Finn Bjerke Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Ill get a new motor from Reseller since my V11 wheel sounds terrible, too much friction in the bearings. Is there a way to find out if the new motor have the new or the old bearings ? Serial number or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Over at telegram they got someserious debate going on: It seems that some Chinese bearings are low quality, whilst the German are better overall. Quote Seeing all the bearing problems with the V11 im thinking of ordering the 2x50€ German made ones. The only thing that is stopping me is the taught of disassembling the V11, and replacing the bearing process. So how to get em? Quote CrazyCRO, [05.12.20 20:02] Thank you. Now I'm searching for a low tolerance German manufacturer that can make this bearings. CrazyCRO, [05.12.20 20:06] Gotcha! Vivala precision German Engineeringhttps://www.kugellager-shop.net/kugellager-6816-2rs-2rsr-2rs1.html CrazyCRO, [05.12.20 20:08] And nice datasheet directly on the product website. Now im curious about the bearings Inmotion uses. Who's the manufacturer. CrazyCRO, [05.12.20 20:10] And here are other versions of the same bearing type with better corrosion protectionhttps://www.kugellager-shop.net/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=6816 Changing bearings on EUC Edited December 5, 2020 by Finn Bjerke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryptych Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This is the elephant in the room that nobody seems to want to talk about. There definately needs to be more discussion about bearings for these hollow motors, it will impact not just InMotion but other wheels like the GotWay RS as well. Nobody knows how InMotion plans to fix this so it's very concerning. It is happening with batch 1 and even batch 2 which is supposed to have rubber sealed bearings - so what is the solution? Is it happening with batch 3 as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onkeldanuel Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Are there 1 or 2 of these 6816 Bearings to change in the V11? Cant tell from the Videos, think its 2 Bearings to change, right? And when was start of Batch 3 Production? My Wheel is from 30.08.2020 at QC-Sticker and should be Batch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard00436 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 From what production date on (QC-Sticker) the bearings problem has been solved for the V11 by inmotion? How can I check the batch version i.e. production type model on the wheel? Please help! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting new motor so probably be 6916 ,, if I wanted to source new bearing for 6816 what size are they in outer diameter etc,,thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the codes mean, they denote a specific type and size, including all measures, inner and outer. If you really want, you can Google the measures of any bearing type you wish.

They are different sizes. One will fit a newer V11 motor, the other will fit the older V11 motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 After years of bad sound and endless discussions with inmotion I decided to change the bearings myself when changing tires. first of all, I find the design in general very poor of the V11 when it comes to changing tyre. It should not be so complicated to disconnect the wheel from the body.. 2nd of all its clear that they still have big issues with the 2nd generation of bearings. When I opened the bearing it was Full of rust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 the first v11 had bad bearings and Inmotion send us new motors. SWEDISH BEARINGS ARE THE BEST........ jættebra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
