PROTO

PROTO Scooters is a rider based freestyle scooter company founded by
Andrew Broussard in San Diego, California. Andrew grew up an action sports enthusiast then with the advent of the new aluminum push scooters in the early 2000’s he began trying to emulate the freestyle tricks he idolized in so many other action sports into this new medium. The scooters of that time were not designed to withstand the abuse of this new freestyle domain and required a bag of spare parts and tools along for every ride to be able to finish a session. Longing for purpose built freestyle scooter components that could withstand the demands of this new trick riding, he began the laborious task of modifying every part of a stock scooter to determine what characteristics were actually required and how to achieve them. After years of trial and error, designs refined and manufacturing knowledge learned, the world’s first freestyle scooter company was born, PROTO scooters.
