On the Catrike we have these foam handle grips that fit over
the bar level Scram levers. Mine finally bit the dust and I
am thinking my best bet might be to actually use bar tape
and them them like handlebars just going down. Seems even
Walmart has a option that might work too just no idea if I
can slip them down over bar. https://www.walmart.com/ip/ Concord-Lock-On-Bicycle-Handlebar-Grips-Anti-Slip-Rubber- with-Metal-Caps-Black-Includes-Allen-Wrench/17412553380? classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1600&from=/search

True. However, with the availability of so many different grip
styles, I tend to forget the more obscure choices. I also tend to use
Google Photos as a menu of ideas worth stealing.
Perhaps heated bicycle grips? <https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=heated%20bicycle%20grips>
For those who can't resist texting while riding: <https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=keyboard%20bicycle%20grips>
It would seem that bicycle grips are a fashion statement.

It works fine and is pretty robust compared to the foam grip
that was on it. It only required 1/2 of 1 side of the bar
tape. You can 4 bars worth of coverage buying any handlebar
tape. I do have to say thought it is black and looks sort of
plain would be cool to have some really colorful scheme,
maybe red since the bike is black.

Foam grips are horrible. Tossing them was a good decision.
Road bar tape is not much better.
Among the rubber like grip materials, Kraton is a durable
material, as are the USA made ODI grips which come in a wide
range of colors:
https://www.odigrips.com/
They are longish but a scissors readily adjusts them to your
application.
Unknown brand or low price grips are prone to material
degradation which turns to an unpleasant gooey slime with
regular skin oils. ODI and Kraton grips don't.
