How to Apply Grip Tape to a Scooter

Keep in control of your pro scooter with a fresh layer of grip tape. Although you can apply the grip tape on your own, it's crucial to follow several specific steps. Our scooter specialist, Mike, is here to assist you through this process:

1. Initially, take measurements of your deck and grip tape.
2. Turn the grip tape over and mark your dimensions.
3. Cut your grip tape using a ruler and a sharp knife.
4. Proceed by detaching the brake, axle, and the ends of the deck.
5. Peel off the backing of the grip tape, carefully positioning it on the deck.
6. Ensure it remains straight, then start affixing it to the deck.
7. Employ the protective paper to eliminate any air bubbles.
8. Create two small incisions in the grip tape at the deck's endpoint.
9. Score the grip tape along the periphery of the deck.
10. With a sharp knife, perform a long, consistent cut along the deck's sides.
11. Cautiously navigate around the rear of the deck.
12. If required, refine any sharp edges.

Your scooter is now perfectly gripped!
