Magray Scooter Co. Update: Pegs




Magray Scooter Co has been working hard, and it's paying off. Below is a piece where Eric talks about their latest product in testing, Pegs. Check it out and also check out a picture of the new Magray Scooter Co Pegs.




Just another small update on the status of the first parts from Magray Scooter Co. First off I am happy to announce that the plastic pegs ride extremely well. Everyone who has a pair loves them and they are holding up better than I thought they would.



Just to test the toughness of these pegs I took one and beat it with a hammer! Haha, no it didn’t crack or break. After hitting it as hard as I could a few times it did begin to dent but did not crack at all. The pegs we’re still ridable!

To do more realistic testing of the pegs Jason Griffiths, Ryan Becker, and I rode hard all weekend. We seshed my rail as soon as we put the pegs on and they slid like crisco. We also rode center city Philly at Girard, Temple, City Hall, Spring Gardens, and Newtown skatepark too. These pegs took a whole lot of beating and have been performing very well. I personally intended to beat the life out of these things but they are strong, the only downside to these is that they aren’t suited for grinding rough dry ledges. Waxed ledges, rails, or any other smooth surfaces are not a problem.

The pegs are going into production next week and should be available the first week of March. The brakes will be available early March also. There have been a couple set-backs with those which is why the pegs will likely be out first but everything is taken care of now.




Good to see that they're making pegs. Peg riding is becoming really popular, and hopefully this will get even more riders into peg riding. For all your updates on Magray Scooter Co, keep checking Inside-Scooters.

  4. Nah, PVC = polyvinyl chloride. These are made of UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), which is much stronger.
