Street Scooter Handlebars Bars

Street scooter handlebars are built for durability and stability. Typically made from chromoly steel, they feature taller and wider dimensions than park bars to give riders better control during grinds and manuals. T‑bars dominate the street scene due to their simple, sturdy design. For help choosing bars, see our Scooter Handlebars Buying Guide.

These handlebars are made for street tricks: flip tricks, grinds, ledges—so they often feature higher rises, thicker walls, reinforced welds, sometimes with crossbars for stiffness. Lengths and widths are chosen to balance leverage and control over obstacles.

When choosing bars, make sure your clamp and fork setup matches: refer to our Scooter Clamps collection for clamp diameters, and Scooter Forks for crowns that work well with street bar geometry.

Why buy Street Scooter Handlebars Bars?

Q

Why are street bars heavier?

A

Street bars use thicker tubing to withstand impact from rail and ledge tricks. The extra weight makes bars less prone to bending or breaking during hard landings.

Q

What height should I choose?

A

Street bars usually stand taller—between 24–28 inches. The right height keeps the bar near waist level, providing leverage for manuals and hops. Taller bars reduce back strain during long street sessions.

Q

Are T‑bars better than Y‑bars for street?

A

T‑bars offer a consistent, stable feel and are easier to catch during bar spins. Y‑bars can be lighter but may flex more. Many street riders prefer T‑bars for their simplicity and strength.

Q

Do street bars come in different diameters?

A

Yes. Standard bars (31.8 mm) are compatible with IHC compression, while oversized bars (34.9 mm) fit HIC and SCS. Steel bars are typically standard, but confirm the diameter before purchasing.

Q

Are there aluminium street bars?

A

Aluminium bars exist, but they’re less common for street due to their lower strength. Steel is the standard material for street bars, although titanium bars offer a strong yet lightweight alternative for those who can afford them.

Q

Can I trim street bars?

A

You can cut the width to suit your preference using a pipe cutter or hacksaw. Make sure to smooth the edges and reinstall bar ends for safety.

Q

Do street bars need a slit?

A

Bars with a slit fit HIC or IHC compression. SCS bars are slitless and thicker. Choose a bar compatible with your compression system to avoid modifying it.

Q

How should I maintain street bars?

A

Check the welds and crossbar for cracks, tighten clamp bolts regularly and replace grips when they wear down. Keep bars dry to prevent rust if they’re steel.
