How to Apply Grip Tape to a Scooter
Maintain control of your stunt scooter with a fresh sheet of grip tape. Although you can attach grip tape independently, there are several steps involved. Our scooter specialist Mike is ready to guide you through the procedure:
- Initially, measure both your deck and grip tape.
- Turn the grip tape over and record your measurements.
- Employ a ruler and a sharp knife to cut your grip tape.
- At this point, detach the brake, axle, and deck ends.
- Peel off the backing from the top portion of your grip tape and position it over the deck.
- Ensure it is aligned and begin adhering it to the deck.
- Utilise the protective paper to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Create 2 small incisions in the grip tape at the end of the deck.
- Next, score the grip tape along the deck's edges.
- With a sharp knife, cut steadily along the sides of the deck.
- Gradually proceed around the rear of the deck.
- If necessary, smooth the sharp edges.
Your scooter is now equipped with grip!
