Stunt Scooter Griptape for Enhanced Command

This section presents our comprehensive selection of stunt scooter griptape. Whether enhancing your scooter or substituting worn griptape, we offer a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes.

Every scooter requires new griptape periodically – discover useful information below before purchasing.

Determining if the Griptape Fits Your Scooter

Many scooter griptapes are intended to be cut to fit. Typically, sheets range between 5-7 inches in width and 20-24 inches in length, covering most stunt scooter decks. Measure your deck’s dimensions to ensure adequate coverage before purchasing.

1. Identify the dimensions of the griptape in the product specifications.
2. Compare them with your deck’s width and length.
3. While you can trim the griptape, stretching it is not an option.

If you ride a broader or distinctively shaped deck, opt for a sheet with additional width or length – we offer skateboard griptapes up to approximately 10 inches.

Choosing Between Pre-Cut Griptape and Sheets

Scooter griptape is available as either full sheets or pre-cut versions.

Sheets provide ultimate adaptability. They can be customised to fit any deck, allowing you to select griptape that perfectly matches your style and preferences.

Pre-cut griptape aligns with specific deck shapes and doesn’t require trimming. It’s a practical choice if you’re uncertain about trimming griptape accurately. Confirm that the pre-cut option suits your deck’s dimensions.

When Should You Replace Scooter Griptape?

Griptape provides traction against your shoes, preventing slippage on the deck. With quality griptape, you can propel the deck more effortlessly. It also enhances your ability to catch the deck during tricks, and increases stability while grinding, as it helps keep your feet securely in place. Consider adding more benefits to the list – they’re all connected by a fundamental element: grip.

As griptape becomes worn or smooth, grip diminishes, thereby reducing those benefits.

Wondering if it’s time for new griptape? The answer likely leans towards yes if the thought has crossed your mind. Once aware, it's only a matter of time before you take action.

Replacing griptape reinstates the control and traction needed for accurate foot placement and consistent performance.

Handy Tips

Unless your deck is brand-new, first remove the old griptape. A hairdryer can soften the adhesive, aiding in removal. Prior to applying new griptape, cleanse the deck to eliminate any adhesive residue.

It's crucial to avoid air bubbles beneath the tape. Bubble-free griptape ensures optimal durability and is much more aesthetically pleasing. Some griptapes are perforated, simplifying bubble-free application.
