Toilet paper on my ebikes

Do you like them better than the grips that came with the Vado? Are they softer, bigger?

Sorry but I’m a little fuzzy on the original grips. However, I’m fairly picky so if the new ones are not as comfortable as the original, I would simply go back to originals. And this is my 3rd season with the bike.
I need a grip with a large flared area and these work great. And I seem to remember they were easy to mount on the handlebars.

Thanks. Just what I needed to know. I plan to check with my bike store tomorrow to see if they have some in stock. The original grips that came on my new Vado are a bit harder than I like.

What's the advantage of cork...lighter weight? Also how durable is cork compared to rubber?

We've been using the Ergon Biokork grips on our mechs and ebikes for about a year now. The grips aren't 100% cork. There are cork pieces molded in with the body of the grips. The manufacturer claims 40% cork content. The specs call out the same weight for the GP1 with or without the Biocork grips. The manufacturer notes anti-bacterial properties for the Biocork, but I can't say. Frankly, we picked these for a change from our original grey/black grips. On sale, they were the same price. I do like the look of the cork on our grey and black bikes.

After a year I'd say they are holding up as well as our first sets of Ergon grips on our mechs. After 5 years we replaced them as the grip material had worn and was getting 'gummy'.

...It's a Satori Turn-up. ...

Thanks for the info on this stem riser, Marci jo. Good old eBay came through for me - just ordered one from California. Should be here end of next week.
