Buying Scooter Spacers

A wheel spacer is positioned between two bearings in a wheel. The purpose of a spacer is to prevent excessive pressure on the bearings when tightening the axle/bolts. In other words, using a spacer allows you to securely tighten your axle/bolt.

Good to Know About Scooter Spacers

• Wheel spacers come in two diameters - all our scooters use 8 mm spacers.
• The length of a spacer can vary; we recommend keeping your old spacer for reference.
• The standard length of our spacers is 10.1 mm unless stated otherwise.
• Spacers are made of plastic and aluminum. Aluminum spacers are more durable.
