Great video mate. Shame you stopped posting.
What is your height sir if dont mind? Im a newbie, but a lot are suggesting i go with long board since im 5’11..
I’m 5’8” but I don’t think height should be a big factor in your decision. Weight is more important. You should be thinking more about what you’re going to use the board for, where you will ride, what range you expect.
Thanks man! Yeah. Actually i just need 1 for work commute.. which is like 5km away with an uphill bridge.. summer time in middle east,, so temperature is increasing..

powersave feature is fucked lol takes way less time to charge remote than board
Thanks Brian, I have a Bamboo GTR and Stoke on order. Great info for me!
Russell Bones Awesome!! I’m glad you found it useful. Enjoy the boards and welcome to the Evolve family!!!
The Stoke is all I'm looking for in a board so it should be an easy decision but I'm now just looking for honest reviews and all I see is Evolve admiration from people that seem to get free boards or something, not to even mention the dirty trick they played in the chinaboard video. Making the decision to buy one pretty hard..
im ordering one now and making an honest review
how much is the board
Casper DOGO ARGENTINO The cost will depend on where you are located and what setup you get. If you go to the Evolve Skateboards site you can use the Board Builder to specify a board and then get a cost 👍🏼
Great Video!! It helped on my decision making...
What about top speed
How do you find the street wheels in an urban environment?
Biggest Pos evolve has put out! Don’t buy any of their product they are shit. Battery issues Opinion on Evolve's GTR choice of Samsung 35E. 1. GTR output claims: a. 20A consistent. b. 52A for 10 seconds burst. 2. Four parallel (4P) array of 35E at 25C/77F: a. 32A continuous discharge b. 60A maximum burst discharge 3. In a perfect environment, this fall within manufacture specifications. Esk8 is a harsh environment for electronics. 4. Note: a. Continuously pushing cells near recommended limits results in 60% capacity at 500 cycles. b. External temperatures in summer will rest higher then 25C, enclosed environment will not allow heat to dissipate as temperatures rise, increasing degradation. 5. Alternatives: a. High confidence that Evolve tested in relation to the Samsung 30Q. b. 35E sags an average of 0.1v more than the 30Q at 8A over a cycle period. In a 10 series (10S) configuration, that's 1v of ~36V. c. 35E contains ~14% more capacity than the 30Q. d. At 8A continuous; the 35E loses 8% cycle capacity, 30Q loses 1.7% ... resulting in a 8.4% difference in capacity. e. This is until 2.65V, however Evolve software cuts off power at 3V. In lab tests will be needed to compare capacity at a 3V cutoff, however I'm confident that this will bring margains even closer between the 35E and 30Q. *5b. Adds further concern. f. Over continuous cycle use, 35E will experience higher levels of degradation than the 30Q. 6. Conclusion: Evolve continues to design on manufacture datasheet limits. The choice of 35E was not wise due to the largest concern of degradation for; aggressive riders, AT off-road, hill areas, drag races. Minor concern for minor decrease in acceleration and top speed. 7. I will obtain a 35E for 3V cutoff in lab testing within the coming weeks. Rebuttals highly welcome!
Thanks, Brian!! I've been on the fence for a while, but you've made my decision easier. Stoke it is!!
Eric G Awesome bud!! Enjoy the ride 🤙🏼
Terrible video
LOL! Thanks for the feedback :-)
Nice, quick update. Do you have any affiliation with Evolve? How do you find those wheel on coarse roads like NZs? Would you be able to cross the road or use the road occasionally? Cheers mate.
Hey Jan :-) In answer to your first question. I'm the Evolve ambassador in New Zealand so..yes. And for your second question, of course. I rode all over the roads and pavements in NZ. In the video I was just trying to highlight that if riders were used to riding bigger diameter wheels, they needed to be aware of the reduced diameter.
Its just so much fun. So much torque and quick charge time.
I agree. The charge time is very short!
🤙🏽🙌🏼
Thanks, mate! I've been looking to buy one myself, and you might have just sold it to me.
Nice! I hope you get one as they really are so worth it 🤙🏼
Great review chap
Thanks! Always good fun chatting about the toys :-)
The Stoke has quickly become my fave board especially after customising the bushings...
