Pro Scooter Griptape for Enhanced Control

Explore our comprehensive selection of pro scooter griptape on this page. Whether you want to upgrade your scooter or replace worn-out griptape, we have options in every colour, shape, and size.

Scotters occasionally need fresh griptape—find valuable information below to assist your purchasing decision.

Determining if the Griptape Suits Your Scooter

Most scooter griptape is meant to be trimmed for a perfect fit. Standard sheets are approximately 5-7 inches wide and 20-24 inches long, suitable for most pro scooter decks. It is important to measure your deck’s width and length to ensure a precise fit before purchasing.

Check the griptape’s dimensions in the product details.
Compare these to your deck’s width and length.
You can trim griptape as needed, but it cannot be stretched.

If your deck is wider or has an unusual shape, opt for a sheet with extra width or length—we offer skateboard griptapes up to about 10 inches across.

Pre-Cut vs. Sheet Griptape

Scooter griptape is available in two primary formats: full sheets and pre-cut.

Sheets offer maximum flexibility, allowing you to customize them for any deck. This gives you the liberty to pick the exact griptape to match your style and preferences.

Pre-cut griptape is tailored to specific deck shapes and requires no trimming, making it a convenient option if you’re uncertain about cutting griptape correctly. Ensure the pre-cut version aligns with your deck’s size.

When Should You Change Scooter Griptape?

Griptape offers traction against your shoes to prevent slipping on the deck. It enhances your ability to propel the deck, reliably catch it during trick landings, and feel secure while grinding, as it helps keep your feet locked in place. The list of benefits is extensive, all linked to the essential factor: grip.

Smooth or worn griptape reduces friction, diminishing these benefits as the grip deteriorates.

Is it time to renew your griptape? Only you can determine—if you’re pondering this question, it’s likely already worn, and it’s only a matter of time before you take action.

Replenishing your griptape reinstates the control and grip needed for precise foot placement and consistent performance.

Is Self-Application of Griptape Possible?

Absolutely. Refer to our video guide on applying scooter griptape. Should you doubt your abilities, seek someone prepared to tackle the task.

Handy Tips

If your deck isn’t brand new, be sure to remove the old griptape first. A hairdryer can aid in loosening the adhesive for easier removal. Before applying the new griptape, clean the deck surface thoroughly to eliminate adhesive residue.

Also, avoid trapping air under the tape. Bubble-free griptape is more durable and visually appealing. Some griptapes are perforated to facilitate bubble-free application.
