Envy Colt Scooter Review
Features of Envy Scooter
The Envy Colt S4 Scooter is a best-seller due to it’s durability and awesome features. Check out what all this scooter has to offer, a quality scooter with quality parts.
Deck
Prodigy 6 Series Alu deck with angle 82.5° and Width 120mm/4.7″, length 495mm- This scooter deck is made wider and has more foot room, which is one of its best features. It’s also front plate ready and is improved over their last deck. The deck is the main foundation on which the entire scooter is built and so it’s imperative that it’s strong and durable. Try to land your tricks evenly on the deck, prolonging its lifetime. TIP: Griptape can be replaced as often as you’d like. Just remember to clean the deck well before reapplying.
Wheels
110mm Metal Core wheels 86A PU ABEC 9 Bearings- The Envy Colt Scooter has solid core wheels; it’s a massive core for maximum durability. 110mm wheels improve speed and performance. Here’s a couple of tips for your wheels: Asphalt is always going to be harder than your wheels; blocking a rubber wheel will cause a bald spot. Furthermore, always replace wheels when they get worn down. While doing this Envy Colt Scooter review, I read a pro scooter review that said having the 110mm wheels was completely unheard of on entry level pro scooters.
Clamp
2 bolt COLT Clamp- Although this is a somewhat basic clamping system, it is still a good clamp to have on your pro scooter. There are several types of these compression systems. There’s Hidden Internal Compression (HIC), Internal Hidden Compression (IHC), Standard Compression System (SCS), and Inverted Compression System (ICS). This scooter utilizes the IHC which means it is built into the fork. Remember to keep your clamp tightened; always check it before riding.
Fork/Headset
IHC 4130 Heat treated Two Piece fork, Fully Sealed Integrated Headset- The headset is a crucial part in all scooters. Mounted in the headtube on the deck, the headset will allow the bar to spin freely, aiding in freestyle scootering and mastering tricks. The integrated headset provides a cleaner fit and ensures ideal alignment for smooth fork rotation. The fork is lightweight and made of aluminum. In addition, it aids in steering and handling. TIP: The forks are angled backwards wiht the front wheel swept back in order to keep the steering more stable.
Bars
Bar Height/Width, 22.8″ x 20.5″ (580 x 520mm) Bar Material, Steel- These bars are taller than the bars on their last scooter. Also, the bars are one piece instead of two, so you won’t ever have to worry about them coming lose. These are a little heavier, since they are made out of steel instead of aluminum. Aluminum bars are more fragile, though, so this is an advantageous trade. Riders are generally extremely particular about their bars, so make sure the height, width, and shape are right for you. These new style handlebars make this scooter more lightweight and even better balanced.
Brake
As far as I can tell, this scooter doesn’t have a brake. Most scooters have a flex brake (foot pedal) or a hand brake and this one doesn’t seem to have either. A lot of pro scooter riders will conveniently use their shoe on the rear wheel to stop. If you do this, make sure you wear shoes with thick tread. Of course, if you’re not going too fast, you can just step off. In any case, if a scooter doesn’t come with a brake and you want one, you can always install one. Try it without first, because this scooter is already a bit heavier. Adding brakes would also add to the weight. Choose what feels best to you and be safe.
Weight
8.27 Pounds- This scooter is only a few ounces heavier than the Grit Flux Pro Scooter and is made for intermediate riders. The weight will definitely have an impact on freestyle scootering and doing tricks, so just make sure pick a weight that’s best for your abilities. Then, as with anything else, practice makes perfect.
PROS:
- #1 selling scooter
- Best Intermediate Scooter For All Ages
- New, improved, wider deck
- 110mm wheels, unheard of on entry level pro scooters

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I’m 6 feet tall; would I be able to ride it?
Answer: The scooter was purchased for my 8 year old son, but I too have ridden on it and I’m six feet tall. It really fits most anyone. My son’s elbows hang below the handlebars and my elbows are above, but there’s never been a problem with stability for either of us. Hope this helps.
What are the six hex bolts on it?
Answer: 5 millimeter
