Stunt Scooter Griptape for Enhanced Control
Here, you'll discover our vast selection of stunt scooter griptape. Whether upgrading your scooter or replacing worn-out griptape, we offer a complete range in various colours, shapes, and sizes.
Replacing scooter griptape is necessary from time to time – find essential information below to guide your purchase.
Ensuring Your Scooter’s Griptape Fits Perfectly
Most scooter griptape can be trimmed to suit. Typical sheet dimensions are about 5-7 inches wide and 20-24 inches long, suiting most stunt scooter decks. Measure your deck's width and length to guarantee suitable coverage before purchasing.
- Check the width and length of the griptape in the product details.
- Match these to your deck's dimensions.
- While you can cut the griptape down, stretching it to fit isn’t possible.
If you have a broader or unusually shaped deck, opt for a sheet with extra width or length – we offer skateboard griptapes up to around 10 inches wide.
Choosing Between Pre-Cut Griptape and Sheets
Griptape for scooters comes in two main forms: sheets and pre-cut.
Sheets provide maximum adaptability. You can customise them to fit any deck perfectly, offering freedom to select the griptape that precisely matches your style and preferences.
Pre-cut griptape is crafted for specific deck shapes and doesn't need trimming. It’s an excellent choice if trimming griptape isn't your forte. Ensure the pre-cut version fits your deck’s specifications.
When Should You Replace Scooter Griptape?
Griptape delivers friction against your shoes, preventing slips on the deck. With effective griptape, launching the deck becomes easier, catching it during tricks is more reliable, and grinding feels more secure due to better foot grip. Feel free to add more advantages – they all relate to the critical factor: grip.
Smooth or worn griptape reduces friction, diminishing these benefits as the griptape loses its grip.
Contemplating a griptape replacement? The fact that you're considering it suggests it's likely worn, indicating that action will soon be necessary.
Renewing your griptape re-establishes the control and grip needed for accurate foot placement and consistent performance.
Is It Possible to Apply Your Own Griptape?
Indeed, it is. View our video guide on applying scooter griptape. If you're uncertain about your ability, enlist someone who's ready for the task.
Useful Tips
If your deck isn't brand new, the existing griptape will need removal. A hairdryer can soften the adhesive, simplifying the peeling process. Before applying fresh griptape, ensure the deck surface is clean and free from adhesive remnants.
Avoiding air bubbles beneath the tape is vital. Bubble-free griptape promises maximum durability – and a more aesthetically pleasing result. Some griptapes are perforated, simplifying bubble-free application.
