Purchasing Scooter Grips

Grips attach to your bar. Just like on a bike, it's crucial to maintain full control of your bar. A wide variety of models exist, each crafted from different materials. Ultimately, your choice should reflect personal preferences.

Notice: The inner diameter is uniform across all grips, ensuring compatibility with all bars, unless specified otherwise.

Installing Scooter Grips

Installing grips can pose challenges; consider these suggestions:

• Apply some liquid, like window cleaner or hairspray, to both the grip and the bar. Allow it to dry!
• An air compressor can create an air pocket around the grip, making it easy to slide on.
• If everything else fails, visit a local bike mechanic; they can typically provide a quick fix.

Tips and Information on Pro Scooter Grips:

• Grips are components that should be replaced when they show signs of wear.
• Softer grips wear out more quickly than other types and need faster replacement.
• You can use scissors to remove grips from the bar or adjust them to the desired length.
• Bar ends (the separate piece that you plug into the bar) don't fit into aluminum bars due to thickness. However, making a cut in the bar end allows it to be inserted into an aluminum bar.
• Using bar ends is advisable, as they help prolong the life of the bar.
