@@averageeskatereviews I'm thinking about buying in store. Do you reckon because I'm not using a code I will be able to blag some freebies instead like motor guard and maybe a helmet ?!
Nice honest review, but a bit average. I don't think I'd rush out and buy over taking my 12s8p 18650 segmented and flexible evolve GT on thanes that reaches 60kmh though. It's hard to look at consumer boards with respect after going down the DIY path. Yes, the fibreglass is itchy and horrible to work with, and the battery packs are as scary to work with as the boards are to ride, but it's worth it. You're definitely right about boards not riding like skateboards. My lonestar supersports best attribute is making me feel better about the boards I've built myself.
Your comparison to Apple is spot on. Couldn’t have said it better. Appealing to the majority, setting the standard, innovating puts you at the top, like it or not, haters. You don’t have to like them or use them but if you can’t appreciate what evolve is to the Esk8 community you’re just a dumb person.
Awesome to have you back my man, cant wait for the review! Also great to see this board side by side with the Hadean, try to do the same with the Carbon? Although Carbon should just have a grippier tape on it. Bamboo seems much thicker with the extra layer, weight a bit higher also I guess. Try to do the sideshot acceleration test like some do, camera on tripod from far away and then just paste the Hadean footage on the top and Diablo on the bottom slice. Maybe get a GoPro helmet so you can do POV footage or the Insta360 stick to have some great third person footage.
So this board is evolves new board . Twice the price as all the other boards with these specifications. And not using any of the new tech that has come out over the last year . Yes it's better than the Hayden. But let's be honest that's what the other companies have been selling for 1000 to 1200 dollars all last year . Yes the trucks are nice . But not that much better . My point is that Evolve is now running last in the stakes of tech , deck . range , and feel . And as far as that tank type board you are on about . Try the ace deck x1 . Or a pivot from propel . Both a lot cheaper and better in different ways.
WARRENTY IS VOIDED BY WATER!!!! Below is a copy and paste straight from the website, dont ride in the wet (personal expericnce) or even moist in the UK the splashes from the wheel wet the bottom of the deck and the droplets make their way into the enclosure same goes with water on top of the board it makes it way down the screws please be mindful of this when purchasing ANY evolve board, i learned my lesson and stick to exway or onsra given they give an actual IP code rating. Is the GTR2 Waterproof? Updated 3 months ago We also do but in newer models, we have made every effort we can to protect the electrical components in accidental situations. The Hadean, GTR and Stoke Series 1 and 2 have dust seals that run the perimeter of the casing, along with conformal coating as added element protection. Although we have taken this extra effort, the electronics, bearings and other components may be
@@averageeskatereviews thank you, diablo is a great spec board and i would potentially be buying it if they gave waterproofing and fixed the motor screw issue, its a shame really.
This is what the Hadean should have been, being a Hadean owner it is not worth an extra $3k to upgrade, will see what happens over the next 2 years before I pull the trigger on another ride.
I enjoyed your video on first impressions, and im hoping you touch on things like new remote functionality, built in lights, specs of stock hardware such as bushings and wheels, and the different ways to upgrade/configure a board, when i watch the full review. I purchased one on backorder and couldn't be more excited for the day it arrives. These guys have always done right by me, and ive had immeasurable fun on the carbon GT for the record
I’ve got 2 Hadean carbons and have ordered the Diablo carbon. On both of my Hadean’s I have taped up the cooling slots underneath for more water resistance. I’ve killed one and cost over $1000 to get repaired. And the evolve tech told me water can get to electronics through those slots. I have not experienced any downside to this mod.
I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this until I saw that price tag and laughed For that much money, I'll get an atlas for a little bit cheaper with fast charging It's funny you call them The Apple company of electric skateboards. That's exactly what I think about when I see Evolve. Overpriced, you can get the same ride if not better for hundreds of dollars cheaper I had the Hadean and the first Gen gtr carbon I regret I didn't find propel sooner
I was sitting on the website yesterday at 19.00, by 19.02 I’d bought a Hadian Diablo. It ships late August😢 And you have a Diablo already! But great review, first time I’ve seen you, but won’t be the last- I like your presentation skills - buttons clicked!
What makes you say that the battery will "allow [...] much better power" ? If I compare Lishen LR2170LA to Samsung 50S data sheet that's not what I see 🕵♂
@@benjaminzuideveld5257It’s not hard to output more than the hadean, a fancy throttle curve to make the initial board response jerky isn’t really a display of power. The hadean even looked like it was struggling against the gtr for a bit in their drag race clips as if it wasn’t even in corsa mode, which just reminds me of the exway flex comparison they did…Throwing out numbers like 200 amps and 180 amps when the battery is limited to 80 amps (4000 watts max) by temperature and the motors 70 amps x2 to get 3500 watts each isn’t really groundbreaking either, it’s the low end of what similar form DIY boards have been capable of since 2018.
Not for the cheap-o 👎 . let me know when you find a 2 in 1 production board with more power, more features, better remote, and better customer service for less.. No such thing. so is it actually too expensive? Or you are just cheap… cringe*
@@eboardlifestyle now now no need to be so defensive...I have enough boards to know the difference & i would still say its a bit pricey that said the improvements are needed to bring back interest in these boards to be competitive again...
