What is the size of the front wheel bearing for an electric tricycle?
2 Answers
Electric two-wheelers and electric tricycles share the same front wheel bearings. There are two bearings in the front wheel, with an inner diameter of 10mm, and the model number is 6200. Additional information: Introduction: An electric tricycle (Electrically operated tricycle) is a three-wheeled transport vehicle powered by batteries and driven by an electric motor, used for carrying goods or passengers. Electric tricycles are equipped with tubular high-capacity, left-right lined, deep-discharge, traction-type batteries, which can meet the requirements of continuous discharge for prolonged operation. The batteries maintain their capacity for up to two years under normal use. Power: The electric motor in an electric tricycle uses a DC series-wound traction-type brushed or brushless motor, with an internal speed-increasing and force-enhancing device, ensuring robust power output and durability under normal usage conditions.
As a seasoned tinkerer with three-wheelers, I can tell you electric trike front wheel bearing models are definitely not one-size-fits-all—it depends on the specific model and manufacturer. Most entry-level models from brands like Jinpeng or Zongshen typically use 6205 or 6300 series deep groove ball bearings, with inner diameters around 25mm and outer diameters up to 52mm. But if you're dealing with a modified or high-end version, the specs differ. My advice: remove the old bearing to check its engraved markings for size codes. If the original part's missing, simply measure the axle bore diameter—use calipers on the wheel hub's inner bore, then add 0.5mm when selecting a new bearing. Don't forget to apply grease during installation; skipping this causes premature seizure and wear, compromising ride stability. Stay diligent with maintenance—regularly check bearing play, and they'll easily last five years of service.
