Stunt Scooter Grips

What Are Scooter Grips?

Scooter grips are vital elements of your setup, enhancing control over your scooter when executing tricks and landings. Stunt scooter grips help to soften vibrations and offer a more comfortable riding experience. Typically, these grips are made from rubber, foam, or a combination of the two.

Various brands produce their grips in an extensive selection of colours and designs, making them an excellent option for customising and personalising your setup.

Scooter grips eventually wear down and need replacement. If you wish to remove grips not intended for reuse, simply employ scissors or a knife to cut and discard them. For installing new grips, first lubricate the bars and the interior of the new grips. After this, the new grip should effortlessly slide onto the bar.

Handle Grips: Bar Ends and Flanges for Scooters

To begin, bar ends, also known as plugs, are inserted into the ends of the handlebars. A robust set of bar ends is essential for absorbing shocks and prolonging your scooter’s lifespan.

Additionally, some grips include a flange, a circular disk attached to the inner end of the grip. Flanged grips can enhance bar control, although they might make bar spins more difficult. In certain instances, flanged grips can replace bar ends by covering the scooter handle's end, while other designs will not—it all depends on the style of the grip.

Are Scooter Grips Universal?

Generally, the inner diameter of a scooter bar grip is standard unless specified otherwise, allowing for universal application. Moreover, many scooter grips can be fitted to BMX and children’s bikes. Nonetheless, it is crucial to ensure grip compatibility with the bar material. Lastly, scooter grips vary in length, with professional riders often opting for grips longer than 16 cm.
