Hey everyone! My little brother is obsessed with dinosaurs and wants to turn his Gotrax G2 into a prehistoric beast. I’m looking for creative ways to mod it without messing up the electronics.

Current Ideas:

Aesthetic Wraps: Thinking of using Scooty Wraps or high-quality vinyl for a green/reptile scale look.

Grip Tape: Swapping the standard deck tape for custom colored or patterned grip tape.

3D PrintedParts: I’ve seen some cool 3D models for Gotrax—maybe a T-Rex head for the handlebars?

Lighting: Adding green LED strips or reflective "dino eye" stickers for night rides.

Questions for the community:Has anyone successfully attached 3D printed "armor" or heads to a G2 stem?

Are there specific dinosaur-themed accessories (bells, horns, etc.) that fit well on 22.2mm handlebars?

Any tips for painting the plastic fenders without them peeling immediately?

Budget is fairly low, so DIY tips are much appreciated!

How can I mod the g2?

My little brother is obsessed with dinosaurs. He wants it dino themed. I dont know what I can even do to make this happen and he is persistent on dinos.
