Over time, the grips on your Chilli Pro Scooter can wear out, loosen, or simply feel uncomfortable in your hands. Regularly changing your grips not only improves comfort but also gives you more control and safety while riding and performing tricks. In this guide, we’ll show you the best methods for replacing scooter grips yourself—complete with handy tools and tips!
Why You Should Replace Your Grips Regularly
- Worn grips lose their traction
- Sweat and dirt build up, making them slippery
- Style upgrade – new colors, fresh look
- Better comfort with ergonomic or softer materials
Tools You’ll Need to Replace Scooter Grips
- New grips – that fit your scooter (e.g., from Chilli)
- WD-40 or silicone spray – to make removal easier
- Compressed air gun or spray duster (optional, for quick removal)
- Utility knife – to cut off old grips if needed
- Hairspray or rubbing alcohol – to help slide on new grips
- Cleaning cloth or paper towels – for prepping the handlebar
Step-by-Step: How to Replace Stunt Scooter Grips
1. Remove the old grips
There are two simple methods to remove your grips:
Method 1: WD-40 or Silicone Spray
- Insert the spray nozzle between the grip and the handlebar
- Spray a small amount and wiggle the grip slightly
- After a few seconds, you should be able to pull it off easily
Method 2: With Compressed Air
- Use an air gun or compressed air with a fine nozzle
- Blow air between the grip and the handlebar—it should pop right off
Caution: Hold the grip firmly or it might fly off!
Pro Tip: If nothing else works, carefully slice the grip open with a utility knife.
2. Clean the handlebar
Before installing your new grips:
- Wipe the handlebar with a cloth and rubbing alcohol
- This ensures better adhesion and prevents slipping
3. Install the new grips
- Spray a bit of hairspray or rubbing alcohol into the new grips
– this makes them easier to slide on and evaporates cleanly - Quickly slide the grip onto the handlebar
- Let it set for about 30–60 minutes before riding
Extra Tip: If the grip is very tight, you can warm it slightly with a hairdryer to make it more flexible.
Conclusion: Better Grip = Better Ride Control
With fresh grips, your Chilli Pro Scooter not only looks better—you’ll also feel more secure and comfortable while riding. Changing grips takes just a few minutes and requires no advanced tools.
Pro Tip from Chilli Riders: Check your grips every few months—especially if you ride often, perform tricks, or ride in wet conditions.
