Crazy thing is this comment is super true my boards a DIY with competitive specs currently less than 1k YOU ABSOLUTELY WILL find a board with these specs and better price

@@staticex9228 unfortunately diy is pretty freaking complicated.

I'm currently building a 2.2k board for off-roading with 63100 motors and a 12s4p battery that would absolutely dominate his board. Every time he says this board has the best specs out there, I have to chuckle to myself. Is he just that clueless or did he intentionally leave out more powerful boards?

Absolutely, all DIY builds (not just e-boards) are far cheaper due to the individual performing the manufacturing, sourcing of components, testing, and debugging. $2900 for a new evolve is a lot to someone who’s experienced with the process, but it’s more than reasonable to any newcomers. I highly recommended a DIY over an evolve to a friend who had a major accident upon completing the build. Unfortunately they then pushed for regulations on electric mobility devices which has virtually destroyed the E-skate community here due to their injuries. It also destroyed our friendship. Highly recommend DIY still, but only if you have significant knowledge and experience with skateboarding and DIY. It’s not worth saving 1k if it puts you in a wheelchair and ruins everyone else’s enjoyment. Keep the knowledge tight brothers! It’s not worth some idiot trying to cut corners and then pushing for reforms to get their medical bills paid.

Lol yeah turns out meepo can also make a way better board for half

I agree, it makes me think Boosted probably has a patent for their style controller. Evolve probably doesn't want to risk a lawsuit if boosted actually has a patent

nah. a lot of evolve riders like myself love 2 triggers/levers. riding motorcycles, dirtbikes, quads, mopeds, go carts, and sports cars. always a separate brake lever with a separate throttle lever/peddal.. i understand why boosted riders dont like it, but jus like Sam said in his gtr review, it always grows on the rider. the only crappy part was it was cheaper fragile plastic. no more tho 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I think it has to do with the off-road capabilities of the board. If you are going over numbs and stuff it will be significantly harder to hold a wheel down. With that type of controller there might be jerky acceleration if you are going over bumps.

@@Luca-id9op i respectfully disagree. have u used the remote yet? let alone off road? if ur finger slips on a scroll wheel, its veryyy responsive due to its tighter internal spring and its natural build. the push in throttle is more mushy and lose feeling rather then a tap and take off feel. but regardless, if u are trying to off road, and u keep havin remote issues because of ur finger moving on the throttle too much, then u shouldn’t be riding lol. (not u, jus saying in general)

The evolve remote is set up perfectly fine. More companies should be following in that style.

*(lives in nyc) doesn’t have a single video

LMAO SAME

Dkwan prolly smiling lol

My man! Buy 2 lol. Its hilarious how he didnt compare it to other boards lol.

@@indigowolf8712 every time I see that guy I feel like there is no honest opinion in his video regarding Evolve. Evolve's mutt.

I fully agree. Sam deserves much more followers for his content.

I like this review, but he sounds biased or at least this review for this board is almost like the board lives in vacuum where other (better options) boards don't exist. Also most riders don't just ride urethane.

Now that you've had the hadean for afew months.... do you have any issues with the board at all ? like, anything at all, even a funny noise or a wobbling part.

​​@@LORFCASTER battery dies all of a sudden. around 30%. Also I should have waited until now. They have lowered the prices down SIGNIFICANTLY. I bought my hadean(2022) BAMBOO 2n1 for 2,399. Now the price is 1,849. (2024) Also Now , I could buy the hadean CARBON 2n1 for 2,149. And it's still cheaper.

yo you also here, even if this fits your riding style it doesn't fit any person's budget

It's how some of us like to ride, do what makes you comfortable and not worry about what others do

@Hell's favorite Salty Masshole no, it’s your first board. But when I ride my Wowgo AT2 with my friend who has a evolve you can tell the difference when off roading. For that price tho, you’ll be fine.

Just bought a Carbon GTR a few weeks ago. Just rode over 100km with it so far. I can't fault it.

@Hell's favorite Salty Masshole there is a good reason the board was that cheap... Lol

😆 if only that were true 😆

BRUH MEEEPO EXISTS

Nobody :)) I have older Bamboo GTR with these 107mm wheels and it is almost impossible to ride on wet surface. Rear wheels are spinning instantly and whole board slides. Maybe with all terrain wheels, but torque of these boards is so high that without some traction control, it will be impossible to accelerate on snow.

@@Sesulak You’re not kidding about it being impossible to ride these boards on wet ground if you’re using 107 wheels, the other day i went over some wet leaves and flew off sideways into the ground…definitely learnt my lesson.

Exaaaaccttly

Yes but its a source of many crashes for people that dont know about the accell shutoff and if the brake trims are too sensitive

@@LulzRoyce that definitely true

There is an app where you can adjust top speed, acceleration and breaking. So you can tweak it to the smoothest chillest ride out there, or go back to beast mode.

thanks fedor

Yeah this thing is overtly expensive, but the propel is 40 pounds. The onsra black carve 2 or the unknownboard are both cheaper options and have similar if not better specs.

