The board acceleration is controlled by a wireless remote. To turn you use your body weight as you would a normal longboard skateboard.

To slow down you push the trigger forward on the handheld remote. The brake is firm when applied at medium to fast speeds and is very safe. The braking is softer at slow speeds and may not bring you to a complete halt. It has been designed to be as safe as possible.

This varies depending on the rider weight, terrain and slope. On a good flat road/footpath the bamboo series and carbon street board can reach speeds of 35-38kms per hour. However the boards are not about speed more-so about carving and cruising.

Yes. The boards can handle small to medium inclines no problems. Again it depends on rider weight, terrain and how steep the hill is. It’s best to approach hills with some momentum for an easier climb. Constant hill riding is not advised as it puts strain on the motor.

Bamboo street - up to 30km and 80mins recharge time

Bamboo AT - Up to 15km and 80mins recharge time

Carbon street - Up to 40km and 120mins recharge time

Carbon AT - Up to 30km and 120mins recharge time

These specs are tested on fairly flat ground with a few small inclines. Battery life depends on factors such as weight of rider, terrain, inclines and also the way the rider uses the trigger. On the AT boards, battery range can vary if PSI levels get below 40PSI.

 

Approximately 1000 full recharges.

We have THREE drive gears compatible with our bamboo series and carbon street boards that can be used with a variety of top shelf wheels. We'll be making more gears that are compatible with other wheels in the future but at this stage you can use the wheels below. 1. The Kegel Gear: Orangatan Kegel Wheels 80mm 80a (our wheel of choice) 2. The ABEC 11 Gear: Abec 11 83mm Flywheels Abec 11 76mm Flywheels 3. The Compatible Drive Gear: Evolve 77mm wheels Bustin Swift 77mm wheels Metro Express 77mm wheels Sector 9 81mm Race Formula wheels Sector 9 76mm Race Formula wheels The board come standard with the Kegel gear and the other two gears and selected wheels are available for purchase as optional accessories.

No, water damage will immediately void the board warranty. If you had to ride through surface water on roads/footpaths you should immediately dry the board off to avoid corrosion damage. Carving on wet surfaces may also make the board slide out from under your feet, so be careful of this.

Maintaining your Evolve board is very simple. None of the electrical or mechanical parts need to be serviced. Just routinely checking that screws and nuts are tight, bearings are clean and rolling freely, rotating your wheels and keeping your board clean. See our maintenance section.

You can slide on the board but take care that you don’t abuse the board in a way that will void your warranty. Please refer to our Store Policies page for more info.

Please visit our comparison chart as it shows all board specs.

The limit we suggest is 100kgs. Over this weight and the board will loose some torque only noticeable on hills.

If the carbon boards ride very closely (within 1 meter) next to the bamboo boards its possible that you will loose signal for a split second. However riding Carbons together or the Bamboos together will never cause an interference between boards. The remote can only control 1 board at a time whilst riding.

Yes, the board has little resistance which enables it to roll when the power is off. This is a unique feature of our range of boards.

We use the highest quality drive belts available on the market (Gates, made in UK), they are very quiet and durable. The belts should last a very long time and generally become better with age. If ever the belt does break due to wear and tear, replacing it takes a few minutes and they are available on our website.

Our boards are extremely quiet to ride.

Our boards can be converted from the Street version to the AT version and vice versa. Getting the 2-in-1 version means we will also give you the parts needed so you can swap between each setup quickly and easily so you can get the best of both worlds. <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/74278024?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

For the Asia region, we do not have any physical retail stores or retailer yet. Our boards are very niche products, and as such we do not maintain expensive retail spaces that will increase the final price of the boards unnecessarily.

Sorry but the GTR electrical components are a different shape and size and cannot fit our earlier board designs.

The GTR series boards is like the GT but on steroids! The GT skateboards were designed back in 2014, the GTR is the 2019 model.  Every part of the GTR board has been improved from build quality/strength, raw materials, electrical components, software and ride quality.  The GTR uses Bluetooth technology along with new patent pending battery technology which delivers an extremely smooth power delivery performance and is exhilarating to ride!

No.  The R2 Bluetooth remote can only communicate with the GTR Bluetooth motor controllers.  The GT boards use Wifi communication when operating, the GTR uses Bluetooth communication when operating.  If these remotes are swapped then the remote cannot pair to the motor controller.

No.  The GTR motors have custom water proof connectors and can only connect to the GTR Bluetooth motor controllers, they will not assemble to the GT motor controllers.

The standard 14AH GTR battery cannot be taken onto any plane due to being too large.  However, the 4.2AH travel battery (151.2 watt hours) can be taken onto a plane with airline approval prior to boarding.  The travel battery can only be stored in carry-on luggage, carry a maximum of 2 pieces per person and you must notify the airline during check-in (or in advance) that you have spare batteries in your possession.  Our travel battery is 151.2 watt hours in size and this fits within the 100 – 160 watt hours range.

No.  The GTR charging port is shaped like the letter D making it impossible to use any previous Evolve charger.  The GTR charger cannot fit any older Evolve board due to being a D shaped connector.  The reason we changed the connector shape is to prevent people using non evolve chargers or older chargers that can potentially damage the new power flex battery.

No, the GTR board is not water proof.  Having said that, the new GTR boards are far superior to all previous generation boards as we have made every effort to seal up the electrical enclosures to prevent water getting in in the event of being caught out in the rain when riding. Riding in wet conditions is still very dangerous due to slippery surfaces and can put stress on the wheel bearings and motors, not to mention you get wet and dirty when riding.

Anyone can use the Explore by Evolve app, however the over the air update features and the customise dial will only work on the GTR series boards due to Bluetooth connectivity.

Samsung 35e cells have an expected capacity drop of 40% after around 500 cycles

No, each battery uses different connectors to assemble to the motor controller and they cannot fit between each other.

The GTR board will be its fastest when the battery has full charge.  As you use the skateboard the battery is losing power which results in a reduction in top speed during the ride.  Top speed will slowly reduce as the battery loses power.

Heat protection will be activated when the motors or battery are extremely hot.  Different riding styles can effect heat in different ways.  For example, if riding on grass with consistent speed changes, for the board to have enough power to move the rider it must use maximum current which in turn heats up the motors very quickly which may cause the board to go into heat protection mode.  If the rider mostly rides fast speeds on hard surfaces with small amounts of grass and hills for longer periods of time then the entire electric system heats up more evenly and will most likely not reach the heat protection modes.  The motors do cool down very quickly by riding efficiently (holding a speed on hard surfaces) or letting it rest for a few minutes.  The heat protection is necessary to protect the board from being over worked.
