Stunt Scooter Griptape for Enhanced Control
This page showcases our expansive collection of stunt scooter griptape. If you're enhancing your scooter or replacing worn-out griptape, we offer a wide variety of colours, shapes, and sizes to suit your needs.
It's essential for every scooter to receive new griptape periodically – explore the information below before making a purchase.
Ensuring the Griptape Fits Your Scooter
The majority of scooter griptape can be customised to fit. Standard sheets typically measure about 5-7 inches wide and 20-24 inches long, accommodating most stunt scooter decks. Before purchasing, measure the width and length of your deck to guarantee a proper fit.
- Check the griptape's width and length in the product details.
- Match these measurements to those of your deck.
- Remember, you can cut the griptape down, but you cannot stretch it to fit.
If you are using a wider or uniquely shaped deck, opt for a sheet with additional width or length – our skateboard griptapes can extend to around 10 inches.
Choosing Between Pre-Cut Griptape and Sheets
Scooter griptape is available in two primary forms: full sheets and pre-cut.
Sheets offer maximum versatility, allowing them to be customised for any deck shape, letting you select the right griptape for your personal style and preference.
On the other hand, pre-cut griptape is crafted to suit specific deck shapes and doesn't need trimming. It’s a practical choice if you're uncertain about trimming griptape correctly. Make sure the pre-cut style matches your deck's dimensions.
When Should You Replace Scooter Griptape?
Griptape offers resistance against your shoes, preventing slips on the deck. This resistance allows you to propel the deck more effortlessly, ensures better deck control during tricks, and provides stability while grinding as it keeps your feet in place. The numerous benefits all relate to one crucial element: grip.
If the griptape is worn or smooth, it reduces friction and diminishes these benefits as the grip weakens.
Considering a griptape replacement? If you're contemplating it, your current griptape might already be wearing thin, suggesting it's time to consider a replacement soon.
Renewing your griptape reinstates the control and grip required for accurate foot placement and dependable performance.
Is it Possible to Apply Griptape Yourself?
Indeed, it is. View our video guide on applying scooter griptape. If you're uncertain about doing it correctly, seek assistance from someone familiar with the process.
Useful Tips
If your deck isn't new, removing the old griptape first is necessary. A hairdryer can aid in loosening the adhesive, facilitating easier removal. Prior to applying new griptape, ensure the deck is clean by removing any residual adhesive.
It is vital to avoid trapping air bubbles beneath the tape. Griptape devoid of bubbles ensures optimal durability and is aesthetically more pleasing. Some griptapes are perforated, simplifying the bubble-free application process.
