Stunt Scooter Protection Size Guide
Choosing the right size protection is important for both comfort and safety. Protective gear that fits properly stays in place during falls and provides the best protection when riding.
In this guide we'll explain how to measure for scooter protection, how different types of protection should fit, and how to choose the correct size for helmets, knee pads, and other protective gear.
Why Protection Size Matters
Protection only works properly when it fits correctly. Gear that is too loose can move during a fall, while protection that is too tight can feel uncomfortable and restrict movement.
The correct size protection helps:
• keep pads securely in place
• improve comfort while riding
• provide proper impact protection
• allow full movement when riding
A good fit means your protection stays comfortable while still protecting the areas it is designed for.
Now, all brands fit slightly differently, so here we will breakdown size guides for each brand we stock.

Frequently asked questions
Protection should feel snug but not uncomfortable. Pads should stay in place while riding and not slide around easily.
Use a tape measure to measure around your head just above your eyebrows. This measurement gives your head circumference and determines helmet size.
Knee pads should sit securely around the knee without sliding down while riding. They should allow comfortable movement but stay in place.
Helmet size depends on head circumference, not age. Always measure the rider's head and compare it to the helmet sizing chart.
If you fall between sizes, most riders choose the slightly smaller size so the protection fits securely. However, we offer 30 days returns for exchanges, so if it's not quite right you can always swap for another size.
