“I'm really impressed with the build quality of this board - most impressive and some top-end bike companies could learn a trick or two from Evolve. Excellent delivery and boxing - this took literally 22 hours from ordering to arrive. A pleasure to unbox and kicking myself for not filming it. Great instructions and kit that comes with the board that includes spare bolts.
In terms of the ride, I'm bloody loving it and every time I head out the experience just keeps getting better. Totally comfortable with GTR mode now and loving the speed and torque.
My only issue is I wish I had paid extra for a Hadean Carbon knowing how much I enjoy riding. I'll upgrade at some stage I suspect but in the meantime the range and speed is more than enough for my local riding.
Absolutely loving it!”
Hi Terry!
Thanks for taking the time to review! We are stoked to hear that you have been enjoying your GTR and appreciate all the "little" things we put into the experience! :)

“This board was a gift for my fiftieth. After a decade of snowboarding I moved from the mountains. Riding the carbon has bought back the spark. It’s an incredible board and I ride every chance I have. The board is robust and responsive. The team at Evolve provide wonderful service and support. My new passion.”
Hi Wendy,

“Rode my mates one for 5 minutes then went inside and ordered mine!!! had it 5 months now and I'm on my third set of tires now... i loved snowboarding but hated the cost, now i snowboard every day :)”
“I would first like to preface that I was the December giveaway winner... so although I got this board for free, I am still incredibly grateful to have received it. That being said, I thought it be best to give an honest review as if I were to have Paid for it.
To start this boards looks incredible, the carbon fiber deck, and hexagon grip tape is downright beautiful. I know a lot of people don’t like the huge logo on the bottom but I think it looks sick!
Now with that being said... this product is kinda a joke. If I’m paying nearly $1500 I feel like it should go much faster than 20 miles an hour with all-terrain tires. Not to mention I only hit about 17 to 18 once the battery gets under 40%. Within the first week a couple of the hexagon grip tape patches start sliding around and falling off. Within the first week my $200 remote screen shattered and I was forced to get a new one. Before even taking it on the first ride the ESC started smoking everywhere and burnt up. Granted both of these things were quickly fixed by evolve which I very much appreciate, I feel like in a previous board that should never have happened. After riding around on some gravel paths in about 75° the rear motors immediately overheated and I was forced to get off. Last, I get about 9 miles of range with the all-terrain tires which is nothing close to advertised. I regularly clean my board and now one of the rear motors and tires squeaks very bad. Gorgeous looking board? YES ABSOLUTELY! The “ Ferrari of electric skateboards“... no, not even close”
Hi Ian,
We are disappointed to receive this review from you but are glad you have bought this to our attention. Next time, you are welcome to reach out to us directly.
Our boards are built for adventure, they’re exposed to outdoor environments and different riding conditions. For this reason, we recommend treating your board right and applying proper maintenance regularly. Your reduced range, overheating concerns and low speeds can all be directly attributed to low tire pressure. A simple fix and something that should be monitored now you have an all terrain board.
The hexagon grip tape is held on with adhesive. If they are heated up and dirt gets underneath, they may dislodge. If this happens and your board is relatively new, you’re welcome to reach out to us for replacement pieces, we’d be happy to help.
We always recommend using the remote’s lanyard and even a remote cover to add protection to your remote. Luckily, our service centre is based in the USA so we are able to offer repairs with a quick turnaround.
We sincerely apologise that the motor controller failed. This is a rare event and we are glad to hear that this was resolved quickly.
The squeak you hear is most likely the bushings and pivot cups needing to be regreased. We have many videos on YouTube showing you how to service and maintain your board. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to reach out and our friendly team will assist.https://www.youtube.com/user/evolveSkateboards/videos
We hope this has helped shine some light.

“The GTR carbon really gives me a feeling like I'm riding my snowboard or even better. Highly recommend booking a test ride before making your purchase so that you know which one suits you better!.”
