      Electroheads only thing I would say is the lockup’s I think it might be the belly of the beast and with electric vehicles this may happen plus your screen shots where on other boards such as the GTx and the gt series

    • @Electroheads
      @Electroheads  4 роки тому

      ​@@Esk8Nomad I don't think we should have to accept random brake lockups as an unavoidable part of e-skating, especially considering these lockups don't see to be anywhere near as common with other brands. Re the screenshots you're absolutely right - all the examples I found involved Evolve longboards, no recorded incidents with the Stoke that I'm aware of. But because we don't know what causes it, it's hard to know which boards are/aren't affected!

    • @Esk8Nomad
      @Esk8Nomad 4 роки тому

      Electroheads I think we are in a grey area atm with that fault but I know that evolve had already made improvements with the system already remaking the BMS a few times now so I know they are always looking at ways to improve the system

    Nope. No lock up wheels here. I think it's a very sensitive trigger and if you touch it slightly at speed, it will propeller you off!
    Love my board. Riding it today with hardly any traffic is so much fun.
    Did you exchange your orange wheels for the Blue? The Blue are more for street rides but I want someone out there to design a compatible 85mm terrain wheel. That would be awesome!

    I’m here in the UK am looking at a alternative to driving in to town which is about 2miles away, but too far to waste time on foot, And it’s annoying to drive an pay for parking etc. I would also like to use it to just have fun. However bumpy poor roads and pavements concern me as you know being a UK resident….so should I be looking at the evolve longboards with the ATV wheels to make sure to solve this problem? Thoughts….solutions?

    That’s what truck risers are for if you want to put bigger wheels on your board with no bite.
    Also helps with vibration.
    Just no your range will go down.

    I do think the Mallgrab will take on a new meaning with the weight and unwieldyness of electric skateboards, does help to carry them over your shoulder like a jacket from Miami Vice, likewise with the Butler towel approach.

  • @jarinj1
    @jarinj1 4 роки тому +4

    Unfair that you're not recommending the board based off incidents that have happened with the previous generation boards that evolve have made. If you actually look at the screenshots that you've posted in this video it shows that the boards were either the GTX or the GT boards, and if someone has said that they were thrown off unexpectedly on a GTR then its highly likely that they touched the brakes by accident. Because the brakes get stronger when you ride faster, people are not expecting the board to suddenly stop when they brush past that brake trigger

    also, this malfunction is mostly user error.. ppl used to the rollerball remote from the boosted riders. my first board was evolve so it didnt happen to me UNTIL i got a different brand, and i threw myself off months after i got used to the roller ball remote. as you know, all companies will have there malfunctions. i seen meepos catch fire , and vestar enclousures fall apart at 19mph. also, lacroix boards r throwing ppl off.. thats a 4000 dollar board. .. which board do u think is worth a less price that evolve should be more of a closer price tag to? i dont see any other electric longboards for u to compare the quality and price tag to on your page

    No, it isn't a conspiracy. My GTR Bamboo (three days old or should I say "new") locked its brakes, stopped on a dime and I was thrown of the board and got brused up badly. Have the same uneasy feeling that the board will lock up again. Such a shame, I really love the board and its performance. Have contacted the seller, no answer. What is however really sad/strange/stupid, is that the board can hit the brakes full on like that. It shouldnt be able to do it at all! Whats the point! I really want to go out again and try, but believe me, it will be scary. My remote broke so Ive ordered a new one. Maybe there was a problem with the remote in the first place... I dont wanna end up in hospital...or worse in the morge.

    1st off evolve and anybody that says “you will get wheel bite running bigger wheels” is full of shit! I personally run 97mm on mine and I have another with 100mm! I added a 1/4 riser beneath the trucks and I’ve NEVER had wheel bite! 2nd the brakes don’t just lock up!! The spring inside the remote breaks and it causes the remote to have a loose trigger and it can slam on the brakes while doing speeds ! I have 3 stokes all setup differently and I love mine! Go follow my UA-cam channel for all the details including my prototype kit that will be releasing soon!!

    All I could tell you man is that brake issue is not a lie mine has done it a couple times when is brand new man thing works perfect man has the best speed everything after you break it in man it loses its certain speed it loses a lot of stuff man it's fun I just had to buy me a new controller because they wouldn't replace the control they gave me that was messed up it cost me $181 with the shipping and everything poor customer service you have to spend more money to get something fixed then them to send you something after you spent $1,900 on something I have the GTR bamboo and this board is awesome when I feel safe enough I can tear it up but that brake issue is a serious issue and your controller disconnecting and saying your boards 100% when it's not when you been riding it for almost like 30 minutes they got a lot of issues going on with their board still and I wouldn't recommend this board at all a matter of fact that board is sitting in my closet and I will never buy from evolve again I'm not going to invest in them a penny more I have switched to the Baja board no issues good customer service much way better board for the price even though it's more expensive it was worth every penny and had it for over a year now and not one issue it's about the service about the board and you are right you're paying for the name and evolve ain't shitt trust me don't invest in something you do not feel safe or cannot trust

    great review until u shot yourself in the foot about the “specs vs other cheaper boards”. yet in the beginning u said specs dont mean shit. which i agree. u got raldy, ownboard, vestar, verreal, and a few others TRYN to make cheaper AT boards and they all FAILED. butttt the specs on paper are better.. same for the riptide shortboard. the ownboard shortboard, and a few others.. no electric board company under $2000 us dollars is better than evolve in general. and sure as hell no one has the same customer service. other than that, great review
