Not disagreeing with this review or the quality concerns but as a point of data, i have had 2 of the GT Bamboo boards for 7 years. Only had a one issue when i drained the battary to zero and it supermaned me. Still bullshit but i never had a problem again because i dont ride it to absolute zero charge after that. Both of them were purchased used and ive put about 300 miles on them each year. I still think they are too expensive and other options are much better but all in all mine have done me well and i ride them hard and fast.

Take it easy, my GT board still runs perfectly.

Miss my buddy so much. Cherish the days you got cuz they sure go fast... RIP Mr.Marley

Damn. Just got my gtr bamboo. Watching this at the start of 2024 and really hoping mines gonna be alright. I want it to last at least a year as then it will have paid for itself in bus Fair

Looks like a husky/Jindo mix. 😊

Awww. Beautiful pup. ❤

The best Honest review !

Evolve claims to be above everyone around them in the eSk8 community and evolve boards are truly built to break. Remotes too. I have ridden motocross most of my life and I have only had to go to the er once for a head injury, and that was while going maybe 4 or 5 mph and the board stopped like it hit a wall. No reason (except for the exceptional horrible craftsmanship. I paid over $2,000 for a board that I rode less than a week. I later researched myself, bought a board from China as much as I try avoiding that. The most expensive piece that may have to be replaced (except the battery, which is great, hot swappable, and cost $300) is the esc. It cost $150. I’ve ridden this Chinese board for almost 1,000 miles, rode it in pouring rain once, and it is still going. Evolve. What’s the average cost of a fairly common piece that may/will absolutely 100% have to be changed? How much is a new battery? The good thing is everyone knows this about evolve, and I am happy to say I literally see ZERO EVOLVE BOARDS when riding with friends now. They got a board with more power, more range, better built, and cheaper than evolve, but a lot is because we all start the answer to “what kind of board should I get?” With Anything except evolve!!! You guys suck so bad evolve.

Sadly, I have to agree. I absolutely LOVED my gtx bamboo and paid a premium price. First, there were remote connectivity issues...so I upgraded to the R2 (more $$) and then the regular drop out of one motor not working. To diagnose the issue, I had to open up the board and what a nightmare...what stupid, sloppy, cheap electrical assembly I found. Shame on you Evolve!! It was clear these guys are not interested in QUALITY. The whole aim was profit and maximizing buck$. The specs on this board are awesome and when it runs, life is sweet. But the crap design and crap quality control ensure the good times don't last long. I feel like I've been made a sucker and I resent it deeply. These boards are TOO expensive!!! We are being manipulated by greedy, dollar hungry extortionists. If they really put out high quality products we wouldn't care too much about price but the garbage they sold me!!!...your name is everything in business and as far as I'm concerned Evolve has put their reputation in the crapper. I'm no engineer or electrical genius but I could have told you to make take off acceleration smoother in the first controllers you put out...and now you have. Who are the morons in your design department or was it a deliberate marketing ploy to encourage upgrade and spend more $$$$. SHAME on you Evolve...SHAME!!

6 years and no comments?! Ive been wanting to so this for years. I have all the engine components the canoe etc. Im going to start chopping up the canoe this weekend. Im most curious about how it will handle at high speeds.

What a fucking legend rant and fair enough too! Mines water damaged hard and I'm trying to find info on repairs, nothing. Think I will take your advice and build one.

Look at this czcams.com/video/Tmztom17Qp4/video.html 😉🙂👍

O man....I need that in my life.where is the how 2 vid?

👏

Nice 👌

Wow your so funny 😑

Cool! This is about the simplest design that I’ve seen for a rail bike. Could you please do another video with more close up shots of the guide wheels, and explain how the mettle at the rear is attached to the bikes.

Far out!

Do you have a recommendation for better quality eboards? I have a feeling my exway x1 max was also specifically designed to be a piece of junk. Much like apple they're hard to maintain without the manufacturers help so if they're trash and purposely malfunctioning then ill need to get a new one

DUDEEE, are you still alive? My fcking GTR motors blow out every few weeks... literally.. is there something im missing? Im sick of going back and fourth with the customer service and a new one is 150euros.. is there actually just a tiny rock inside that needs to be blown out by opening it up?? There has to be more to this..

are you able to get the bearing out of the motor i have on and im trying to replace the bearings but completely agree with you on everything here

Been saying this for the longest time. $2000+ cost for JUNK!

Nice shop there! How many miles did you ride that board? Judging by tires that looks like a lot! Did you use other sets of tires too? off road? I have ridden my GT Bamboo for 5 years.. I bought it 2nd hand, low hours, I am 6'4" 230 lbs, battery just started giving out last year.. I used it for light duty filming.. traveling around.. Vacations, but not for daily Transportation or heavy use.. You can buy these on ebay in decent condition.. for fairly reasonable... I could not really expect that I could use a as commuter or high milage & in the rain for that price? I suppose someone could upgrade or DYI for a better product.. A lot of work & research to do it though..

I'll go ahead and run that ribbon to the dumpster for you.

1000000% agree with your video. Hadean also has to re-calibrate its remote and practically same shit from GTRs.

completely accurate.

I cooked a bamboo GT after about 2000 miles, put about 3500 on it before a full gut & rebuild. It had 1500 miles of the weirdest and most dangerous failures, a friend bought the GTR and it was doing bad stuff from day one. Odd drops, throttle stuck open, lock up & release for no reason, drops at full throttle - not to mention that heinous remote. Couldn't hammer on the GTR like I'd done with the GT, because it was not built for riders like me. It was built for hype and marketing. It was built for influencers to tear up protected lands at national parks. With the new ESC and remote on the GT, it simply shuts off and rolls if I tank the battery. No launching if I bail, no running away because it lost connection. Weird, right?

You sir, are absolutely on point. I've always said these boards, as they exit the factory in China, are pieces of crap. Assembled in Australia my a$$! They are made to break just after their warranty runs out. Planned obsolescence.

This video needs more views… I’m sharing it!

You share my link bro

Welcome back my friend

Why you still riding evolve? I thought you said it's shit lol 🤣

So which is a better safer reliable EBoard to buy??

Nice tool box

Brought to you in part by luxury autos

You have allways asked the weariest questions how's Marley he's looking happy

Good thinking !

What bridge is this

Heyyy who's a good Boy? That's awesome 😎 cool peeps I suppose ? Miss y'all stay safe

It's so pretty up north 🌿

Oh wow the bus is still here :D

And still sounding good.

Just wrap it in in a 2 inch asbestos layer and ur good

I'm so happy to see you and Marley having fun 💗

What happened to your carbon GTR review? Trying to show a friend... Really need more reviews like that showing the nitty gritty

PREECH !!!! THAT ISH IS GARBAGE !!!!!

I love seeing idiots like this on the road. Saw one this other day I wish I would've taken a picture of. Unbelievable amount of stuff in/on a Toyota Camry. Guaranteed ticket.

This is brutally on point! I say with a bamboo that's motor controller died not 6 weeks after purchase and when it died it slammed the brakes on. Got to love evolve for a good laugh. At least they're pricing what loyal customers they have left away now.
