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?

Skateboard bearings should last you a few years.
