Scooter Grips

Scooter Grips – Better Hold and More Comfort

Grips for scooters are essential components of your setup and have a big impact on comfort, control, and safety. Worn or hard grips can make longer rides less comfortable and reduce your grip, especially if your hands sweat or you are riding in wet conditions. Here you will find a wide range of grips for both stunt scooters and regular scooters, letting you upgrade or replace them when needed.

A new set of grips is an easy upgrade that can improve the feel of your scooter and give your handlebars a fresh look. When choosing, focus on the fit for your bars, the material type, and whether you prefer a softer or firmer hold.

How to Choose the Right Grips

Most scooter grips fit standard bars with an outer diameter of around 22 mm, but they vary in length, material, and the amount of grip they provide. Think about how you use your scooter – whether it is for park and street tricks or for getting around and cruising.

Use this checklist as a quick guide when choosing:

• Grip length Longer grips give your hands more room and can feel more stable for tricks, while shorter grips can feel more direct and controlled.
• Material and softness Soft rubber and TPR grips usually offer better comfort and shock absorption, while firmer grips can provide a more precise feel of the bars.
• Grip and surface texture The surface design 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 if bar ends are included and whether they fit your handlebars (aluminium vs steel) to protect both the bars and the grips.
• Style and colour Grips are a simple way to match the rest of your setup, such as the deck, wheels, and clamp.

For heavy park and street riding, many riders choose slightly longer, softer grips with a strong hold to protect their hands during drops and landings. For commuting and everyday rides, a medium-soft model can strike a great balance between comfort and control.

Installation, Comfort and Next Steps

Grips are generally easy to install yourself. Use a little isopropyl alcohol, hairspray, or soapy water to slide them on smoothly; they will dry and secure themselves in place. Always make sure the bar ends are properly fitted so the bars cannot cause injury in a crash.

When you notice the grips slipping, getting hard, or starting to crack, it is time for a replacement. New grips can make a big difference in comfort, especially during long sessions. Pick a set that suits your riding style and bars, and get your scooter ready for plenty more rides and tricks.
