If you are not going to use the grips just use a exacto knife and cut them off. Careful so you do not scratch the handlebars. Personally I keep usable grips as I often use them on bikes I fix up and give away. I use a syringe with a needle. Just plain water inside. press the needle under or trough the grips and squees in some water. Some times i do it twice on one grip, in oposite spots. Then you just slide them off with two fingers.
When I cut off the foam grips on my Brompton, I found they had applied some adhesive. For me, after trying to slip them off, I decided cutting them was a better way to spend my time.
