In the world of pro scootering, weight is everything. Every gram you shave off your setup is a gram you don't have to fight through on a tailwhip or a manual. At Scooter Village, that obsession with performance is exactly why we built the Ethic Pandemonium Custom "Zero Gravity" — a complete that tips the scales at just 2.3kg, making it one of the lightest fully functional scooters on the market today.
We recently showed this build off on our Instagram, and the response said it all — riders want lighter, stronger, and more dialled, without compromise. Here's the full breakdown of why the Zero Gravity build earns its name.
The Foundation: Ethic Pandemonium Deck
Every lightweight build starts with the deck, and the Ethic Pandemonium (500mm) sets the tone immediately. Stripped back to a raw finish, this deck is engineered specifically to cut weight without cutting strength — a difficult balance that Ethic has spent years refining. The 500mm length keeps the geometry tight and responsive, ideal for riders who want quick, technical movement in the park or on the street.
Paired with the deck is the Ethic Wolpertinger Bars (670mm). These bars are built to match the philosophy of the rest of the setup: strong enough to take real abuse, light enough that you forget they're there.
Precision Steering: The Ethic Front End
Keeping the build light doesn't mean cutting corners on control. The Zero Gravity runs the Ethic Merrow Fork, a fork designed to maintain stiffness and steering precision while staying true to the build's ultra-light ethos.
Compression is handled by the SV Lite Headset, paired with the Ethic Sylphe Clamp. Together, this combination keeps the bars locked in tight and staying dialled ride after ride, without adding unnecessary bulk to the front end.
The "Zero Gravity" Personality
The raw aesthetic isn't just a look — it's a statement about what this build is for. Stripping back the paint and coatings is part of how the team shaves grams across the whole setup, and it gives the Zero Gravity an industrial, stealth-fighter feel that stands apart from the usual loud colourways.
For the finishing touches, we've gone with:
- Griptape: SV Side Logo Griptape – a clean, branded grip that keeps foot-lock solid without adding weight.
- Grips: Ethic Foam Grips – soft, lightweight, and built for long sessions without hand fatigue.
- Wheels: Ethic Atlas Wheels – matched specifically to keep the rotating mass down, which is just as important as the deck and bars when you're chasing a low overall build weight.
Why Choose a Scooter Village Custom?
Hitting a true sub-2.5kg build weight while keeping a scooter genuinely rideable is a technical balancing act — too light, and durability suffers; too strong, and you lose the whole point of the build. When you buy the Zero Gravity from us, you're getting a complete that's been hand-built by riders who understand that trade-off, with every bolt torqued and the compression dialled before it ever leaves our workshop.
Pro Tip: At 2.3kg, this is genuinely one of the lightest fully functional completes available — not a stripped-down show build, but a scooter ready to ride straight out of the box.
On a Tighter Budget? Meet the Erawan
If the Zero Gravity's premium build is a little out of reach right now, Ethic also makes one of the most trusted entry points into the brand: the Ethic Erawan V2 Complete Scooter. It's long been a staple in scootering for good reason, and the V2 update brings it right up to date.
- Deck: Ethic Erawan V2 Deck (500mm)
- Sizing: Available in Small and Medium to suit a wider range of riders
- Colourways: Black, Blue, Red, Brushed, and Oilslick
- Price: From $369.00
It won't shed grams the way the Pandemonium does, but it carries the same Ethic build quality and reliability at a fraction of the price — a solid choice if you want to get into a proper performance scooter without committing to a custom build straight away.
