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?
@Capta1nFaz2 жыл бұрын
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.

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 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@Luca-id9op3 жыл бұрын
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.
@esk8unity3 жыл бұрын
@@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.

@@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.

Maybe you are the Torque Board "fanboy" and most Evolve owners are just "happy customers" , right?

Now that you've had it for a month+, do you have any issues with the board ?
@BigMoney232232 жыл бұрын
@@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.

I still dont get why they cant make this boards water resistant a 2900 board should have these features they have answered this question on why they dont make this boards waterproof and they said its because its dirty to ride in the rain and its not safe
@contorta9603 жыл бұрын
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

I loved the video, but I have a concerned tho, with that much power, how’s the belt holding up ? With the boosted board v2, if I drive it crazy I cannot pull a lots from those belt, and you’re telling me that 6000 watts total won’t break the belt that easy ? I mean I’m curious
@eboardbrandon27303 жыл бұрын
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!

@rbrdly2 жыл бұрын
I DO like this board. I like the support network. I don't like the price - and Evolve has left a nasty taste in my mouth. I'm looking forward to my Ownboard Zeus arriving soon! Then for something different, maybe the Propel Endeavor Pro. There is certainly choice in esk8 right now. It doesn't matter what your flavour is. Good times ahead!

Lets hope this one has a better water seal than my GTR Bamboo. I had that 6 months and it seized up twice throwing me off. Evovle only covered it under warrenty once despite it being within warrenty. Which means my £1500 toy is now worthless unless I fork out hundreds to get it repaired. As you can tell I am not happy at all. You basically cannot ride it offroad in the UK without risking water ingress. It needs IP water resistance rating, then it would be awesome!
@ajplant962 жыл бұрын
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)

All the evolve haters.. look I’ve got a hurricane ultra bamboo, really nice board. My dads gone and got a Hadean bamboo and it’s better in many ways. Firstly, the ESC runs WAY cooler, my ESC on my hurricane is roasting hot after some heavy riding, the Hadean with my dad riding it who is heavier is just warm to the touch. With a 10 degrees C cooler reading. The motors also run around 7 degrees C cooler. The controller allows you to customise everything, from your torque curve, to your top speed and breaking. You can check your battery health along with many other helpful readings. Secondly, the Hadean is quicker in 80% of situations, it’s 0-15mph is brutal, and unmatched. It’s 15mph and over where my hurricane comes into its own. The board feel more premium, is built a little better, comes with lighting and an incredible 5A charger with built in fans so it runs completely cool. The trucks are also better than my hurricane. I love my hurricane, but I am happy to admit the Hadean is a beast. And yes you probably could build a DIY board to have these specs or go as fast, but just like you could make a golf as fast as a Porsche… it’s still not a Porsche. With Evolve you get a premium product, that is built premium and works fantastically.

Unfortunately a begode T4 EUC costs the same, goes faster, is just as portable, and multiplies the range, all with an 18' pneumatic tire and 100mm suspension travel. Eskate manufacturers need to up their game if rhey are to be offering the same price to utility ratio as other PEVs
