Everything You Need to Know About the Right Size for Your Stunt Scooter

You're unsure how high the handlebar of your stunt scooter should be? Don’t worry – we’ll show you in a simple and easy-to-understand way how to find the ideal handlebar height for your scooter. Whether beginner or experienced rider – with these tips, you’ll be well prepared.

 

Why Is the Right Handlebar Height So Important?

A handlebar that is too high or too low not only affects your riding technique but also your safety. With the optimal handlebar height:

• you improve your balance,
• you have more control while riding and doing tricks,
• and you prevent back and wrist pain.

 

Guidelines for Scooter Handlebar Height

As a rough guideline:

The handlebar height should be between your hips and your belly button when you stand upright.

This way, you can quickly assess whether a scooter suits you – or not.

 

How to Measure the Right Handlebar Height

Variant 1: Measuring Directly

• Stand up straight.
• Take a measuring tape or folding ruler.
• Measure the height from the ground to:
• Hip = lower limit
• Belly button = upper limit
• The handlebar should be within this range.

Variant 2: Test with Scooter

If you already have a scooter:

• Stand on it,
• feel whether you're upright and relaxed while riding,
• the handlebar shouldn’t be too low (you lean forward) and not too high (poor control during tricks).

 

Tip for Beginners

For beginners, we recommend:

A slightly higher handlebar height within the guideline range,
for more stability and control while learning to ride.

 

Pro Tip: Adjusting Handlebar Height

Stunt scooters don’t have adjustable handlebars, as they need to be stable for tricks. Therefore, choose the right height from the start – or swap the bar for one that suits you better.

 

Avoid Common Mistakes

·    Handlebar at belly height for kids – too unstable
·    Scooter too small = wrong posture → risk of injury
·    Buying at random without measuring

Better: Measure before buying, or test it in a specialist store

 

Conclusion: The Right Handlebar Height – The Key to Fun & Safety

The optimal handlebar height is one of the most important factors when buying or setting up a stunt scooter. Especially beginners benefit from more control – and advanced riders focus on a sporty but comfortable posture.

Everything You Need to Know About the Correct Helmet Size

A helmet is essential when riding a Chilli Pro Scooter, skateboard or bicycle. Not just for your own protection, but also for a confident and safe riding experience. In this guide, you’ll learn how to find the right helmet, what makes a good helmet, and how to care for it properly.

 

Why a Scooter Helmet Is So Important

Whether beginner or pro – anyone doing tricks should play it safe. A high-quality stunt scooter helmet protects your head in case of falls and significantly reduces the risk of injury. Look cool and ride safe? No problem with the right model.

 

The Chilli Pro Scooter Helmet – Technical Details & Features

This helmet doesn’t just look sporty, it also packs a punch:

• Extremely lightweight: only 280 grams

How Do I Find the Right Helmet Size?

The right helmet size is crucial for protection – a helmet that’s too big can slip, one that’s too small will feel uncomfortable.

Here’s how to measure your head correctly:

What you need:

• A measuring tape

Step-by-step:

1. Place the tape around your head, just above the eyebrows and over the widest part at the back.
2. Hold your thumb where the tape overlaps.
3. Measure the length with a ruler or read it directly from the tape.

Chilli Pro Scooter size chart for guidance:

• Small: approx. 52–55 cm
• Medium: approx. 56–58 cm
• Large: approx. 59–61 cm

Example: With a head circumference of 58 cm, you’ll need size L.

 

Cleaning & Caring for Your Scooter Helmet – How to Keep It Like New

To make sure your helmet lasts as long as possible, you should care for it regularly:

• Outer shell: Wipe with a damp cloth
• Inner padding: Remove and hand-wash
• Closure & dial: Check occasionally for proper function
• Never leave it in the car – heat can damage the material

 

Conclusion: Safety First – But Make It Stylish

A good helmet is lightweight, comfortable, safe and stylish – like the model from Chilli Pro Scooters. Whether at the skatepark, on the street, or doing your first tricks: Always wear a helmet. No trick is cool enough for a concussion.

 

Extra Tip for Parents & Beginners

If you’re unsure: get advice at a specialty store or try out several sizes. A helmet should fit snugly but comfortably – and shouldn’t move around.

 

Stay safe. Stay smart. And: Helmet on, head safe!

Everything You Need to Know About the Difference Between Scooter Compression Systems

Riding a stunt scooter is fun – but to get the most out of your Chilli Pro Scooter, you should choose the right compression system. In this guide, we’ll explain the difference between the Chilli Spider HIC and the SCS compression system and show you how to install them correctly.

 

What Is the Difference Between Spider HIC and SCS?

Chilli Spider HIC

The Spider HIC is special because you don’t need a new fork when switching to another compression system.
HIC means that the handlebar has a slit, which is essential for compression.

SCS Compression System

The SCS system requires a special SCS clamp and a handlebar without a slit.
It’s mounted directly onto the fork, creating a very strong and stable connection.

 

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install the Chilli Spider HIC System

Required materials:

• Deck with headset bearings already installed
• Fork
• Spider HIC ring
• Spider shim
• Top cap
• Bolt
• Handlebar with slit

Assembly:

1. Prepare deck and fork: Connect the deck and fork. Make sure the bearings are already installed.
2. Attach Spider shim: Insert the Spider shim into the fork where the grooves are. Press it down to the bearing.
3. Tighten bolt: Insert the bolt through the shim and screw it into the fork. This compresses the Spider HIC system and holds everything firmly.
4. Insert top cap: Place the top cap on top to protect the bearings.
5. Mount handlebar: Slide the slitted handlebar onto the fork and tighten the clamp. The slit allows the handlebar to compress around the fork.

Done! Your Spider HIC system is installed and ready to ride.

 

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install the SCS Compression System

Required materials:

• Deck with headset bearings
• Fork
• Ring for the SCS system
• SCS clamp
• Top cap
• Handlebar without slit

Assembly:

1. Prepare deck and fork: Connect the deck with the fork by inserting the bearings.
2. Insert ring: Place the ring into the fork to protect the bearing.
3. Install top cap: Slide the top cap onto the fork to protect the bearings.
4. Attach SCS clamp: Slide the SCS clamp over the fork. Make sure the smaller diameter is at the bottom.
5. Tighten bolt: Insert the bolt into the fork’s thread and tighten it. The clamp will now compress the fork and hold the SCS system securely.
6. Mount handlebar: Insert the handlebar without a slit into the clamp and tighten the bolts.

Done! Your SCS system is installed and ready to ride.

 

Key Differences in Detail:

Feature	Spider HIC	SCS
Handlebar	With slit for compression	Without slit (otherwise the bar will slip)
Clamp	Not required, but shim necessary	SCS clamp for added stability
Compatibility	For HIC compression	Compatible with SCS compression
Fork	No changes needed	Requires SCS-compatible fork

 

Tips for Choosing the Right System:

• Spider HIC is great for beginners or riders switching from HIC to SCS without needing a new fork.
• SCS offers stronger and more stable compression, making it a preferred choice for experienced riders and advanced tricks.

 

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Compression System

Choosing between Spider HIC and SCS depends on your riding style and preferences. Both systems offer stable compression but work differently and require different components. Make sure to choose the right system for your scooter and check compatibility with your deck, fork, and handlebar.

Everything You Need to Know About Assembly – From Box to Skatepark

The Chilli Scooter comes eco-friendly packaged, usually with just two cardboard inserts and cable ties. Pay special attention when unboxing so you don’t lose any parts. Remove the cable ties and free the scooter from the packaging.

 

Step 2: Assemble the Scooter

1. Mount the handlebar:

• Place the handlebar onto the fork and align it straight. Make sure the Chilli logo is facing forward and upright.
• Screw on the clamp using the two Allen bolts. It’s best to tighten them with some pressure – but not too much, to avoid damaging the parts.
• Ensure the clamp is mounted on the correct side – the front wheel of the fork should be visible from the front.

2. Tighten the compression system:

• Tighten the compression bolt on the deck to compress the fork and the system. This ensures everything holds together firmly.

 

Step 3: Safety Test – Perform a Drop Test

Once the scooter is fully assembled, you should perform a drop test. Drop the scooter from a low height (around 10–20 cm) onto the ground and listen for any unusual sounds like rattling or cracking.
A properly assembled scooter should sound solid and quiet.

