How to Replace the Grips
Before starting, confirm your scooter is a Mini or Maxi Deluxe ECO model. The replacement grips are designed specifically for these versions. You’ll need a clean workspace and possibly a small flathead screwdriver or compressed air if the old grips are stubborn.
- Remove the old grips: Grip the edge of the old grip and twist while pulling outward. If it’s stuck, slide a flathead screwdriver between the grip and the handlebar to break the seal, then work the grip off. Avoid damaging the handlebar tube.
- Clean the handlebar ends: Wipe away any dirt, adhesive residue, or debris from the bare handlebar. A dry cloth works for light cleaning; isopropyl alcohol can remove sticky residue without harming the metal.
- Install the new grips: Align the new grip with the handlebar end and push firmly. A slight twisting motion helps it slide on. If the fit is tight, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol or soapy water as a lubricant—let it dry completely before riding.
- Check the final position: Ensure the grip is fully seated and doesn’t slide or rotate. Both grips should be positioned symmetrically for comfortable steering.
