This one is simple. For the most part, the higher the bearing rating, the higher the exhibition. There is no disadvantage to a higher bearing rating.
Be that as it may, what is bearing rating? The rating perceived in designing is the ABEC standard, short for Annular Bearing Designing Board, named after the body that set up the norm.
The ABEC evaluations are (from most minimal exactness to most elevated accuracy) 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Most kick scooters in the market use direction evaluated ABEC 5 to 7.
The higher the accuracy, the lower the moving opposition/grating. Lower grinding converts into a more extended skim distance for each push. This can be promptly capable when riding a scooter, and is regularly what causes you to feel or pass judgment if a scooter is ‘quick’ or ‘slow’.
Notwithstanding, not all orientations are made equivalent. Practically speaking, the nature of the bearing has a more detectable effect than the rating of the bearing.