 

Step 4: Fixing Noise Issues

If you hear any noises after the drop test, they might come from the following areas:

1. Tighten the wheels:

Check the wheel axles. If there is any play in the wheels, simply tighten the axle bolts slightly to eliminate the noise.

2. Adjust the brake:

If the brake is loose, lift it up and check the two screws underneath. Tighten them using a size 3 Allen key.

3. Check the compression system:

If the handlebar becomes wobbly after a few jumps, slightly tighten the compression bolt to stabilize the system and eliminate the play.

4. Tighten the clamp:

Check if the clamp bolts are firmly tightened. If not, tighten them regularly to ensure safety.

 

Step 5: Regular Maintenance

It’s important to regularly check your Chilli Pro Scooter to ensure all parts are securely mounted and functioning properly. Here are some maintenance tips:

• Wheels: Regularly tighten the axles to prevent play.
• Brake: Make sure the brake is secure and working properly. Adjust if necessary.
• Compression: Tighten the compression bolt if the handlebar becomes loose.
• Clamp: Check the clamp and retighten it regularly to ensure a firm hold.

 

Conclusion: Keep Your Chilli Stunt Scooter in Top Shape

The Chilli Stunt Scooter is quick and easy to assemble. It’s important to make sure all bolts are tight after setup and that no noises occur.
If problems do arise, it’s usually a small adjustment to the brake, wheels, or compression system that can quickly fix the issue.

• Slide the axle back through
• Put the nut back on and tighten

4. Change the Front Wheel
The same procedure as the rear: loosen axle → remove wheel → insert new wheel + spacers → tighten axle

 

Watch Out for Wheel Size

Many scooter models (e.g., Chilli Reaper) are designed for 110 mm wheels — some also fit 120 mm wheels. Before upgrading to bigger wheels:

• Check your fork and deck — do bigger wheels even fit?
• Adjust your brake if needed — larger wheels usually require a bigger brake!

 

Conclusion: Wheel Replacement — Quick and Worth It

Changing wheels on your Chilli Pro Scooter is no rocket science — with the right tools and a bit of patience, you can get it done in minutes. New wheels not only boost your speed but also give you a completely new riding experience.

 

Extra Tip:

If your old wheels are worn unevenly, it’s worth checking your bearings too — maybe they need cleaning or replacing. Check out our bearing maintenance guide for more info!

Everything You Need to Know About Replacing Scooter T-Bars

Is the handlebar on your stunt scooter too short? Do you want a new design, a different material, or simply more comfort while riding? Then it’s time to change your handlebar — and we’ll show you how to do it easily!

 

What You Need to Replace the Stunt Scooter Handlebar

Before you start, check your tools:

• Allen key (usually size 5 or 6)
• New handlebar of your choice
• Shim (adapter) — only needed when switching from oversized to standard bars or depending on your compression system

 

Important Note: Check Your Compression System!

Not every handlebar fits every scooter! You need to know which compression system your scooter uses:

Compression System	Compatible Handlebar Type
HIC	Oversized bar with slot
SCS	Bar without slot, possibly with shim
IHC	Standard bar with slot + shim

Make sure to check diameter and slot before buying — otherwise, your new handlebar won’t fit!

 

How to Replace the Handlebar on Your Stunt Scooter [Step-by-Step]

1. Secure Your Scooter
Place your scooter on a stable surface or have someone hold it steady.

2. Loosen the Clamp
Use the Allen key to loosen the clamp screws.
Pull off the old handlebar.

3. Check the Compression System
Identify your system: HIC, SCS, or IHC.
If you’re switching from oversized to standard, install the shim.

4. Install the New Handlebar
Carefully slide the handlebar onto the fork or compression system.
Make sure it’s positioned correctly and aligned straight.

5. Tighten the Clamp
Tighten the clamp screws evenly — don’t overtighten!
Done.

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Changing Handlebars

• Wrong diameter → handlebar doesn’t fit
• Ignoring the compression system → handlebar feels loose or unstable
• Not using a shim → improper fit

Always check your system and handlebar specs beforehand, or get advice at your local scooter shop.

 

Conclusion: Handlebar Replacement Made Easy

Changing your stunt scooter’s handlebar is super simple with the right tools and a bit of know-how — whether you want a fresh look or a better fit.

Remember: Always check your compression system first to ensure your new handlebar fits perfectly!