Rich Jones I’m heading that way fast. Haven’t played with the bushings yet but I’m sure I will.
Good review Brian no loud music straight into it very good explained clear thank you
Hope you guys are rich, I've been through 5 remotes, 2 moters, 6 hubs, 8 belts, one battery and I need another one, and you cant get a remote they have been sold out for a year.
Dude! That's a sad sounding story :-( Where are you based and what sort of board do you have?
@@BrianLomas I'm outta long beach, ca. Carbon gt, when it works it's great but these are designed to break and be costly, as soon as I can find a remote mines going on ebay.
Cant wait to g et my carbon gtr on friday
Notice Studios Yes!! You’ll love it 🤙🏼
Ohh Yeahhh, NZ!
Chur bro :-)
Great review, thanks just brought one 👍🏼
Nice work!! Enjoy :-)
Nice trail
Hey great vid. How long does the board take to deliver? (Nz btw)
j com Thanks! Shipping is pretty quick in NZ as they have a local HQ/warehouse in Auckland. Give them a call for details +64 9 274 0409 :-)
Hey Bro. Nice videos and reviews. I'm in Auks. Wherebouts can I get one from. Here? Any on special?
Tonga Cooks You can buy direct from Evolve online in NZ (www.evolveskateboards.co.nz) or from Evolve HQ in East Tamaki (22 Polaris Place, East Tamaki, Auckland 2013 goo.gl/maps/XMYGK9JuBEqwbQdK7) or from Boardertown (Vic Park or Botany). There is a Black Friday special on right now too!!!
@@BrianLomas Thanks. Ordered one online Monday. Customized. AT Tyres and Street wheels. Prism led lights and shred lights front and back. Should be picking up Wednesday. I'm new to E Skateboards. I'm a regular E Scooter rider. High powered fast ones. E Bikes too. How's it on footpaths. Bumps and cracks? Shall I practice in a open space carpark. Any advice?? Thanks again Bro :)

Super helpful review! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad you found it worth watching :-)
I've bean saving for an electric board for a while and when I saw the trailer for the GTR I knew it was the board for me, thanks a lot for all of the extra info on it.
You're welcome Joshua and good luck with the saving!
How has the board been so far?
it's an amazing board and I would recommend it, just don't drop the remote though ;)
$$$$$$$$$$$$
...and worth every one of them :-)
Hey mate, looking at getting my first evolve board. Have had 2 hub motor e-boards in the past that have lasted all of 4 months which has lead me to these guys. A lot of mixed reviews online with the evolve brand. Remote connection being one of the major issues I've read online and motor failures. Have you experienced any of the following with their new gtr? And do these boards free roll if the remote was to ever disconnect or if the board was to ever turn off on its own? Have read a lot of comments about riders being thrown off their boards due to disconnection and the board slamming the breaks on its own. Other than that thank you for this informative review. Keep em coming 👌
Good questions and I totally get why you're asking them. I'll answer from my personal experience. I've been riding the Carbon GTR since they were launched earlier this year. I've done a lot of miles/kilometres in all kinds of situations (city, suburban, rural etc.) and I've been riding both street and AT setups. I've also done a bunch of testing (not shown in the video) to see how far I can push the board. The result has been zero disconnects and for me that equals riding and doing stuff without worrying about it at all. The changes that Evolve made to the batteries and the software that manages them means that there are no surprises. If you manage to push the board so hard that the software needs to protect the battery in some way, then you get plenty of haptic feedback (vibration) from the remote before there is any mode change. I have a suspicion that there are quite a few riders that don't read the manual and ignore this with unpleasant AND misreported consequences. If you learn how the remote and board work together, understand the feedback it gives you and maintain your gear...you'll be issue free. That said, I'll answer the roll question for completeness. IF there is a loss of power, the board will not brake. It will roll. BUT there are some factors that you need to consider relating to how well it will roll. Firstly, there are belts, gears and motors connected to the wheels so it will NOT be a friction-less roll. There will be some resistance depending on how tight your belts are and what wheels you are using. Secondly, how much loss of momentum you experience when you start to roll will be affected by how fast you're going, whether you're travelling uphill or downhill etc. A sudden loss of power when travelling uphill at high speed results in a rapid change in momentum (physics 101!) that many riders interpret as their board braking when in fact no active braking has occurred. Lastly, I let my young kids ride my Carbon GTR... which kind of says it all really :-)
@@BrianLomas you're bloody legend. Thanks for replying, if your ever on the gold coast give us a buzz.. might see you out on the road. Definitely put me at ease with my decision! Buying this asap 🙂👌 From Wanganui by the way, so I think it's safe to say I can trust another kiwi on here with their reviews haha
@@mulumariner5304 All good bud. LOVE Wanganui!!! You won't regret getting one and having Evolve HQ on your doorstep makes it a double win for you!!