@Hnilička Lukáš Propel is one of the huge boards type that don't even qualify as a skateboard anymore (like baja, lacroix etc) the atlas 4wd is comparable in design... but it has very shitty range (for me riding aggressively and in different terrain runs out of juice in 10-12 miles.)

@@DB-hm7mu agree, I bought the propel but for a different purpose. I also own a boosted board which has shitty range but it’s a skateboard so it isn’t very heavy either. I actually think that atlas and evolve with the big wheels are also close to not being skateboards imo

@@jacobskjdtsrensen9425 very close indeed...which its why comparing them to larger boards doesn't even make sense

@@DB-hm7mu "not a company" onsra still manages to produce better board than "company" evolve

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zp17mK2LtZ_Pips.html Youll go broke on repairs if you buy one like i did 😂😂

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLF7dN2jydCtgWw.html Not here to put down any board type or company but also the top of the line boards have their issues. Just sayin'.

@@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco everything in life has its problems. Someone buys a Ford escort and problems. Someone buys a Bugatti and problems. Some boards have sloppy double kingpin trucks and some boards have something advanced that significantly reduces speed wobbles to keep the board stable. Some boards lock up frequently and consistently across the board and some rarely malfunction. Evolve had the nerve to do a comparison between their board as opposed to “China boards.” Hmmm, let’s look a bit closer at because maybe you may have missed that. The evolve gtr is made and assembled in China just like the boards that were compared sooooo evolve boards are China boards as per their own definition as per their videos and what they say. I have an arsenal of boards. The only boards I have ever sold were my gtr boards. I had both. Yes I had some good times on them when they weren’t kicking me off or overheating, but for the money I invested it was a big loss. They, evolve, are great at marketing hence all the fan boys. Nobody is really talking about the new torque board that is an unbelievable product that’s fairly new. They suck at marketing is all. If the Hadean had real ESK8 trucks, and they fixed their ESC it may be a great board and worth the money. That’s not the case. They can get away with that because of their marketing and friendly customer service. That’s their smoke screen and a lot of ppl are buying into it. I just have learned a few things since I got into this amazing sport. It’s nothing to be butt hurt over. I mean spend all that money to get less. I just chose otherwise. Cheers Herman. Sorry for the late reply.

@@myrap8you No way Evolve has sloppy dkp-trucks, or at least not more sloppy as an Onsra, Exway, Lycaon,... If you want to go +35miles , and don't want or need to do tight turns other type of trucks or more suited for you for sure, doesn't imply dkp-trucks are sloppy, it's just different style. You prefer your Lacroix, which you put up in comparison with the Hadean, but I read in another comment your Lacroix board is mostly under repair? You bought a second GTR just to make sure it's crap? Maybe you are the Torque Board "fanboy" and most Evolve owners are just "happy customers" , right? Btw:I know the Atlas video and "China board" discussion, silly video of Evolve which they probably regret making, just as Exway regrets shipping boards with wrong batteries or Lacroix regrets producing unbalanced wheels, still all good companies with excellent boards.

@@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco welp I hate to break it to you Herman, but I ordered both GTRs simultaneously as my first two boards, oops. You compared the Lacroix to the Evolve hence your link to the Lacroix that you posted Herman lol. The metroboard and the NYC Kaly do tight turns and they both exceed 35 mph sooooo ummmm? Herman, the metroboard has double kingpin trucks that are not sloppy sir. Although I have not rode the new Evolve board I did own 2 along with all the other boards discussed if you had done all your research. Herman being that I have owned Evolve boards (with the same trucks in this discussion), Lacroix, Kaly, Metroboard, boosted, onewheel, and a torque board. I have ridden all of these hundreds of miles each and most of them thousands. Do you own any of these boards to be so well informed? Herman, none of my boards that I own stay my favorite forever. I keep the good ones tho, but the not so good went bye bye. Herman, these are merely my experiences and opinions. They are not attack on you Herman. Enjoy your evening sir :)

@@myrap8you you stated that "Lacroix seems a more solid choice", not me. I have not ridden a Metroboard or Lacroix, but I would like to. I am sure these are nice boards with pro's and cons depending on type of usage, riding style and what your main criteria are.Sorry to hear your Evolve boards had problems while so many others have no issues whatsoever. There 's tons of new boards being released , exciting e-skate times ahead.

He’s got something going with evolve so unfortunately I don’t think he can make reviews or ride other better boards

it won't come close

@@ewanbristow the 4WD would blow it out of the water in everything except range, the 2wd would probably only be able to keep up.

Hadean vs 4wd atlas drag race came close. Torque is win for hadean it atlas has faster top speed so that's why it came first at finish line. Imagine hadean had 4 wd

I haven't even tried the top acceleration on the atlas. It already feels like it could just flip me backwards

I would still get a used boosted. You can get a very good used board for $700. Boosted community is still strong and have been able to help with servicing boards.

