It did not come with bearings. YOu can get them separately. We used "Bones" bearings and they worked great.

I don't know and you don't need to know. All you need to know is bones bearings are the best bearings on the planet period. I'm sure if you go to their website you can find answers there.

I believe the one I have is all metal. The rollers rotate on a steel bolt that is the bearing, as the rotation is not at a high rate of speed.

This is from the seller's [Low Baller] storefront - Contact this seller Phone: 909-979-7392 Not sure if this was the one I used, but recently I received one that sounded like a bearing was bad, they were very helpful and shipped a new one very quickly. Good luck.

No bearings. the mower I have does not use bearings nor did the wheel come with any, just the plastic wheel that slides on the shaft.

Actually, the bearings are very good. The quality of the entire thing is good. My son rides it constantly & he's never had any problems with it.

It probably only needs a new bearing. I had a friend push the old one out and I took it to the bearing shop and got a new one.

The one I got seems to be able to handle it. Bearings are on the tight side, so there is little to no wobble.

Alon, all these answers are great. On operation as P. Tower stated the bearings ride on a 5/8" axle shaft. They are designed to be held on the shaft with some kind of pin such as a cotter pin or a spring clip. This allows the wheels some movement along the axle. They aren't designed for any type of high speed. As noted, if the tires wear or the tubes sail the two rim halves separate to make mounting new rubber easy.

I purchased these and they are the micro bearings. Mine came with kryptonics micros. I haven't used these yet so I can't say how good/bad they are.

There are no visible bearings. It comes in 2 or 3 parts from what I remember and you attach the handlebars and maybe the seat. When I got it home my daughter wanted to try it out so badly and it took, literally like 6 minutes to put together. The holes weren't lined up exactly on mine and had to use a little brute force(my boyfriend and a mallet) to put it together.

They are in fact just steel. The only reason I bought these specific ones was because I thought they would look really nice on my board with my wheels. They are very nice bearings though! Just not the right picture for them.

"Bearings" is an overstatement IMHO, though some call bushings bearings. The wheels include a pressed in bushing that rides on the axle. It's been a long time since I got these for my dad, so I don't know if it is a powdered metal oiled busing or a high-density polymer bushing.

Nothing exotic, it comes with the bearings installed. You can find videos on youtube that show the whole process.Scott

I don't know whether the wheels have ball bearings. The self propel is single speed, pretty quick walking speed, with both front wheels engaged.