@@Steven-qm1xo didnt like the truth huh? still refuses to name a production 2 in 1 board with more features, power, polish and smoother power delivery with better customer service for less $$$$ . let me know when you find it. Until then, your opinion holds 0 logic.
@@averageeskatereviews No sir - not even CLOSE to that. This was under optimal conditions; using street wheels on a paved bike path while cruising at 75% speed on a 70 degree day while scoping bikinis - but I got a personal best 26 miles out of a charge. I normally ride faster/harder but nothing like what I see you doing here. 50 miles would be just about perfect so I was a little bummed when you guestimated the range at 25 miles but let's see your review after field testing. I've been considering a battery-pack that straps to the board & doubles the range but it destroys the look of the board. Probably adds 10 pounds too.
@@docholliday3666 25 miles on AT tires is about 40 miles on street wheels. I can get 40 miles a charge riding really hard on my Hadean with the 107mm street wheels. AT wheels use way more juice per mile. In the Diablo launch video the guy on street wheels got 60 MILES wtf!
@@TLPagut That's insane, but I want it. I haven't used my AT's since I got my 107's. They almost doubled the board's range and work so well on black top. There is a 20 mile run along Jones Beach & Ocean Parkway so that 50 miles of range would be perfect.
the way the trucks are mounted give me hope that the deck in that location is stronger.. i had my front break, and saw a bunch of others have theirs break too.
This is definitely the actual reason for the top mount (no longer cutting into ~3 layers to make it flush) and 2 extra layers, to address the issue of snapping at the front mount
The safety warnings are a real benefit. To me, the biggest thing of interest is the new ESC. The battery and motors, etc are kind of expected - a reasonable and good bump for a model upgrade - but the reason I hesitate on Evolve more than anything else is the countless stories of lock-ups, especially with the Hadean. So if that is fixed, Evolve is doing the right thing.
I would like to know if the remote makes you recalibrate once a week. Mine does that every week resetting my personal settings and it pisses me off. Also did they ever install a reverse option to the controller?
maybe theyll do what teamgee did and put the reverse switch on the side of the remote so your hand can slowly fidget it across without you noticing. its always fun when you go to accelerate away from a car and instead end up flat on your face in front of it. :) I love those features. 👍
@@ShadrikEaston haha well I guess you've never tried boosted boards, meepo boards, or literally any other board that has this feature, which by the way, everyone loves. 😅
@@sillyseriouspro they put the reverse switch under the palm of your hand? :o wow. I glued mine in place 🤣you seem upset or annoyed. I cant work out which or maybe Im wrong. my comment wasnt meant as a dig or anything. it was just recalling that time I was going forward..and then I wasnt. lol. remarkably unpleasant. i prefer the double tap on the speed button. less easy to accidentally trigger.
@ShadrikEaston I'm not upset. This is a conversation, which is how you create solutions. I really love Evolve but they never evolve the controller or features. It's their weakness and I want them to fix it. Evolve won't listen or respond to the customers when we give feedback. They could cleverly install the reverse on the remote or integrade the forward and reverse thumb wheel like boosted. These guys have so much potential.
I can not wait for review of renegade diablo. I'm so excited. It is hard to find a good fulfilling review of standard renegade so I have high hopes for yours. I am mostly curious about the feeling on higher speeds, ground clearance and how foot placement feels for taller riders I'm 190 cm and apparently renegade is shorter. Also are bindings a game changer ?
I wanted to drop a review on the current Renegade but it makes sense to wait for the newer one right ? I'll answer all questions excluding the taller rider ones... Im short lol
i just cant with evolve boards the price for what you get is insanely bad for good boards for 1500 and under get either something from exway you really cant go wrong with any of their boards, if you want high end specs for your best bang for buck acedeck and their nomad n1 board is it it makes the diablo look like a neutered cat compared to it
@@kendall539 acedeck is my personal favorite if you want raw torque that even pros can’t handle not to mention on the nomad n1 with 1036wh battery like that’s insanely big but if you want customizability go exway don’t get me wrong tho you can customize the acedeck
@@edward2964 their good if you want looks over performance but don’t get me wrong their a great board overall just not best bang for buck but all in all a great all rounder
@@kendall539 acedeck is my number 1 pick the nomad n1 is insane price to performance and a very close second would be exway for their refined app and integrations with their customization and tuning
I have a Tynee Mini 3 Pro and i have to say that i love it so much more then my Evolve Carbon GTR. Looking at the Diablo now compared to the Carbon GTR it's miles better BUT is it worth it in the long term to buy one if i already have a the carbon? NO... i would rather buy something with better specs for the price point of something that some people would just call an upgrade 4 years later. Im happy they made the board go at least 30mph finnnnalllllly!
As a Hadean user, the one thing that is missing from my point of view and not offered, is Gear Drive, a no brainer and a missed chance by Evolve, less to maintain and tune, this is even more of a miss when you consider the poor quality of the fasternings from Evelve that are often destroyed in adjusting. Also I have just fitted new M Board 6inch tyres, they are a game changer, real rubber and full fltat contact patch they are amazing!!
And yet here you are on my video leaving a comment to express an opinion I couldn’t care less about. Wanna know my opinion of you ? Nothing… you don’t even exist to me.
Naww, strike a nerve did I? You know it's true buddy. PS only a pleb would cry about a fast charger and beg for evolve to charge them a fortune for one.. two wires 😂
