Your scooter is only as locked-in as your grip tape. Shop Madd Gear's full lineup of pre-cut scooter grip tape and forged aluminum pro decks, every sheet die-cut to fit MGP and MGX deck profiles, so you get full coverage and zero wasted trimming. Whether you're replacing worn griptape after a heavy season or building fresh with a new deck, this is your starting point.
Why Scooter Grip Tape Is the Most Important $6.95 You'll Spend
Most riders obsess over decks, wheels, and bars, and almost nobody thinks about their scooter griptape until their foot slips mid-trick. That's exactly the wrong time to find out it needs replacing.
Grip tape is the only part of your scooter that your body actually contacts during every single trick. It controls your foot placement on takeoff, keeps you locked during grinds, and gives you the confidence to commit to your landing. When the grit wears smooth, all of that control goes with it. A fresh sheet of Madd Gear grip tape for scooters restores that traction instantly, and at $6.95, there's no good reason to ride worn tape.
Madd Gear Griptape: What Makes It Different
Every sheet of Madd Gear scooter grip tape is pre-cut and die-cut to match specific MGP and MGX deck shapes, including precise cutouts for the headtube, rear brake, and deck hardware. You won't need to measure, score, or trim around those problem areas the way you do with generic full-sheet tape. Peel the backing, align to your deck from the headtube end, press firmly from the center outward, and you're done.
The grit itself is a fine-to-medium grain that gives you strong foot traction without destroying your shoe soles on every session. The super sticky pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds flat without lifting at the edges, even on decks that see daily park use.
Here's the exact sizing across the current lineup, so you can match the right sheet to your build:
Kick Pro & Kick Flow: 5" Wide × 19" Long
Kick Extreme: 5" Wide × 19.5" Long
MGX P2: 5" Wide × 19" Long
MGX T2: 5" Wide × 19.5" Long
MGX E2: 5" Wide × 20" Long
MGX S2: 5" Wide × 18" Long (available in Pink/Teal and Teal/Orange)
Origin Pro: 5" Wide × 19.5" Long
Origin Team: 5" Wide × 20" Long
Origin Extreme: 5" Wide × 20.5" Long

Grip Tape Designs: Make Your Build Your Own
Function comes first, but there's no reason your grip tape designs can't reflect your riding style too. Madd Gear's current griptape range covers clean black-and-white colorways for riders who want an understated, classic look, and bolder color-on-color options for park builds that need to stand out.
The MGX S2 is the most colorful option in the lineup, available in Pink/Teal and Teal/Orange, popular with younger riders and anyone building a scooter around a specific color scheme. The Origin Team and Origin Pro run clean branded graphics suited to street setups. The Kick series keeps it simple: sharp contrast black-and-white that works on any deck color without clashing.
Swapping griptape is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to refresh the look of your whole setup without touching a single component.
Scooter Decks on Sale: Pair Yours With the Right Griptape
The collection also includes our MGX Extreme Pro Scooter Decks, currently on sale from $149.99 down to $79.99 in Black, Chrome, and Neo Vapor. These are forged aluminum competition-grade decks built to the same spec as what our pro team riders put through real skatepark and street conditions before a single unit ships to customers.
Pair any MGX deck with the matching E2, P2, T2, or S2 griptape from this collection for a factory-matched build. The die-cut profiles are designed to align perfectly with MGX deck cutouts, so the install is clean from the first press.
Does Grip Tape Work on Electric Scooters Too?
Yes, and it matters more than most people expect. Foot placement on an electric scooter feels different from a kick scooter because you're managing acceleration and braking forces rather than generating your own momentum. A worn or slippery deck surface becomes a real safety problem, especially at speed. Madd Gear's electric scooter grip tape sheets provide the same fine-to-medium grain traction surface and super sticky adhesive bond that works across our kick and pro scooter lineup, the grip function is identical, and the installation process is the same.
When Is It Time to Replace Your Scooter Griptape?
Griptape wears gradually, which is why most riders don't notice until performance has already dropped. The surface should always feel rough and resistant underfoot, if your shoe slides across the deck without much resistance, the grit is gone. Other clear signs: the tape is lifting at the edges near the brake, the graphic has faded completely through to bare adhesive, or you're finding yourself repositioning your foot more than usual during sessions.
For riders who hit the park or street regularly, fresh scooter griptape every three to six months keeps traction consistent. Light riders or casual users can stretch that longer, but once the grit is smooth it won't come back, replacing it is the only fix.
20+ Years on the Same Side as the Rider
Madd Gear has been manufacturing pro scooter components since 2002. Every grip tape sheet, every forged deck, and every part in this collection is developed alongside our sponsored pro team and stress-tested across real riding conditions before it reaches you. We don't manufacture to a price and hope it holds: we build to the standard our own riders refuse to compromise on, then make it available at a price that doesn't require a sponsored budget.
That's been the approach since day one. It still is.