@@CHARLIEBITESHARD honestly that's what I've been thinking about doing. I'm moving to Vegas this year and I think it would be so sick to bomb around that town on a boosted. You think I'll need to travel to New York to make that kind of deal or do you think I could do that online? Traveling to New York is in the cards next year.

@@SeniorWhoopyIRL You can purchase online or on craigslist/Facebook marketplace. The problem is that you can't travel with an extended range battery. You would need to remove and ship the battery if traveling by air.

@@bobbymeyers7043 😐 ya, The battery is so large it makes for complications when traveling by air, and I do plan to be traveling by air often so this is a worry.

evolve won't drop its price never but the competition is getting g better and better so in a year there probably will be a board like this for 1500 bucks

I would think it would be the same as the GTR

Polyurethane wheels have next to no traction on wet surfaces. You’re gonna fall before you flood the board.

Vents have no direct contact with inner circuit/electronics

Get the bamboo, no vents. Unless they're just a gimmick 😋

He said yes under the condition he gets a 20 second head start.

This comment aged so well considering the production boards the customer buys come with Lishen cells that aren’t specced anywhere near the output the Samsung 40T cells they tell people on the downlow they used (in the demo units/their personal boards only), and the boards have been cutting out and throwing people off consistently like they did Zac Petterson during his review vid.

@@ajplant96 wait...they used generic 40t cells? Are you kidding? I'd say they're a Meepo in a fancy costume, but even Meepo has used genuine cells from day one...

@@emilydavis842 Yep that 140a (or 48a?) continuous current (120* if you look past manufacturers claims in favour of real world tests) provides about as much punch as a gtr once you hit half battery on the hadean.

i drove my onsra black carve 2 for over 7 months on the streets in germany with high speed and had no problems yet

the reason he didnt because all these other boards look shit, the metro board looks out of 2001 the evolve brand is the crème de la crème of eskates

@@WilliamCronin Ok so I can agree with that on the WowGo AT2 but its still a relevant competitor. And your comment on the MetroBoard x is patently wrong. They're old boards yes but the Metroboard X IMO looks better you really need to check yourself on that. Also your Crème De La Crème Statement, your talking about a board company which just started using FOC, Evolve requires calibrating or reconnecting remotes all the time other boards don't need this after first turning on and finally upgrading to 63mm motors which don't overheat on hills. And you have to pay $2,900 USD / $3600 AUD to get industry standard features LOL. Do you even own an esk8 I just see a lot of mountain biking vids (TBH your makara peak vid looked like fun). FYI MetroBoard X: metro-board.com/e-skate-shop/all-terrain-electric-skateboard-metroboardx/ Oh and see how your Crème Da La Crème fairs in the hill climb test: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esl-g7GhyJ_Qp4k.html

@@platapussy_6942 well personally i would just get an evolve as they as my favourite, and I do own a eskate. built one myself to get to school on haha.

@@WilliamCronin ahh DIY the best brand of esk8 around. You have my respect 🙏 Sir.

@@platapussy_6942 💨💨💨💨

Now that you've had it for a month+, do you have any issues with the board ?

@@LORFCASTER actually yes, luckily I bought the extended warranty, one of the lights below the deck shows 2 different colors for maybe 4/5 of the available colors to choose, and that same LED doesn’t strobe when braking. I found pressing down on the bottom of the deck fixes it but only temporarily. I also can’t save rides to the evolve app/or set custom colors of the lights-and I also have an issue pairing the board to the app. I contacted evolve already and plan on sending it in for repairs. I’m not that concerned since it’s winter time anyway. It’s an awesome ride, rediculous acceleration and going from a bamboo GT with the battery sag it’s nice to not need to always need to charge it before any ride. I can ride multiple times on one charge. If your on the fence just bite the bullet and get the warranty.

With pneumatics can ride in rain most definitely. Scooters have been water resistant for a long time, esk8 will eventually catch up but not starting with evolve

The evolve belts are much thicker than the boosted ones! I used to ride a Boosted and I broke belts all the time. With the GTR I have I’ve only broken 1 in the course of a year!

@@eboardbrandon2730 that’s the answer I needed to hear ! I’ve got to say that I appreciate a lot boosted board but now that there’re out, I start to love more and more evolve, however the price 😓

I really like the GTX controller, hold the Hadean's controller last week, and it's significantly heavier. But I really like it, feels like a tank.

Warranty doesn’t cover water if they don’t give the product an official IP rating (that said yes they should be working towards actually sealing the boards)

Lmao i hope not

@@adomce1996 thought the exact same evolve is just a shitty company way overpriced this review was really biased almost seemed like an ad

Definitely not no go to electric board lmfao 🤣

No you don't lol

And I only paid $1500 new in the US, would've never paid a penny more, can't imagine almost paying double, crazy, when there is so many better options for much less costs
