Pro Scooter Grips

Understanding Scooter Grips

As a pivotal part of your setup, scooter grips enhance your control over the scooter, especially during tricks and landings. Designed for comfort, pro scooter grips absorb vibrations for a smoother ride. Generally, they are crafted from rubber, foam, or a combination of both.

A variety of colours and styles are available from numerous brands, allowing you to customize and make your setup uniquely yours.

Over time, scooter grips will degrade and require replacement. If the existing grips are not needed, use scissors or a knife to cut and remove them. When fitting new ones, lubricate both the bars and the interior of the grips to ensure they slide on easily.

Exploring Scooter Handle Grips: Bar Ends and Flanges

First, bar ends, or plugs, resemble screws and fit into the handlebar ends. They play a significant role in absorbing impacts and extending the lifespan of your scooter.

Additionally, some grips feature a flange—a round disk at the inner end. This can enhance your control but may complicate bar spins. Depending on the grip style, flanged grips might take on the role of bar ends, covering the handle’s end, while other designs may not.

Scooter Grips: A Universal Fit?

Unless specified, the inner diameter of a scooter grip typically fits universally. In fact, scooter grips are often suitable for BMX and children's bikes. Nonetheless, ensure compatibility with your bar material. Scooter grips are available in various lengths, with pros often choosing longer grips that exceed 16 cm.
