A handgrip includes a substantially cylindrical body portion extending along a central axis from a first end to a second end. The first end has an opening configured to receive a handle. A grip element is provided in the form of a single, elongated line segment. The grip element extends radially outwardly from the body portion with respect to the central axis and is configured to provide friction in both axial and radial directions with respect to the central axis to facilitate effective gripping of the handgrip by an operator. A vehicle including a handgrip is also disclosed.
