What the AI looks for in Scooter Grip Tape
- Size coverage
- Check that the sheet covers your deck length and width. A standard skateboard sheet can be trimmed to fit most scooter decks. Scooter decks are narrower but often long, so a sheet that is too short leaves gaps.
- Grit coarseness
- Coarser grit grips better but wears shoes faster. Medium grit suits most riders. Grit sets the balance between foot lock and shoe wear.
- Adhesive and perforation
- Prefer sheets with strong pressure-sensitive adhesive, ideally perforated. Weak adhesive peels at the edges, and air bubbles create wear points.
- Deck prep
- Apply only to a clean, dry deck with the old grip and residue fully removed. Leftover residue is the main cause of peeling.
Brands that matter
- Jessup: Long-standing grip tape standard with consistent quality.
- Mob Grip: Known for perforated sheets that are easy to apply.
- Envy: Scooter-sized grip with graphics.
- Lucky: Scooter-specific printed grip.
- Tilt: Scooter grip in sizes to match its decks.
What to avoid
- Unbranded grip with thin adhesive that lifts at the edges.
- Applying new grip over old grip.
