How to Change Stunt Scooter Grips – Step-by-Step Guide
Fresh grips keep your stunt scooter safe and comfortable. Over time rubber wears out, loses traction or starts to tear. Here’s a quick guide to remove the old grips and fit new ones at home.
Tools You’ll Need
- Utility knife or scissors to cut stuck grips
- Flat screwdriver or thin rod to lift the edge
- Soapy water, window cleaner or a little WD-40 as lubricant
- New stunt scooter grips and bar ends
Step-by-Step Replacement
- Secure the scooter. Place it on a flat surface so the handlebar doesn’t move.
- Remove bar ends. Use an Allen key or screwdriver to take them off.
- Take off old grips.
- Slide a flat screwdriver under the grip to create a gap.
- Spray a small amount of soapy water or lubricant inside and twist the grip until it slides off.
- If the rubber is badly worn, cut it off carefully.
- Clean the handlebar. Wipe it dry and remove any glue or dirt.
- Install new grips.
- Lightly spray the inside of each grip with soapy water or cleaner.
- Squeeze and slide the grip onto the bar while twisting to remove air pockets.
- Re-fit the bar ends and tighten them securely.
How Often to Replace Grips
Change grips whenever they feel smooth, lose traction or start tearing—typically every few months for active riders. Fresh grips give you a firm hold and better control for technical tricks.
