Stunt Scooter Grips

Scooter handles: an essential accessory

Although they are an inexpensive accessory, scooter handles are nevertheless essential for the comfort and control of the freestyle scooter. Indeed, with them, you will have a better grip on your handlebars, making it easier to perform tricks and landings where without handles, you could risk injury. Furthermore, the handles are also an excellent way to stand out from other riders with their design and color, which would reinforce your personality, such as with the wide range of colors of ODI handles, or with the easily identifiable design of BLUNT handles. Equally unique, you will find transparent handles at ETHIC.

How to choose your freestyle scooter handles?

Choice of material

There are several materials for handles: foam, rubber like the ADDICT handles, or a mix of the two. Foam handles are less expensive, softer, less secure, but also less durable over time. A mix of the two combines comfort and safety, but most brands have now opted for all-rubber for a longer lifespan and maximum safety. Among the most popular freestyle scooter brands offering handles, you will also find OATH.

Type of end cap

When you put the handles on your handlebars, the ends of the handlebars may still be visible, and the handles could come off during a landing, which could quickly become dangerous. To cover these ends, you will need to choose an end cap, also known as a bar end. The end caps thus keep the handles on the handlebar and add a design element to the scooter. However, note that the majority of handles are now offered closed or designed with collars.

Handle size

The handle size is generally quite standard between 12 and 14 cm. However, for very wide handlebars and larger riders, XL or Large-sized handles exist, thus meeting the demand of all types of riders.