Awesome. I have a bamboo gtr. Tip of the day from me.- get a 6" wheel kit. It's awesome!!! Especially for carving. I have 97mm, 6 and 7" AT kits. They all great for different things.
Yes!! I bought a 6" kit a couple of days ago and I'm looking forward to trying them out (when it stops raining!!). I've heard really good things about them for urban riding.
I was actually wondering if the 6” were better all arounders, Id like to see a review between the 6 and 7”
Thanks for the info!
wow what a beautiful place to ride! Loved this and looking forward to more rides from you 👍
Cheers Tim. Sometimes it's easy to forget what an amazing place I live in but my board gets me out enjoying it so much!!
What can I say.. WOW.. nice place... Nice review.. nice video.... NICE.Nice nice..🥰
David Thielemans Lovely words. Thanks David and ride safe!
Time to start saving for a GTR, i have GT and love it, great vid sir
Thanks 🙏 You won't be disappointed when you get the GTR. A definite evolution from the GTs.
Same!!!
Great review Brian! I just got my GTR today and just had a quick test ride. It feels smoooooth!
That's awesome. Are you on the local NZ Evolve group?
Is the board holding up?
Sorry for the slow reply. The answer is...absolutely. Loving riding it :-)
Nice video.. cant wait for part 2.. grtz #evolve_belgium
Part 2 is out...FINALLY!!! :-) czcams.com/video/KdhPZdID2aM/video.html
Awesome video , I loves a good unboxing video
That carbon fiber looks clean!😍
I love the finish. It is stealth!
Good review. I’m going with the Lacroix Nazaré though.
Thanks bud. They are quite different boards but if that's the board that meets your needs and it is in your budget, then that's the board you should buy :-) In New Zealand, where I live, Evolve have an office and local support so it is a WAY better option for me.
I still haven’t received mine and I got an email stating they have then and soon shipping out. Also still waiting on my Onewheel XR too.
Sorry to hear that. I hope they both arrive soon!!!
Brian Lomas same here.... keep those videos coming....
Solid Unboxing video Brian, simple and to the point. Are you in Aus or NZ?
Thanks Dean....NZ 👍🏻😀
@@BrianLomas ah Kia Ora, maybe see you at a group ride sometime.

Thanks! Working on it :-)
Nice job Brian, looking forward to Part 2
Thanks Michael. I'm working on it :-)
cool review. I'm loving my BBGTR, but that matte finish carbon looks sik as! Enjoy!
Hey Lee. I know what you mean! I keep getting asked which one I prefer and then getting told that my answer is unhelpful when I say "both"!!! 😂😂
For the test ride, please don't put music over the sound of the board : )
Lol! I know exactly what you mean. I'll do my best to get some footage with the actual motor noise 👍🏻
@@BrianLomas Thanks! I appreciate that, i orderd myself a Carbon GTR nearly 4 weeks ago, still waiting for it though : )
@@xXIOSCARIXx Good stuff. I'm sure it won't be too far away. You're going to love it!
@@xXIOSCARIXxhearing that scares me a little bit since i ordered a week later on the 28th.
@@marcelbee Evolve are saying that most people ordered within the first 3~ days, i belive i will have my board at the end of this month, yours may not arrive until early july - but what do i know, they seem pretty busy sending those GTRs out
Best unboxing i have ever seen of this board, and i have seen all of them lol
Thanks Oscar 👍🏻😀
Great video must say. Nice detailing and keep up being legit
Thanks for the feedback. I was told just to be myself and say what I actually felt. Hopefully that works 😂
