Purchasing scooter grips
Grips are fitted on your bar. Just like on a bicycle, it is crucial to have complete control of your bar. Many different models are available, crafted from various materials. It ultimately comes down to personal choice.
Be aware: The internal diameter is identical across all grips, so they will fit any bars unless specified otherwise.
The image below displays two grips with bar ends.
Attaching scooter grips
Fitting grips can be challenging; here are some tips:
- Spray a liquid onto both the grip and the bar (such as window cleaner or hairspray). Allow it to dry!
- Utilise an air compressor to form an air pocket around the grip, which will enable it to slide on easily.
- If all else fails, visit a local bicycle mechanic, who can usually resolve the issue promptly.
Guidance and information on stunt scooter grips:
- Grips are replaceable components and should be changed when worn.
- Extra soft grips wear out more quickly and will need replacing sooner than other grips.
- You can use scissors to cut your grips off the bar or trim them to the desired length.
- Bar ends (the separate piece you insert into the bar) do not fit into aluminium bars due to the thickness. Nonetheless, you can make a cut in the bar end to force it into an aluminium bar.
- We advise using bar ends, as they prolong the bar's lifespan.
