Wondering where to buy super wide off road skateboard trucks?
As a skating enthusiast, you might want to upgrade your skateboard at some point. Or you may customize your ride with specific parts such as super wide off-road trucks, especially if you’re fond of riding on a rough surface or terrain.
Whenever you are looking to buy this sort of thing, there’s a good chance that your mind will head to Amazon.
However, Amazon isn’t the only ecommerce platform online, and it isn’t the only place where you can buy super-wide off-road skateboard trucks or anything to do with your skateboard.
In fact, in some cases, you may find that whatever you are looking for isn’t currently available on Amazon. When that happens, you need to have a host of alternative sources.
Here is a short list of some places where you can buy super-wide off-road skateboard trucks and almost anything else you may need for your skateboard.
Your Local Sporting Goods Store
Depending on where you live, you might have access to many local or national sporting goods stores that carry super-wide off-road skateboard trucks. Start by calling your local sporting goods store and asking them what options they have available.
Even if they don’t carry the exact product you need, it might lead to a useful recommendation. The experts in that store could know who else might carry what you need.
If you live in an area where you are lucky enough to have many national sporting goods stores, there’s a good chance that they will have what you need. Some of the most reliable options include:
Walmart
Walmart is the store that prides itself on carrying almost everything you might need. True to their word, they do carry almost everything, so it’s a good place to look for a skateboard truck. The best part is that you don’t even have to walk into an actual store. All you have to do is run a quick search online while logged on to their website.
For example, a quick search using the terms “off road electric skateboard trucks” gave a few results, with this Havoc Skateboard Trucks 5.25 Hangar (8.25″ Axle) Black – Set of 2 is one of the promising options.
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Dick’s is yet another excellent option. Just like Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods carries a wide variety of goods, but the best part is that Dick’s Sporting Goods, as the name suggests, focuses on sporting goods. Just like it’s the case with Walmart, you can run a quick search on their website to see if they offer what you need. If that proves futile, you can easily give them a call, and they will direct you accordingly.
Big 5 Sporting Goods
Big 5 Sporting Goods is just like the other two options mentioned. You can run a quick search on their website to find out what options they offer, or you could call them up and speak to an actual person.
Go Online
The options above are all about looking at your local sporting goods store. Even though it’s easier to check their websites or call them up, these are stores where you can walk into a land-based shop and speak to an expert.
This next option is to go online, which is probably where most people will go anyway. Here are some excellent options:
Amazon
Let’s start with the obvious choice. Amazon has millions of vendors looking to sell some of the most popular and even most obscure products on the planet. The best part is that it works like a search engine. A quick search on the platform with the terms “wide skateboard trucks” yielded hundreds of options, with these two being the most promising:
- L-faster Mountainboarding Skateboard Trucks
- L-faster Mountain Skateboard Conversion Kit with Stronger Motor Bracket Off-Road Board Truck
The best part about Amazon is that you can refine your search by a host of parameters such as price, color, and so on. Plus, you can get just about anything else you need there, too, whether it’s a skateboard wheel, replacement hub motor, larger wheels, a riser pad, pneumatic tires, grip tape, or a new deck.
Alibaba
Founded by Jack Ma, Alibaba rivals Amazon in terms of reach and product inventory. It’s online, and you can find anything available on Amazon here. For example, a quick search for wide skateboard trucks yielded these results:
The issue with Alibaba is that they prefer to sell things in bulk. So you would need to be highly specific if you only want a single skateboard truck or longboard truck. Another issue is the delivery time. Unlike Amazon where you can get your delivery within a day, Alibaba deliveries might take slightly longer.
eBay
eBay is steadily getting overshadowed by Amazon, but it’s still a good resource when you want to find products online. You might have to spend some time looking around, but it’s a good place to look for off road electric skateboard trucks, suspension trucks and many other things you might need, like grip tape or softer wheels.
Craigslist
Craigslist is yet another excellent resource. You can find all sorts of advertisements on Craigslist craigslist.org. The problem is you need to be very careful as most of the products on Craigslist are used and are being sold by private owners. Always find ways to verify whether or not the product is genuine before paying for it, and preferably have it delivered to a p.o. box as opposed to meeting in person.
Finally, you could easily become a member of any skateboarding online community. You might be lucky enough to find someone who knows someone who knows where to buy them. All it takes is just a little bit of research on your part.
