I just got the Evolve GTR Bamboo (AT) and no regrets! If the carbon could have the same flex then would go for that no doubt, the battery inside is so streamline, it is one of the most beautiful out there. Might save up for the Onsra for purely speed haha will see.
What a great job you did , very good unboxing video , great footage when you ride and perfect English I’m impressed 👍👍👍👍i saw your friend at San Diego didn’t knew he is German !!!!
200mm wheels on 47T? Evolve doesn't even recommend 47T on 175mm. Only for 150mm. How'd ya go on that gearing? Do yo actually have that exact gearing on the actual board? Motors get hot at all?
Thanks for giving us all this information. I’ve been a skateboarder for most of my life but never written an electric skateboard and I just want to ride off-road. Not interested in carving, just interested in all-terrain. Is the carbon the better option. Keep in mind I’m not a speed freak because I wanna stay upright but I want to take it on rough surfaces. Which is best carbon or bamboo? Thanks
i'm considering all terrain, roads here (pittsburgh, pa) are so craggy and busted up, I've been longboarding, the 90mm wheels I ordered online are just barely big enough to get me from a-z with pretty regular hopping off and walking, unless somehow the board being powered increases stability dramatically, i really might have to go with an all terrain board. Does it feel/handle very different riding on wheels that big?
Just saw your video, yep a little late! Great info. I have the old GT version and I am thinking about upgrading to the GTR. My GT will go to our son. We are also in Germany, small town next to Leipzig. I wish my German was as good as your English. I'll keep learning... Thanks agin for a great video.
Just one question. Did you try an uphill test when the battery is half full? There's alot of questions about battery sag because of the Samsung 35e cells.
Hi Kenneth, I did 28:15. The difference is significant compared to the previous version. This is especially true when going uphill and even more so going uphill off-road. I was impressed with how much power/torque the board maintains at 50% now. Definitely test it out yourself!
Grüß dich! Sehr sehr geiles Video und gute Gegenüberstellung. Ich freu mich schon wie verrückt auf mein GTR! Da ich dir leider nirgendwo eine private Nachricht schreiben kann, versuche ich es über diesen Weg: Ich fahre seit etlichen Jahren das Bamboo Gen2 ausschließlich auf AT. Habe die Trucks sehr weich gestellt, um eng carven zu können und einen kleinen Wendekreis zu haben. Leider hab ich damit schon bei 20 km/h Geradeausfahrt ein leichtes Wackeln drinne und darüber hinaus ist es nicht wirklich möglich nur geradeaus zu fahren, für Stabilität bei höherem Speed muss ich carven. Für Wheelbite sind sie aber zum Glück noch nicht weich genug eingstellt. Du sagtest, dass du von Anfang gleich die Bushings getauscht hast, weil sei dir zu weich waren. Was empfielst du? Als professioneller Fahrer brauchst du ja beides, Wendigkeit und Stabilität. Die Bushings von orangen von Evolve sind 95a. Welche nutzt du? Danke dir und viele Grüße :)
sorry für die süpäte Antwort. Ich benutze Venom bushings. Die Farbe ist indikativ für die stärke. Ich benutze rot und grün. Sehr wendig und stabil bei high speed. ggf. eliminator hinten benutzen wenn du immer noch speed wobbles bekommst. Kontakt via Instagram ist am besten.
Don't but from Evolve!!! 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!
@@voltagefrogmatthias2375 Thanks, did you replace both bushings on each Kingpin Truck or just the lower one? And what does "one hard barrel" mean. (I'm new to skateboarding).
I’ve just ordered a Carbon GTR, for some reason it’s charged me for postage, website says it’s free shipping to uk mainland, can’t wait till it arrives
I just wish that the Carbone is rather polished finish , I am wondering if they can do polished finish for me when I order mine , and also the logo on the top of the trucks should be more visible like GTX I would say identical. I’m designer and I think that would look better at least to me. that would be for me buying point and for many particular buyers like myself to
thanks for the comment. yeah it's just a mini x. Would like to compare it against a stealth :) The "comparison" was meant for people knowing one of the boards to judge the difference ;)
I had Carbon GT, GTX, and NOW GTR. GTR is slow to accelerate. it does not have a feel of that instant power that takes you up to speed in a second like GTX had. GTR also has a softer brake than GTX. GTR does not have a SAG BUT I get max speed 21mph the first 10 minutes of the ride until the battery reaches 75%. At 75% the max speed drops to 19mph max. At about 65% of battery the max speed drops to 18mph. In order to turn on Custom mode in GTR you need your smartphone with GPS (i dont know why it requires GPS but without gps you cant turn the custom mode) It seems you need to use the app every time you power the board ON and want to use CUSTOM mode so it SUCKS! I dont think GTR is an upgrade. Evolve had problems which they substitute for another problems. I think Carbon GT or GTX with upgraded 18650 battery is much better buy .

Evolve are an ok "mid tier" board. This GTR is simply what the GT range should have been. No extra torque or power on the new models, just extra weight. The LaCroix Nazaré being released next month will eat this GTR range of boards for breakfast.
For twice the price and the evolve is already a pricey board for most people. You're right though evolve is now a mid-tier board with all these ultra-performance high-end boards being developed.
I don't get how evolve has all these brand embassadors with no social media presence, I'm clearly salty and a bit confused. Second video with hardly any subscribers yet here it is then unreleased GTR. I'm about to buy one and while I have no intent on starting a channel if less than 50 subscribers is the bar I'll be there by the next release if it means a free board. Shit I'll pay for it if you don't make me wait as long.
I was the first evolve ambassador. They are all about the passion and community. It’s not just about number of subscribers etc. It’s about going to events organising events and growing the rad community we have globally! 🤙🏻
Dear Hend, thanks for your comment. I understand that you want your board as quickly as possible and you are frustrated that you have to wait. This is understandable yet, it is the same for all other customers. Concerning social media presence, please have a look at my Instagram: voltagefrog :) and if you are an evolve owner already also have a look at the respective facebook groups. I help current and prospective members of our community on a daily basis ;) Regarding your second point, Evolve prioritizes authenticity and a strong community over impersonal social media exposure by giants. Not everything is about numbers :) (and that comes from an economist xD) If you like my content want to help me grow my recently created RU-vid channel: subscribe :) Cheers, Matt
