How to Install Grips and Grip TapeUpdated 20 hours ago

Fresh grips = better control. Fresh grip tape = better traction. Here’s how to install both like a pro 🛠️🛴

👐 Part 1: Installing Handlebar Grips

Changing your grips improves comfort and control — and can totally change your scooter’s feel. Here’s how to get them on smoothly:

🔧 What You’ll Need:

• New grips (standard size for stunt scooters)

• Hair spray, rubbing alcohol, or grip glue

• Air compressor (optional but super helpful)

• Patience 😅

✅ Install Steps:

1. Remove old grips

   • Use a flathead screwdriver or pliers to gently pry them off

   • Spray a little soapy water or alcohol to loosen

2. Clean the bars

   • Remove any leftover glue or dirt

   • Dry completely

3. Apply lubricant

   • Spray a little hair spray or rubbing alcohol inside the new grip

   • This helps slide them on, but will dry to create a bond

4. Slide on the grips

   • Twist and push until fully on

   • If using an air compressor, blow air between grip and bar while pushing

5. Let dry

   • Wait at least 1–2 hours before riding (overnight is best for grip glue)

6. Install bar ends

   • Push them into the bar ends (use a mallet if needed)

🦶 Part 2: Installing Grip Tape

Fresh grip tape keeps your feet locked in while riding — it also makes your deck look 🔥

🧰 What You’ll Need:

• Grip tape (pre-cut or sheet)

• Box cutter or razor blade

• File or metal object to score edges

• Cleaning cloth

✅ Install Steps:

1. Remove old grip tape

   • Peel slowly — heat with a hairdryer if it's stubborn

2. Clean the deck

   • Remove glue residue

   • Ensure it's dry and smooth

3. Apply the new tape

   • Line it up and press down firmly from center out

   • Eliminate air bubbles

4. Score the edges

   • Use a metal file or screwdriver to trace the edge of the deck

   • This gives a clean cut line

5. Cut around the edge

   • Carefully slice excess grip tape with a razor blade

   • Smooth rough spots

6. Optional cutouts or designs

   • Use a blade to create your own shapes or logo reveals

🧠 Pro Tips:

• Use rubber grips for the best shock absorption

• Match your grip tape design with your scooter setup

• Keep grip tape clean for max foot traction
