scooter hand mitts for bike commutingNov 02, 2011
By boatbuilder77
These are a good product and a great value at twelve bucks or so for use on a flat handlebar bicycle in cold weather. "Pogies" or "Moose Mitts" made for bicycles are 3x the cost +.
I have bar ends on my handlebars, and the bar ends to prevent proper positioning of these; but they still work pretty well. My bar ends are about 6 inches long. I will probably remove the bar ends in colder weather for better coverage if I continue using these from kwik tek. These are a good length and have pretty big hand entry points so you can get your hands on and off the handlebars pretty quickly. I have the brake levers and shifters set pretty far apart, and these have some difficulty covering all the over to the shifters; but it still seems pretty good. With decent gloves; these could get you through winter in most areas much more comfortably than with gloves alone.
I bought 2 different pairs of this type of product from Amazon to try them for bikes. A better option for some may be the "78137 QuadGear Black ATV Mitts". They work better with the bar ends, are warmer, and go further onto the handlebars. The downside of these is that they go so far up your arm. This would make them too hot even in some pretty cold weather, and may prevent quick removal of your hands in a quick reaction situation.
Really, I don't think you can go wrong with either the kwik tek scooter mitts, or the quadgear units for the price, but your needs may sway which you pick.
Additionally, neither of these products fits onto my 2006 Ducati Multistrada which is fitted with enduro style KTM hand guards. If the hand guards were removed, I would suspect that only the quadgear product would work for the motorcycle. With the bigger brake levers and fluid reservoirs, you'll need the extra length provided by the ATV gear version of these mitts.

 Warm mitsJan 04, 2012
By Vito A. Palazzo
I use these on my mountain bike for my commute to work. They were used last night with the temp. @ 30 degrees and a slight head wind. My hands were warm as hell and I wasn't wearing any gloves. I highly recommend this product.
 Great price, but first check the fit on your particular machineFeb 19, 2012

I have several scooters (two Yamahas and a Kymco) on which I planned to use these scooter mitts. Unfortunately, all three of my scoots have bulky plastic handlebar-covers, which makes it very difficult to mount this product properly. If you have a bike that has exposed handlebars these mitts should work, but not all scooters have exposed tubular bars. Ideally, you should try them on before purchasing, but hey, they don't cost that much. Quality seems OK for the price, although I obviously did not get to "road-test" them.
alright for the priceFeb 19, 2012

I bought these for my icebike, a mountain bike with studded tires that I ride to work in the snowy weather. Those are some of the coldest conditions I face in my efforts to commute consistently by bike year round in central Ohio.
The scooter mitts are generously sized for the purpose and seured easily with the velcro straps. They blocked some of the wind but did not keep my hands that much warmer. The cuff ends where your hands fit in, were loose and gapping, so I doubt the air ws much warmer inside the mitt. I found that the mitts were rather floppy too, so when I took my hands out to signal turns in traffic, putting them back in took a few seconds of effort. In traffic, I would rather focus on getting up to speed affter my turn again, rather than planting my hands on the bar properly. I think these would be improved if some loop could hold them in place near the end of the bar grip. Its possible they would be better if the fabric were stiffened?
I bought a pair of neoprene bar mitts for my road bike at the same time. They are toasty. However I rode that bike in less adverse conditions so it is a bit unfair to compare this way. Also they cost 2.5 times more. So for the money, I think the scooter mitts are a decent option to aid in winter riding. You will still wear warm gloves or mitts under them, but it helps keep the wind chill off your fingers.

Just installed these on my 08 Suzuki Burgman 400. They fit the handlebar grips easily and have plenty of room for your hands to operate the brake levers.
