Grip tape
Griptape is the part that attaches to the deck of your scooter and is a non-slip layer that allows you to stand firmly, especially when performing tricks. It provides a good grip for your feet and control over your scooter. It is an essential part of the scooter.
There are different types of griptape. Pre-cut griptape and griptape in sheets. You can buy griptape that is already cut to fit a specific model of scooter. In these cases, the griptape will be named after that model, so that it is easy to find on the website. These are typically available in the colors that the complete scooters are sold with, so you can get a griptape that is the same as the one you already have.
In addition, we also have griptapes in sheets. This means that you can buy a sheet of griptape and then cut it and customize the deck just as you want it. This gives you the opportunity to be creative and get the look you want for your scooter. These griptapes are available in many different colors and with different layouts.
In the product description under each griptape you will find measurements, so you can make sure it fits or is bigger than your scooter deck.
How to attach griptape?
Griptape is easy and simple to apply to the deck. Before applying the new griptape, it is important that you have completely removed the previous one from the deck. It can help to heat it up with a hairdryer. This will loosen it up and make it easier to remove.
When applying the new griptape, make sure to smooth it out regularly and keep it tight to avoid air bubbles.
We have a video guide showing you how to apply your new griptape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_FMTn48mH4
Can't find a griptape that fits your deck?
Some scooters, such as transport scooters, have larger decks than trick scooters. If you can't find the right size griptape, you can move over to the skateboard category and take a closer look at the griptape models we have here. These griptapes are larger than griptapes for trick scooters. You can follow these links:
