Key Factors When Selecting Scooter Grips
- Compatibility: The majority of scooter grips share the same inner diameter and will fit any scooter bar unless specified otherwise.
- Bar ends: Some bar ends are suitable only for specific bar materials. Verify the product details to ensure they're compatible with your setup.
- Flanges: Flanged grips have a defined edge that some riders prefer for added control, though they may obstruct bar spins. The choice between flanged or flangeless grips is a matter of personal preference.
- Length: Longer grips provide more surface area, allowing for a greater variety of hand positions.
- Material: Rubber is the predominant material, but scooter grips are also available in foam or silicone blends, each offering a distinct feel and grip level.

Properly installing scooter grips is straightforward. Here's a reliable technique:
- Apply alcohol-based window cleaner inside the grip and on the bar

Replacing Your Scooter Grips
Grips inevitably wear out. Extra soft stunt scooter grips feel fantastic, but they require more frequent replacements. Change your grips when you notice a loss of traction or visible cracking. Use scissors to remove the old ones, and trim new grips if necessary for an ideal fit. Always inspect your bar ends and replace any that are damaged or missing.
Importance of Scooter Grips
It's all about comfort and control when it comes to scooter grips. Rubber (or foam) materials cushion against harsh vibrations from landings and rough surfaces. Quality grips alleviate hand fatigue and help maintain a secure grip on the bar. Stunt scooter grips often come in ultra-soft compounds, which are comfortable but tend to wear more quickly. Regularly check the condition of your grips and replace them as needed.
Final Advice
Never ride without bar ends. They protect your bars from damage and shield your hands from injuries. Even if you opt for aluminium bars, installing bar ends is worthwhile.
