An Inside-Look In The Zone

ScooterZone recently joined Inside-Scooters and we will be posting ALL updates regarding the ScooterZone Team, Parts, Events, and more.

I recently moved to Riverside,CA which is where the original ScooterZone is located...and I had a chance to stop by and get an inside look at how things go down at SZ. I also took plenty of pictures for you guys to check out.

The first thing I noticed when I walked into ScooterZone....it was packed. I did NOT expect this many people to be there. There were tons of kids with their parents, and all of them were spending quite a bit of money to get their hands on these custom made scooters made by the SZ staff.

It was pretty shocking to see first hand how much the sport is growing, seeing these young kids and their parents being interested in the sport, and investing into it just to ensure that their kid has a good scooter to ride was really cool to see. I even got behind the counter for a bit and helped out haha.

After that I headed to the back room, where the SZ staff really gets to work. It's back here where these guys have probably put together over 1,000 scooters. I mean from part to part...the efficiency they all have while doing this was amazing. They pay attention to every detail when putting a customers scooter together.

As I was sitting in the back I remembered that SZ had their own ramp set up in the back. So I thought I'd go check it out. It turns out that they needed most of the ramps to be resurfaced, but that didn't stop a couple of younger dudes from seshing it up. The set up looks pretty legit, and I know some of the SZ staff can really tear it up back there.

Overall, my experience at Scooter Zone was great...these guys are complete professionals at what they do. If you are anywhere in the Southern California area, and are in need of any kind of maintenance, are looking for a new set up, or just want to ask the guys a question...get to Scooter Zone. You won't be dissapointed.




Also if you guys aren't near Riverside, CA...and are a bit closer to Orange County...Scooter Zone just opened up a brand new shop there! Check the flyer below for more details.
