Purchasing Scooter Grips

Grips are installed on your bar. Similar to a bicycle, it’s crucial to maintain complete control of your bar. Many models are available, crafted from a variety of materials, and the choice largely depends on personal preference.

Note: All grips have the same inner diameter, ensuring compatibility with all bars, unless otherwise noted.

Installing Scooter Grips

Installing grips can prove tricky; here are some suggestions:

• Apply some liquid (such as window cleaner or hairspray) inside the grip and on the bar. Allow it to dry!
• An air compressor can be used to form an air cushion around the grip, enabling it to slide on easily.
• If difficulties persist, visiting a local bicycle mechanic might be helpful—they can usually resolve it quickly.

Tips and Information on Stunt Scooter Grips:

• Grips are parts that can be replaced and should be changed once worn.
• Extremely soft grips tend to wear out quickly and require more frequent replacement than other types.
• Scissors can be used for removing grips from the bar or adjusting them to the desired length.
• Bar ends (the additional component that is inserted into the bar) often do not fit into aluminium bars due to bar thickness. However, a cut can be made into the bar end to allow insertion into an aluminium bar.
• Riding with bar ends is recommended, as they help extend the bar’s lifespan.
