Buying scooter grips

Grips are mounted on your bar. Like on a bicycle, it's important to have full control of your bar. There are a lot of different models made of different materials. It's a matter of personal preference on what you choose.

Notice: The inner diameter is the same on all grips, hence they fit on all bars, unless stated otherwise.

The illustration below shows 2 grips with bar ends.

Mounting scooter grips

Mounting grips can be difficult, we have some suggestions:

• Spray some liquid into the grip and on the bar (window cleaner, hairspray). Let it dry!
• Use an air compressor to create an air pocket around the grip, and it will slide right on.
• If all else fails, go to the local bicycle mechanic; they can usually fix it quickly.

Hints and info on pro scooter grips:

• Grips are replaceable parts and should be replaced when worn down.
• Extra soft grips wear faster and need replacement sooner than other grips.
• You can use scissors to cut your grips off the bar or trim them to the correct length.
• Bar ends (the separate part you plug into the bar) do not fit into aluminum bars due to the bar thickness. However, it's possible to make a cut into the bar end to force it into an aluminum bar.
• We recommend riding with bar ends, as these extend the lifetime of the bar.
