Question 1

What Skateboard Bearings Do I Need?

Accepted Answer

Let’s backtrack a little and talk about why you need skateboard bearings in the first place. Without getting too technical, a skateboard bearing is an essential part of the board that helps you skate faster and smoother for longer. Your skateboard requires a set of 8 bearings, 2 for each wheel. Bearings are what allow your wheels to roll and work to reduce friction. You don’t need to know too much about physics to understand that less friction = more speed.The type of skateboard bearings you need depends on a couple of factors, including the type of material. The good news is that skateboard bearings are pretty much universal, meaning you don’t need to worry too much about size. What you will need to consider is the bearing material. Take ceramic, for example, which is what is used to create our very popular Precision Ceramic Bearings. Ceramic is known to be an excellent option for experienced skaters looking to shred for hours on end without having to worry about spending their precious skating time maintaining their wheels. Ceramic skateboard bearings have a long life-span, are resistant to corrosion and tend to require less lubrication than standard steel bearings. Our Precision Ceramic Bearings feature built-in washers and spacers for the ultimate smooth ride.

Question 2

What Are The Fastest Bearings For Electric Skateboards?

Accepted Answer

We might be biased but we’re pretty confident you’ll find the fastest skateboard bearings for an electric board in our product line. How does the quality of a bearing impact your speed? Well, the role of a bearing is to keep your wheels spinning smoothly. Bearings fit inside the skateboard wheel and work to reduce friction, enabling you to reach maximum speed with minimum work. Skateboard bearings are typically made from either steel or ceramic. While ceramic bearings tend to be more expensive, they will likely last longer and require less maintenance. Steel is an excellent choice if you’re new to the skateboarding world and are keen to see how a new set of bearings impacts your speed without spending too much cash.Whatever product you choose from the Evolve Skateboards line, our bearings are strong, speedy, and will have you shredding the streets for longer.

Question 3

How Long Do Skateboard Bearings Last?

Accepted Answer

As is the case with all parts and accessories, how long your skateboard bearings will last really depends on a daily usage, the quality of your bearings and how well you look after them. The good news is: that whether you’re skating on the street or tackling more intense terrain, you can rest assured that your Evolve Skateboard is strong and sturdy enough to keep you moving for as long as possible.In saying that, your skateboard bearings will need to be replaced at some point, particularly if you’re keen to continue skateboarding at an optimal level. Skateboard bearings should last you a few years. However, if you’ve noticed a squeaking noise emanating from your board or that it’s becoming tricky to spin your wheels for more than a few seconds at a time, it could be time to install a new set of bearings.Fortunately, the job couldn’t be easier thanks to our range of high-quality skateboard bearings. Choose between Precision Cermanic Bearings, Evolve Speedball Bearings, or a singular Drive Gear Bearing — spoiler alert: they’re all high-end, precision-engineered products and will get you where you want to go.You won’t believe the difference a new set of skateboard bearings makes to your ability to shred on the streets and tear up any terrain.
