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 securing the axle/bolts. Essentially, utilising a spacer allows you to tighten your axle/bolt firmly.
Important Information on Scooter Spacers
- Wheel Spacers are produced in two diameters - all our scooters require 8 mm spacers.
- The length of a spacer can differ, so we suggest retaining your old spacer for reference.
- The typical length of our spacers is 10.1 mm unless specified otherwise.
- Spacers are constructed from plastic and aluminium. Aluminium spacers have greater durability.
