Stunt Scooter Griptape

What is Scooter Griptape?

An essential component of your setup, scooter griptape ensures your feet stay in place while riding. It keeps your feet secured to the deck, particularly during tricks, providing additional grip to safely land and enhance your control. Besides offering grip, scooter griptape is a fantastic way to personalise your deck and give your setup a distinctive appearance.

Stunt Scooter Griptape - Pre-Cut, By the Sheet or in a Whole Roll

Your stunt scooter griptape will inevitably wear out over time. If the tape becomes smoother and loses its grip, it's time for a replacement.

When purchasing new griptape, options include pre-cut, by the sheet, or in a whole roll. Pre-cut tape is model-specific and ready for immediate attachment, requiring no adjustments. For those keen on a bit of personalisation, buying by the sheet or in a roll offers a cost-efficient choice, allowing you to share the tape with mates.

How Do I Install Scooter Griptape?

Before adding new griptape to your deck, ensure the old tape is removed. A hairdryer can help loosen the existing tape. Lift a corner using something sharp, like a pocket knife. Cut your new griptape to approximately the correct size, apply it to the deck, and use a knife for a precise fit.

Moreover, when fixing tape on scooters, it's crucial to avoid air bubbles. A smooth, bubble-free deck guarantees optimal durability and performance. Some griptapes feature perforations to assist in achieving this effortlessly. If you are uncertain about the installation process, watch the video in our Assembling a Scooter Guide where this topic is discussed.
