What's the difference between a freestyle scooter and a "normal" scooter?
The differences between a freestyle scooter and a classic scooter are quite similar to those between a BMX bike and a city bike.
A freestyle scooter has wider handlebars and smaller (and therefore more maneuverable) wheels. Its weight is also different (it's lighter) and it's more maneuverable: the aim being to perform tricks, the handlebars can make a complete turn, for example.
Finally, the freestyle scooter will also be stiffer and more solid.
How to choose the right size for your freestyle scooter?
To choose the right size for your freestyle scooter, stand on it and check that the handlebars are level with your hips, your arms are straight and your back is straight.

Why are there different wheel sizes?
100, 110 or 120 mm ? The larger the wheel diameter, the greater the rider's stability, enabling him to go faster...
The downside is weight. A larger wheel will be heavier and less easy to handle for tricks. Wheel size should therefore be chosen according to your objectives.
The brake
Spring-applied brake, easier to operate than a FLEX brake (used by experts and advanced riders)
The scooter complies with the EN 14619 standard. What does this standard cover?
Standard EN 14619 defines safety requirements and test methods for roller sports equipment.
Warranty
Freestyle is extreme, components get tired and need to be checked and changed regularly.
