The UA Civic wheel by Urbanartt is specifically designed for stunt scooter riders who take big drops and need a wheel that can handle high impacts and lateral stress. The wheel features a thick PU for a soft feel while maintaining a good balance of speed and durability, as well as a wider contact patch for greater control and grip. Additionally, the full CNC two-piece hollow core technology reduces weight while maintaining compatibility with standard 24mm wheel cores.
The pack includes everything needed for installation, including:
1 pair of wheels
4 x 8mm bearings
4 x 12mm bearings
2 x 12-8mm conversion spacers
2 x 12mm wheel spacer
The colors of the wheels are coordinated with Urbanartt's Civic grips and grip tapes for custom completes, making it easy to match your wheels with the rest of your setup.

The size of your scooter plays a big role in how you ride and how much you can get out of your setup. The right
height provides better control, balance, and comfort - and makes it easier to learn new tricks.
Personal preference and style mean everything
Since the choice of height largely depends on personal preferences and riding style, there is no one perfect
size that fits everyone. However, we have created a guiding size chart based on the user's height and
a beginner level,
where the rider has not yet specialized in street or park riding.
The Broomstick Method - the safe way to find the right height
If you want to be completely sure that your scooter has the optimal height, we recommend the “broomstick
method”:
Hold a broomstick horizontally in the air.
Place it at the height where you prefer the handlebars when standing on the scooter (typically around hip
height).
Measure from the broomstick down to the floor.
Add approx. 5 cm - this corresponds to the height you're raised above the ground when standing on the
scooter.
Example: 78 cm (broomstick to floor) + 5 cm = 83 cm optimal total height
Freestyle scooters cannot be height-adjusted
Because freestyle scooters are used for tricks and hard landings, they are built as a fixed and strong
construction without adjustment mechanisms. Adjustable handlebars would compromise durability and
safety.
For all complete scooters in our webshop, you will therefore find the total height listed in the
specifications - measured from the ground to the top of the handlebars.
Street vs. Park - what should you choose?
Freestyle scooters are often divided into two styles:
Riding Style
Preferred Height
Recommendation
Park
Closer to the hips
For quick rotations and lightness
Street
Closer to the navel
For stability and control during grinds and drops
Summary - how to choose correctly:
User height + preference = starting point
Use the broomstick method for accurate measurement
Check the total height in the product specifications
Choose lower bars for park / higher bars for street
The amount of wheels in a package. A scooter needs two wheels, one for the front and one in the back. When your wheels are close to being worn down it might be an idea to consider buying some new ones, before it is too late.
Bearings:
Each wheel needs 2 pieces of bearings, which have to be pressed into the wheel if not already included. The quality of bearings is divided with ABEC. The higher the value, the better the bearings will run. For an example an ABEC-7 is better than an ABEC-5.
Wheel diameter:
The size of the wheels should depend on the way you ride. If your focus is a great experience, a sweet flow and nice speeds, then you need to go for larger wheels. If instead, you want fast reactions and improved control, then you will need to go for smaller wheels. It is important the wheel diameter fits along with the fork, deck and brake.
Weight:
The total weight of the wheels once assembled. Lighter wheels is a good idea if you want to do tricks with your scooter, however the durability lessens on lighter wheels compared to the heavier ones. Heavy wheels will therefore last longer, but the execution of the tricks will also be harder.
Wheel width:
The wheel width of your scooter impacts its grip and stability. Wider wheels offer greater stability and grip, ideal for ramps and park riding, while narrower wheels reduce friction and are preferred for technical street tricks. Always ensure the wheel width is compatible with your scooter's fork and deck.
Dirt scooters and scooters with bigger wheels typically have significantly wider wheels. These wider wheels provide enhanced traction, making them ideal for off-road surfaces or uneven terrain.
Core material:
Wheels of aluminum and nylon both has their advantages when it comes to quality. Wheels of aluminum are the strongest, but nylon wheels are the lightest. It is therefore smart to go efter nylon wheels if you wanna perform tricks on your scooter. If you on the other hand is using your scooter as a transport then aluminum wheels is the choice for you.
Core design:
There is various types of core designs: Solid and spoked. Solid core wheels are relatively heavy wheels, but at the same time more durable. Spoked wheels are lighter, but have slightly less durability.
Rubber material:
Polyurethane is a strong material that can handle more weight than plastic or metal. This also means it is more resistant to damage than other wheel materials. They also provide better shock absorption and are quieter, making them ideal for carpeted floors.
Wheel hardness:
A wheel's hardness is measured on the durometer scale, which goes from 0 - 100 A. 0 is the absolute softest while 100 A is the hardest. Hard wheels lasts longer and rides faster. Soft wheels wear down quicker, but has a much better grip and are perfect for parks and indoors usage.
Wheel profile:
A flat profile gives the best grip, where as the most narrow profile provides more speed for the wheels. The fork's look needs to match the wheel profile.
Wheel hub width:
The vast majority of scooter wheels have a hub width of 24 mm, which fits forks and decks with also 24 mm hub width.
Axle diameter:
Describes the diameter of the axle / bolt that will hold the wheel. The wheel in the ball bearings is intended for a specific diameter of the shaft / bolt.
