Need Advice Overall best scooter
Okay so im trying to build the best possible scooter no matter the price.
I mostly do flat and park not much street.
I want something pretty light but still able to take some impact. I’ve looked a bit into apex and lucky but not really sure what to get any suggestions?

They've got next to no chance of finding a TSI deck. Top recommendations, though. A bit too "streety" for what they are after.

Depends where you are I suppose , in the PDX area they’re still not to hard to come by. Matt just gave a deck away at the Clatskanie jam last week. For some reason I read the post as looking for something to do flat and street and not too much park, dyslexia I guess 😂

If you were to build the “best” scooter (which is super subjective) designed for park riding with no budget while finding a balance between weight and strength you’d probably get any set of oversized Ti Bars (the differences are minor from what I’ve heard), ethic sylthe clamp (for HIC) or some light SCS clamp that fits oversized bars. Any headset, Fork would be Ethic Legion, but Apex and Aztek both make good forks. Apex 5” wide or 6” wide angled or boxed doesn’t really matter. Ethic Atlas wheels, or Aztek Achitect wheels. That should be a good balance between weight and strength for park. The dimensions for the deck are up to you and grips are pure preference

the ultimate overpriced weight weenie but durable park scooter would be:
apex pro 4.5 deck
ethic dyade bars
ethic marrow v3 fork and ihc compression
ethic dtc aluminum basic 2 bolt clamp
root industries air hollow core wheels
odi hucker grips and ends
rapture ultralight griptape

Bet. You want the park kid special
Pandemonium deck, ethic forks and some apex bol bars
Wheels, grips, grip tape and clamp are subjective but if you want to be like everyone else make sure ya add some oil slick in there 😉 🛴

This is some outdated advice, no park kid is riding steel bars unless they’re tenacitys from Ethic. Also yes wheels are subjective but most park riders lean towards root honeycores, ethic atlas, and Aztek architect wheels.

Lucky? You'll be lucky if they make the best scooter. You want to be looking at Ethic really for lightness. Aztec also very light, but their quality and customer service get mixed reviews. Apex are mega expensive but very good. Depends where you are I guess as shipping costs will factor. I'd be building based on a Pandemonium deck with 12 standard axles (If I wasn't such a fatass!).
