Team NKD-scooters is a worldwide sports team for scooter riders. NKD-scooters house some of the most skilled PRO-scooter riders in the world. As a team and brand NKD-scooters have pushed the limits for what is possible in the scooter world.
All NKD parts for scooters are developed with modern technology by a team of skilled engineers, designers, and team riders. Danish engineers design and construct 3D models of NKD scooters, to ensure a solid structure. The engineers work in close collaboration with the most talented NKD team riders around the world. Inputs regarding everything from potentially weak spots in prototype scooters to rider-specific wishes are gathered from French, American and Australian team riders. With a huge testing department NKD promises durable and reliable scooters for everyone in the skate park. Parts and scooters from NKD scooters are always topped off with a crisp design developed by Danish graphic artists, with features down to the lightest detail.
In early 2020, the NKD entered the fight against climate change. Driven by a desire for less consumption and a better future for the next generation, NKD has stopped producing potentially polluting colors on the packaging - they have gone 'all natural'. We should all strive to live a life that spares the climate. With a scooter from NKD, you can be confident that you have made a sustainable choice that benefits all of us.
NKD scooters have been in the industry since 2004 (2004-2012 under the name NAKED scooters, after which they have used the abbreviation NKD-scooters). In their range you will find scooters and parts for new riders, as well as a large selection of PRO scooters and parts for those who have great requirements for their scooters.

NKD Scooters for Skatepark and Street
NKD Scooters are designed for riders who want to make the most of their scooter session, whether riding in the skatepark, on ramps or in the streets. Here you’ll find many models and parts suitable for beginners, intermediates and experienced riders alike. The focus is on balancing strength, weight and control, allowing you to learn new tricks and land more safely.
NKD scooters and parts are built for stunt riding but can also be used for short commutes. You can choose complete scooters that are ready to ride or upgrade with individual parts such as wheels, bars, clamps and decks to achieve your preferred setup.
How to Choose the Right NKD Scooter
When choosing an NKD scooter, it’s important to match the model and size to your height, skill level and riding style. It’s all about control, safety and durability, so the scooter doesn’t feel too heavy or unstable.
Pay special attention to these factors when comparing models:
- Bar height The handlebar height should typically be around hip to navel level, giving you good control and a stable landing position.
- Deck length and width A shorter, narrower deck gives faster spins and suits technical tricks, while a longer deck offers more stability.
- Wheel size Larger wheels around 110–120 mm roll faster and feel more stable, while smaller wheels are lighter and more manoeuvrable.
- Bearings and wheel quality Good bearings and a solid core ensure smooth rolling and better durability, especially for hard landings.
- Scooter weight A low weight makes it easier to perform barspins and tailwhips, but it requires strong materials to stay safe and sturdy.
For beginners, it’s often an advantage to choose a slightly more stable model with a suitable bar height and a deck that feels secure underfoot. More advanced riders can opt for a lighter setup with faster wheels that respond more sharply during tricks.
Level, Safety and Use of NKD Scooters
NKD Scooters include models for children, teens and adults. For younger or completely new riders, it’s important to pick a scooter that isn’t too tall or heavy so they can steer and brake safely. For experienced riders who ride hard in the park or street, material strength and assembly quality are crucial to withstand impacts, drops and repeated landings.
Regardless of skill level, you should always combine your NKD scooter with safety gear such as a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and possibly wrist guards. Regularly check the clamp, wheel bolts and compression system to ensure nothing is loose, and replace worn wheels and grip tape in good time for better traction and control.
The next step is to choose the NKD model that fits your height, experience and riding style, then head out to the ramps and put it to the test in practice.
