Hi there, i had the same issue, took everything apart, tried to flip bearings,to change bearings and to lubricate without results then i tried to alter the tightening of the four wheel bolts on the rim, by loosing or tightening them a little at the time it had effect on the wheel rolling resistance, after fiddling with them a while i achieved decent rolling. if too tight or too loose, it increased resistance, i had to find the right combination.After all it should alter the total width of the wheel assembly and bearing angles.Hope it helps.
I had this problem today when I was upgrading my bearings. Here was my fix. With the wheel off, first deflate the tire. Loosen the 4 screws on the "rim". Now look into the bearing where you have the misaligned spacer. The spacer should now be easily moveable. Take the long bolt and insert it through the bearing+spacer+bearing on other side. Leave the bolt there for now, this is just to align everything. Now retighten the 4 screws on the rim(tightly). Re inflate the tire. Now take the long bolt out and reassemble the tire on the scooter as you normally would. This allowed me to have the wheel spin freely while having the bolt tight and secure
Very good you have pretty much mastered all there is to the razor scooter. All of my razors had loose headset bearings too and I tighten them to. And you can buy a stack of 10 skateboard bearings that will fit the razors
Just be aware that many of the "brand" bearings sold on Amazon are fake (Amazon never really cares about sellers selling counterfeit). I remember a brand selling bearing number #15, and a user saying this number doesn't even exist in that brand. Always read (and try to trust) the negative reviews first. Rule of thumb, a set with $2-$3/bearing is not going to be quality. Also, the real spinning test is with the weight on the bearing. Basically, give a good kick on a smooth level surface without wind and see how far it goes
Well spins better indeed , do you have something same size as outer race of bearing you can use to hit it in straighter may get rid of wobble , like a big socket ? As for the bolt that screws in the one side try some blue lok-tite .
Agreed, the outer races need drawn in more. Two sockets of the right size, two washers and the axle can be used as a makeshift tool to draw them in. The bolt looks like it already has some blue thread locker on it.
Miss the vids! I hope you’ve been well! :)
More than 4 years since the last video, how are you doing ?

Rosie, have you tried an electric scooter? I purchased one recently and tbh it is probably the best purchase I've ever made!
Kewell! Sounds like the bearing(s) may have been misaligned from the factory. Looks like you got it set in good now. Have fun and stay safe out there!
Hope all is well Rosie love your vids stay safe and ride on
From rosiemoto to rosiebicycle, and now rosiescooter 😂
Ooo that must mean RosieRollerSkates are right around the corner 😱
Thanks to You i made some video with my motorcycle. 😄👍🏼
Engine is running but the rear wheel won't spinning on my Genuine scooter 2 cycle 50cc
how do you know if the bearings are bad
You’ll know because they come included with the scooter.
yay, that's all you need now. plenty free enough you won't feel drag on the wheel so run with it
Just buy the outer wheel casing, you don't have to buy a whole new tire.
👍
Genuine 125 scooter rear wheel won't spin freely
The brake wears the tyre
