Scooter Grips

Scooter Grips – Better Hold and More Comfort

Grips for scooters are essential parts of your setup and play a major role in comfort, control, and safety. Worn or hard grips can make longer rides uncomfortable and reduce your grip, especially if you sweat or ride in wet conditions. Here you will find a wide range of grips for both stunt scooters and regular scooters, allowing you to upgrade or replace them as needed.

A new set of grips is a simple upgrade that can enhance the feel of your scooter and give the bars a fresh look. When choosing, focus on the fit for your bars, the material type, and whether you prefer a soft or firm hold.

How to Choose the Right Grips

Most scooter grips fit standard bars with an outer diameter of around 22 mm, but they differ in length, material, and the amount of grip they provide. Consider how you use your scooter: whether for park and street tricks or for transport and cruising.

Use this list as a guide when choosing:

• Grip length Longer grips give your hands more space and can feel more stable for tricks, while shorter grips can feel more direct and controlled.
• Material and softness Soft rubber and TPR grips often provide greater comfort and shock absorption, while firmer grips can give a more precise feel of the bars.
• Grip and surface texture The surface pattern and ridges affect how well you hold on, even when your hands get sweaty or wet.
• Durability Dense, hard-wearing rubber lasts longer under heavy use and landings, while very soft grips may wear out faster but add extra comfort.
• Compatibility with bar ends Check whether bar ends are included and if they fit your bars (aluminium vs steel) to protect both the bars and the grips.
• Style and colour Grips are an easy way to match the rest of your setup, such as the deck, wheels, and clamp.

For intensive park and street riding, many riders opt for slightly longer, softer grips with a strong hold to protect their hands during drops and landings. For commuting and casual rides, a medium-soft model can offer a good balance between comfort and control.

Installation, Comfort and Next Steps

Grips are usually easy to install yourself. Use a bit of isopropyl alcohol, hairspray or soapy water to slide them on easily; they dry and secure the grips in place again. Always make sure the bar ends are properly fitted so the bars cannot cause injury in a crash.

When you feel the grip slipping, becoming hard or starting to crack, it is time for a replacement. New grips often provide a noticeable boost in comfort, especially during long sessions. Choose a set that suits your riding style and bars, and get your scooter ready for many more rides and tricks.
