Scooter Bar Ends

They cover sharp edges that could cut or bruise riders in a crash. Bar ends also prevent dirt and moisture from entering the bar, which can cause corrosion or compromise structural integrity.

They can be rubber, plastic or aluminium. Rubber and plastic provide shock absorption and easy installation, while aluminium bar ends are more durable but may require a clamp or screw to secure.

Simply push them into the handlebar ends. For metal bar ends, you may need to tighten a screw that expands the insert inside the bar. Ensure they sit flush with the handlebar and don’t protrude, which could catch on clothing.

Most bar ends are universal, fitting standard (31.8 mm) and oversized (34.9 mm) bars. However, thick titanium bars might require a specific size. Check the diameter of your bar and choose bar ends designed to fit it.

Rubber and plastic bar ends are lightweight and have minimal impact on bar spin speed. Aluminium bar ends are heavier but still unlikely to affect performance significantly. Choose based on durability and aesthetics.

Replace them if they crack, fall out or wear down. Regularly check bar ends, especially after crashes, as they can loosen over time.

It’s not recommended. Riding without bar ends exposes sharp metal edges that can injure you or others. Bar ends are a cheap, essential safety component.
