So Madis Kukk is a really cool dude from overseas. He started a company wayyy back called WEE scooters and they made some really good and strong bars. Its been dead for a while but hes bringing it back!!! This is what he had to say on the WEE website...
"Yes. They will be back. The OG bars with the goofiest name ever. WEE.
After putting emphasis on the local scootershop called REBEL since August 2009, we haven't had much time to generate more handlebars as other scooterdaddy companies were popping up with cheaper scooters and its parts, thus making it more available for younger riders at low cost, the scene has become way less mature over the past few years. It has become a trend rather than a culture.
With all the scooterdads and moms running the business side, the quality, strength and customizability of the products has become a secondary priority next to quantity of sales to most companies, but for us at WEE Scooters, a rider's needs come first: we started out as a group providing American and Canadian scooter parts for riders across the world due to the lack of local scootershops in non-US countries, but most importantly -- we specialized in making our own in-house custom made handlebars any size a rider wished for with more than 180 colors to choose for powdercoat so that every rider could design a handlebar for personal use according to one's preferences and requirements which have developed over the years after picking up a scooter.
No company has yet to reach that level still years later.
We will pick up where we left from: making custom-made handlebars again. From riders to riders. Say "NO" to trend-setters. Because we will say "no" to trend-whores that don't know what size bars they want, 'cause obviously they would be riding for the wrong reasons, it's just a waste of our time & effort. Even though the raw material costs way more these days with increasing service fees with all other shit etc, we will still be making some fresh bars again no matter what the cost is, 'cause not a single fuck is given. Just hardcore bars for hardcore riders.
So stay tuned for more news of our refreshing journey to our roots.
