I had replaced the stock bearings on my wife's A5 and she asked if I had oiled it up since it took less effort to move the scooter. Pretty good testament there.
Just got myself a carbon lux and gonna be adding these bearings. My 8 year old niece won't be able to catch up to me. I'll probably change hers out as well lol
@@nicklion I'm not sure because I switched them out right away before i could try our the stock bearings. But others has mentioned that they greatly improved performance
Yes, but make sure the tire size you're changing to is no more than 200mm *45 mm. Otherwise, the wheel would be too wide for your average scooter front fork.
Do you know how to fix an A5 Lux scooter that is having trouble turning side to side? I can't see any way to lubricate the turning mechanism (at the bottom of the handle where it turns the front wheel right or left). It has become very stiff and sometimes causes accidents since the scooter won't turn when it should.
Yup, I just replaced it on my A6. One set of 8 is perfect since the A6 uses 8 bearings. Just a heads up that installing the bearings back onto the metal bearing slots is a pain.
@@Palindrome6137 The A6 also uses bearings on each side of the wheel fork. So 2 on each of the front and back wheel fork along with 4 bearings for each wheel.
@@Palindrome6137 I also have an A5 using the same bearings and its rolls better. I don’t suggest replacing the A6 bearings on the fork, getting that off and reinstall was a nightmare.
My wife's 10" wheeled A6 came with floating frame and fork bearings. The rear axle didn't come with any spacers to make the floating axle work properly. Have you had any experience with this setup, or changing the frame bearings?
I own an A6 and replaced all the bearings, both on the fork and frame, as well as the wheels. Highly recommend this upgrade. Makes scooting smoother and the coasting a lot longer.
My A6 seems to perform really good as is with stock bearings, idk if I Shud consider putting REDS. I might just give them to my cousin who is getting an A5 lux tomorrow
I have the A6 with the stock bearing and spin very well. I bought @Bones Super Redz@ expecting to have super performance for the scooter of my son but only spin 8sec tested also in fidget spinner 8sec... not running better that the super cheap bearings... They are a lot of people saying and showing that the Red Bearing are amazing but a lots also say that spin for less than 8sec... You can see my video in the comments 3 Stars... www.amazon.ca/Bones-Super-Bearings-Spacers-Washers/product-reviews/B00J1O775W/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_hist_3?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=three_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar
I had a Mongoose scooter that I put Suer Reds in and it definitely made a difference. A friend of mine had an identical one with the stock ones and he went from easily outpacing me on the stock ones to just keeping up... barely. They made it faster and pushing took less effort.

Yes, they are scooter. I bought the Red Bearing super and I was expecting the same as the video but there is not improvement at all. they spin only 8 sec.. :(
I found the washer on the screw side on the outside to be useless, instead I left it out and put 2 washers on each side on the inside and now the wheel doesn't touch the fork.

Indeed! Happy wife, happy life.
Just did this mod today on my Razor A5 Lux. Will test her outside soon! Thanks for the great instructional video!
I am certain you will notice a difference. Be safe and enjoy the ride.
Very nicely done. I hope you can still mask a straight line with your painters tape!
Let's hope! Never thought of that consequence.
I just did this mod; my Razor A5 rides faster... thumbs up!
Great to hear. Don't forget your helmet.
i just bought a swagtron k8 titan, and i tested the wheels like he does at the end of the video, and they spin as long as the bones scooter.
Thanks for this video. I'm going to modify my wheels, thanks to you!
Hope you will soon be rolling smooth. Thanks James.

Hi , I just bought the carbon lux . Did the bearings increase performance ?
@@nicklion I'm not sure because I switched them out right away before i could try our the stock bearings. But others has mentioned that they greatly improved performance
I love Reds and Bone Swiss. I use them for roller derby. Just ordered the A5 Lux. Thank you for the demo.
I used to love watching roller derby when I was a kid in the 70's. That slingshot move was killer! You will enjoy the A5. Good luck!
Did you order a regular a5 lux or one of their new collaboration ones?
@@stpdsaucepan2558 newer ones. The handles are wider than some of the reviews from years back.
Kelsea Nova I got the Arizona version I love it but I swapped the bearings and wheels to be more travel friendly
@@skateata1 get the A5 prime
Is it possible to add 200mm pneumatic tires to it?
Yes, but make sure the tire size you're changing to is no more than 200mm *45 mm. Otherwise, the wheel would be too wide for your average scooter front fork.
Will this work on Swagtron K8?
Thank you for this video it was informative I want to do this project right away :-)
Good luck with the bearing switch ROB.
Thx just got mine
Great video man thanks for the info!!
You sound like Matthew McConaughey
Is there a link to buy the bearings?
I purchased them at a local skate shop.
@@JW9422 okay I will go check out my local skate shop

Imagen how fast you'd go if you had ceramic Berings.
Imagine how broke you’d be if you had ceramic bearings
@@sierramx5947 there not that expensive just the same price as the scoter lol
will these bearings also work for the a6 razor?

@@S2KV i see now upon closer inspection on pictures. I wonder why they've constructed it this way. What's your experience? Does it roll better?

good video razor should upgrade the cheap handlebars
Agree. Would prefer something a bit more stout.
Is there a size on the bearings? Or are the reds one size? Thanks
They are just standard skateboard bearings
@@theWZZA thanks!!!

My front wheel makes noise when weight is applied, not the bearings
Mine just did too - loud clicking noise and it's a new scooter. It only happens when weight is applied too!
@@paulneri835 I learned since it's the wheel being fractured in multiple places because I rode it alot, had to order a new pair
@@radicalkonrad765 Oh dear!

Good video. Thanks for the tip.
you have a cool voice
Great vid!!
Excellent!
I have these stiff urethane wheels and anything other than really smooth surfaces makes my dental fills rattle
can anyone tell me the spec of the rear axel lenght? i want to buy a replacment axel incase the orginal break
Great reference!
Nice video I'm gonna order one of these razor but the A6 model will those barring work on the A6 model once again nice video
yes they will work but not worth it. absolutly same shit
My A6 seems to perform really good as is with stock bearings, idk if I Shud consider putting REDS. I might just give them to my cousin who is getting an A5 lux tomorrow
The A6 may have an upgrade from the A5. At least make your cousin buy you lunch.

GPS for speed is a great idea. Never tried that. Glad to hear you got good results.

Thanks for the vid mah dude
Where do you go get your bearings for your scooter
Amazon. Get Bronson G3 instead though, you will roll for longer.
Do you have a link on Amazon to those bearings?
Lookup Bronson G3 instead. Better bearing.
@@KandiKloveris it a noticeable difference or minimal?
do i need to buy the bearings that come with the spacers and washers? or just the bearings?
I just bought the bearings. Came 8 to a box.

Might you show how to add a handbrake to the a5?
Never thought about adding a brake. I'm not sure there's enough rim available for brakes.
Hi do you have the information for the bearings? Thank you
Bones Reds Bearings. Available at your local skate shop or easily found online.
@@JW9422 online shop please? :)
@@1Fotobook aliexpress :)
Does those bearings work on razor a5 dlx or razor a6
Yes, they are scooter. I bought the Red Bearing super and I was expecting the same as the video but there is not improvement at all. they spin only 8 sec.. :(
Where can I get parts
I get mine from my local skate shop.
amazon.com and it comes with spacers too! Your welcome less than 18$ for 8PK
I like that thanks
Cool
I found the washer on the screw side on the outside to be useless, instead I left it out and put 2 washers on each side on the inside and now the wheel doesn't touch the fork.
The difference between both bearings are very noticeable. I just happen to love riding kickscooters myself.
