If your not going to keep them just take box cutters and cut them off, but what I do when I'm keeping them is find something that you can fit underneath the grip, get your finger under there and roll it off.

Use a air compressor in the very end.

If the bars are off the bike, dunk the grips in hot water and they soften up nicely for removal.

no need to take bars off..... use the air compressor w/ the blower end... put your hand over one end of the bars, and with the end inserted into the bars on the end opposite your hand, hit the air..... kind of pull at the same time.... (the end opposite the air) then switch sides..... the 2nd is a little trickier..... you have to have a seal around the bar end since the old grip isn't there to create one.... it's easy once you get the hang of it...... then to install..... i personally use clear, black, or blue silicone..... put some around the end of the bars and the grip slides on nice...... however.... let it set up for 24 hours.......... no one likes grips that move around....
