If your teenage son is begging for a motorcycle but you’re unwilling to give him a vehicle that could easily take his life, you can prevent your son from rebelling by giving him the next best thing: a custom scooter to make him the kid with the coolest ride in town!
Stickers The cheapest way to give your son a custom scooter is by distinguishing it from the rest of the scooter population with stickers. Of course, don’t just place any decal on it; you need to consider your sons interests and find a sticker that can reflect them.
When choosing stickers, consider where you’re sticking them. Size definitely matters: a small sticker suits the tube parts of your sons scooter while bigger ones are best displayed on the frame of your sons scooter. Caution your son from using too much stickers, because they’re just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your plans for his custom scooter.
Getting a Paint Job Although paint jobs for cars can be terribly expensive, they’re not that costly when it comes to scooters. You have two choices if you wish to give your sons custom scooter a paint job: change of colors or creating artwork.
A change of color doesn’t have to be a change from one color to another. You can also use two or more colors to create patterns like racing stripes or plaids; it all depends on your sons preferences. You can also use special tones for your sons custom scooter by going for metallic shades, pearlescent tones, or even chameleon colors.
If you go for artworks, you have to choose which materials you wish to use on the custom scooter: ordinary or spray paint? Artworks may be printed on stickers as well. Choose this type if you think your sons likely to have it replaced after a while.
Hardware Changes and Accessories You can add a storage compartment or basket to the custom scooter for your sons books. If not that, then you can add a cell phone or cup holder at least.
Replacing the stock rims are also a good way of customizing your sons scooter, but be sure to ask your sons opinion about it. The variety of rims available can easily make your respective tastes miles apart!
Handlebars can be also changed not only to make them more stylish but easier to grip as well. Lastly, you can change the seat to make it more comfortable or durable.
Once you’re done with all these changes, your sons custom scooter is ready for gift-wrapping. And don’t worry, your sons sure to appreciate all the effort you’ve done for his gift!
