deck with no folding hinge, chromoly or aluminium bars, a threadless compression system, and metal-core wheels. A folding commuter scooter has none of these and will fail at the hinge within weeks of skatepark use. Every scooter on this page meets the full specification.
Best Scooters for Skateparks and Ramps
A skatepark scooter has to absorb repeated impact at the deck, the headtube and the wheels. Root Industries reinforces all three: nylon deck inserts front and rear take the scrape of grinds, the reinforced headtube resists the flex that loosens cheaper front ends, and 110mm alloy-core wheels roll through transitions without flat-spotting the way plastic cores do.
For ramps and quarter pipes specifically, deck length is what decides confidence. The Type R Mini’s 440mm deck lets a smaller rider reposition their feet quickly on a drop-in. The Type R PRO’s 500mm deck gives a taller rider a stable base through airs and rotations.
Both models are equally at home on a driveway or a concrete park, so the scooter that suits your rider’s first skatepark visit is the same one they will keep riding at their local.
Which Pro Scooter Brands Are Worth Buying in Australia?
Pro scooter brands in Australia fall into three broad tiers, and the tier decides how long the scooter survives.
Department-store and general toy brands build to a price point using hi-ten steel bars and 100mm plastic-core wheels. They handle footpath riding but bend or crack under repeated trick landings, which is why they are usually replaced within a season.
Mid-tier scooter brands upgrade the wheels and deck but often keep threaded headsets and lower-grade compression, so the front end works loose during regular skatepark sessions.
Rider-owned brands like Root Industries build every part to withstand trick repetition — chromoly bars, forged aluminium forks, 110mm alloy-core wheels and IHC compression as standard rather than as an upgrade. That specification is the reason the same scooter is still rideable three seasons later, and it is why Xchange Sports stocks Root Industries as its pro scooter range rather than carrying a wide spread of budget brands.
If you are comparing brands across the wider category first, our guide to the best kids scooters in Australia covers every scooter type by age group.
What makes Root Industries Different from Budget Stunt Scooters?
- Root Industries uses chromoly steel handlebars on every pro scooter in this range. Chromoly handles impact stress through repetitive tricks without bending, standard hi-ten steel does not. The forged aluminium fork on both models adds structural integrity under hard landings.
- The 110mm x 24mm wheels with 8-spoke cores roll faster and absorb more vibration than the 100mm wheels on entry-level stunt scooters. The Root Industries AIR headset and Lithium Double Clamp IHC compression keep both scooters tight through hundreds of skatepark sessions.
- Root Industries backs both models with a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty on all structural components, a guarantee no competing Australian retailer currently advertises.
- These scooters suit skatepark riding and driveway practice equally. The non-folding deck stays rigid under trick repetition, where folding commuter scooters fail quickly.
Are Root Industries Pro Scooters for Sale Compliant & Safe for Australian kids?
Every scooter sold through Xchange Sports meets the mandatory product safety requirements enforced in Australia under the Australian Consumer Law. Verify mandatory standards for wheeled recreational devices on the Product Safety Australia.
Root Industries builds both models with a nylon brake tested for repetitive skatepark use, a reinforced headtube, and nylon deck inserts front and rear. Both arrive pre-assembled with no missing hardware.
Pair your scooter with a certified helmet before the first session. Under Australian law, a helmet complying with AS/NZS 2063:2020 is mandatory for all wheeled recreational device riding. Browse the Xchange Sports protective gear range [LINK: INSERT ACCESSORIES PAGE URL] for helmets, knee pads, and wrist guards.

Frequently Asked Questions of Pro Scooter
The Root Industries Type R Mini suits riders aged 4 to 8 years. Its 490mm bars and 120 x 440mm deck are sized for riders under 130cm tall. This gives young riders a genuine pro-quality setup scaled precisely to their body size.
The Type R PRO is built for riders aged 8 and above, from around 125cm tall. The 580mm bar height and larger 123 x 500mm deck handle heavier riders and more committed tricks at the skatepark.
Yes. All scooters sold by Xchange Sports meet the mandatory product safety requirements enforced under the Australian Consumer Law. Root Industries builds both models with chromoly steel bars, a forged fork, and a nylon brake tested for repetitive skatepark use. For the full list of mandatory standards for wheeled recreational devices in Australia, visit productsafety.gov.au.
Yes, both models arrive fully assembled and ready to ride straight from the box. No tools are required. Check the Xchange Sports shipping and delivery page.
There is no difference — the three terms describe the same product, and every scooter on this page qualifies as all three. What separates a genuine stunt scooter from a lookalike is the build: a welded non-folding deck, chromoly bars, threadless compression and metal-core wheels. Both Root Industries models carry the full specification, so you are not choosing between categories, only between two sizes.
Look at the components rather than the badge. The brands worth buying use chromoly bars, a forged fork, 110mm alloy-core wheels and IHC compression — the specification Root Industries builds as standard on both models here. Budget brands substitute hi-ten steel and plastic-core wheels, which is why they usually need replacing within a season. Xchange Sports stocks Root Industries for exactly that reason.
Most riders aged 9 and up fit the Type R PRO, with its 580mm bar height and 500mm deck. Measure to the hip bone to confirm — bars should sit at or just below that point. Riders on the boundary between the two sizes should size up, since the larger deck stays comfortable through several growth spurts. Email or call us with the measurement and we will confirm the right model before you order.
You have 30 days to return or exchange it under the Xchange Sports money-back guarantee. If the bar height turns out to be wrong for your rider, contact us and we will arrange the swap to the other model. Both scooters also carry a 90-day manufacturer's warranty on structural components.
