Meepo Skateboard Hub Motor Bearing Swap

Meepo 90mm Hub Motor bearing replacement swap. Should be the same procedure for the Meepo 100mm Hub Motor. The electric wheel motors do have serviceable bearings that can be replaced.

The motor bearings you need are not standard skateboard bearings like the front truck.

The larger outer bearings are type: 6002-2RS
The smaller inner bearings are type: 6001-2RS

I suggest that if you think you have a problem with a bearing, that you replace it right away. If you spin a bearing it can ruin the axle or the housing and you may have to purchase a new hub motor.

The primary number you care about is the first 4 digits. The 6002 part represents the standard dimensions. The RS indicates its a sealed bearing, 2RS means it's sealed on both sides.

There are many Chinese manufactured bearings that are likely just fine and I don't believe you need an ABEC rated bearing, but I chose some that had a rating of ABEC-3 and they cost about $6 each instead of the $2 to $4 cost you'd typically see for non-rated. I have no idea if the stock bearing has an ABEC rating but if it does, it's probably ABEC-1. If you want to be even more clueless about ABEC ratings and why its the most important thing that often doesn't matter on skateboards, do a little research on the internet. There are many opinions.

These are well known name brand bearing manufacturers you may want to consider but tend to be slightly more expensive. - - NSK, Nachi, NTN, SKF, FAG, INA

Don't spend $30 on a bearing from a wholesale supply company. Shop around and find a reseller who can sell to you at a more reasonable discount. Keep in mind that the bearing you pulled out (mine was a PGN) can be had for $1.50.

Many wheel hub motors use the same design but may appear a little different for each other. Same process as far as I can tell from the pics for these models:
