PROTO Scooters – Wheels

NOTICE: Wheels are considered a “wear” part whose lifespan is determined by the condition of the ground being ridden as well as the level, style and frequency of riding which varies greatly from person to person. Wheels are warranted by the individual wheel NOT by the pair, even if purchased as a pair. Wheels cannot be modified in any way to qualify for warranty which includes painting or stripping the color from the core, drilling or cutting the core, dying the urethane or visibly-intentionally tearing the urethane from the core. NOTE: If all hardware is not properly tightened, the integrity of the wheels can become compromised and it is possible to void your warranty!

NOT-COVERED: Chips, cracks and small abrasions on or around the riding surface of the urethane are considered normal wear and tear and ARE NOT COVERED under warranty. Flat-Spots are considered user-error from excessive braking and are not covered under warranty. NOTE: BEARINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

COVERED: All wheels carry a 90-day urethane warranty (from the date of purchase) against chunking and de-hubbing. If a piece of urethane tears away directly from the core. AKA – “chunking” we offer a 1-time replacement of that part. Urethane must be physically separated from the metal core to qualify. See below for Dehub definition.

What is a “Dehub”?: A true “Dehub” is when the urethane comes off the core in 1 piece and leaves NO traces of urethane on the core. This means the only thing on the core is bare aluminum with NO urethane stuck on the core.
