Scooter Grip Covers or Muffs - Review!




Scooter Grip Covers or Muffs have been around for a few years and we're always surprised just how many people use them! Although saying that we use them ourselves and they make your bike so much more usable when it's a bit nippy or rainy!

As Tucano Urbano's Key Partner in the UK we only market their Scooter Grip Covers or Muffs - well, simply because we think they're the best!

We offer both the neoprene grip cover/mitt: this isn't marketed as waterproof but we've never had anyone mention about water ingress and while they're the smaller of the two options they're still quite substantial, coming a few inches up your wrist. There are two options to fit different scooters and motorcycles - R360 for grips with normal rubber ends or R361 for grips with weighted metallic bar ends. These scooter grip covers come in 3 designs (regular branding/shark face/bear paw).



One consideration is that these are mitten shaped and you will be pressing 'through the material' to touch your indicators etc!

If you're after something a bit more substantial/'waterproof'/with direct contact of your controls we highly recommend Tucano Urbano's Nylon Hand Grip Covers.

Again these come in different configurations for bike/bar size, for example:
R317 for narrow handle bars with no end weights - eg Vespa LX/S/ET, Piaggio Zip/Fly/Liberty, Honda Dylan/Lead/PS/SH etc


R323 for handle bars with bar end weights and mirrors
- eg Vespa GT/GTS/GTV, Piaggio MP3, Aprilia Scarabeo etc

There are 6 different models of the Nylon Scooter Grip Covers to accommodate a huge number of bikes.

We've only listed some of the scooters they fit - so please don't hesitate to contact us by email or phone (01273 772222) if you need a hand choosing the right model for your bike!

We guarantee - you'll wonder how you managed for so long without these, and a scooter leg cover!

Grip-Lock 'Bright Security' Scooter Lock - HOT CAKES!


We've just taken delivery of our first batch of 'Grip-Locks' - the nifty little Kiwi born device that instantly locks throttle to brake lever!

No twist grip - no acceleration!

These little guys provide both a visual and physical deterrent and are proving very popular amongst both scooter riders and big bike riders!

A great alternative to the ubiquitous disc lock and will probably used in conjunction with a more substantial chain and padlock - the Grip-Lock will deter and defeat all but the most determined thief.

“The Grip-Lock was first designed and made in New Zealand, in 1996 and after winning a New Zealand government industry award in 1998 is now secured by patents registered around the world.

With now over a decade of experience in the motorcycle security industry, Grip-Lock provides the only patented throttle Grip-Lock in the world. Leveraging its innovative design features and unique characteristics, the brightly coloured Grip-Lock acknowledges the vital role visibility plays in effective motorcycle security.”

Check 'em out and buy securely on-line.
