Im looking to buy my 9 year old a stunt scooter for his birthday but don't know anything about brands.
I have previously bought him the fold-able razor brand scooter and upgraded bearing and wheels but now he wants a stunt one?
I believe they have solid handlebars (not fold-able)and built a lot stronger.
can anyone help me out with some good brands that will last.
thanks

Yeah solid one for sure.
they have the foldable ones and they look really dangerous (as in weak) when they are jumping of stuff.
It really depends on how much you really want to spend, I personally never got into scooters when I was younger but the go to brand seems to be MGP (Mad Gear Pro) such as this:

The 'stunt' scooter is usually called a freestyle scooter.
If you go on skaterhq.com.au they have a range of complete scooters they come with everything needed for a reasonable price though the cheaper options such as MGP you may want to purchase a set of metal core or alloy core wheels as these tend to add durability and strength as you can break the plastic centers of the wheels. I have dealt with these guys for some skateboard gear and they were awesome to deal with.
Any more help needed let me know!
Cheers for the info, it gives me a start.
the boys like there scooters and have the YAK wheels and abec9 bearing as upgrades, dam they spin forever!
I know nothing about scooters, even bmx brands have changed since i was a kid so im totally lost.
razor is the main brand AFAIK. Some of the "pro" models have a better weight limit and have solid handlebars. Also work out if you want it folding or not. The folding ones are more compact, but arguably weaker. I used to have a folding one, but i hindsight a solid one would have been better as i very rarely folded it up.
