Ball bearings are the most common type of bearing used in scooters. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain. Ball bearings consist of a series of balls that are held in place by a retainer. The balls roll between the inner and outer races of the bearing, allowing the wheel to rotate smoothly.
Roller bearings
Roller bearings are similar to ball bearings, but they use rollers instead of balls. Roller bearings are more durable than ball bearings and can handle heavier loads. However, they are also more expensive and require more maintenance.
Ceramic bearings
Ceramic bearings are the most expensive type of bearing used in scooters. They are made from ceramic materials, such as silicon nitride or zirconia. Ceramic bearings are very lightweight and have a low rolling resistance, which can improve the performance of your scooter. However, ceramic bearings are also very fragile and can easily be damaged.
When choosing bearings for your scooter, you should consider the following factors:
* The weight of your scooter
* The type of riding you do
* Your budget
If you are unsure of what bearings to get, you should talk to a scooter mechanic or retailer.
