Comparing the exway atlas pro to the evolve hadean and my diy electric skateboard. All Business enquiries R14ckx@hotmail.co.uk For all your eskate needs Eskate.shop bit.ly/3EsbyXC
18-20miles on hadean seems low, but it does differ on the person and their weight and how fast youre riding. I get consistently 25+ miles on a full charge with 7inch all terrains on mine. I also weigh 205lbs. Usually ride in sports mode
@@rickyeverett Nice video. Every time I see a 4WD board review I get more and more curious but I don't ever see myself putting an order in for one unless I was to test drive one first.
@@Pattower it all depends on what type of rider you are dude I ride boards like they are vehicles rather than skateboards so a really power 4wd boards suits me as I love that power you get as it’s a rush at least with the atlas the 4wd version is a bloody good price and you can always put it in 2wd if you wanted to or just get the 2wd version the boards so good 👌🏼
Thanks for the video :) I am riding a black carve 2 and a friend of mine a zeus. How do you think those 2 boards are vs the ones on your vidéo ? (My friend is thinking of buying a hadean bamboo). Thanks ❤
Depends on what type of rider you are I like to ride my boards like they are machines not skateboards so the atlas and diy is what I like for the power even if I got them both in 2wd I would still prefer over the hadean
Ricky great content, loving the way the channel is headed. Looking forward to maybe a series on how to upgrade my exway x1 riot as I love to be able to upgrade it with out having to buy a brand new board.
Yes I actually have one of those boards and was thinking of maybe upgrading the board for a video it’s definitely possible tho mines the hub version but was going to change the trucks ect anyway. Thanks for your comment tho much appreciated 👌🏼
Great video man! Quick question, I have a GTR and wanted to upgrade cause I commute with it but I hate the fact that it over heats and you’re not even able to stop when that happens… How’s the Atlas Pro with over heating?
Thanks dude yes the gtr was well known for that issues when it comes to the atlas good luck trying to over heat this board I think you would have trouble trying to overheat and of the current gen boards that are out atm hope this helps 👍🏼
Hey awesome video! I just received my atlas pro 2 days ago and it won’t connect to the app. Anyone else have this problem? It’s stuck in safe mode because of this and I’m still waiting on a response from exway
hey ricky, thank you for that comparison. this was very interesting to me. Currently I own a GTR Carbon and a X4S. But after you video, I really like to go the DIY way for a AT board. Your DIY board looks really stunning to me. very cool deck and battery case. Would you like to share some links how to get started and where to get the parts?
Cheers dude I just learnt from watching a load of diy video on yt @diyelectricskateboardbuilders are great at showing you how to connect everything up 👍🏼
Nice video. Happy hadean rider but I do understand it's not for everyone. I'm a 45 year old mother of three - I can't afford to come off a board at 45kmph because I need to be taking kids to school in the morning, not be in a cast. So my use case is going to differ from other people. I kind of feel like it's an "Apple" board - quality build, good support and higher price but not the best specks. Suitable for someone who just wants it to work but not to do anything amazing.
How has this comment held up? Seriously asking. I own a GTR-2 and am terrified of getting a Hadean bc I hear so many stories of ppl being thrown off by sudden disconnects. Would love to hear your use cause I’m not ripping this thing to the max either
@@aidanalvarez1722 hahah kind of badly. My battery failed last week. Cells are out of alignment and the higher ones are over charging into dangerous territory, with the lower ones getting close to cell drop territory, when the battery is down around 40%. Cell drop is what the community believes causes people to get thrown. Now FULL CREDIT to Evolve - they appear to be replacing the battery. But the issue I have is the BMS a) should have warned me of the issues (it did not, I had to manually check during charging) and b) it should not have allowed cells to charge so high (over 4.3V). The board still has never thrown me and still rides wonderfully. But the above has shaken me on Evolve, pretty badly.
Kind of weird to equate Apple with "someone who just wants it to work but not to do anything amazing" as they're both the choice for creative types and hardcore software developers.
@@BlownMacTruck I mean, I get the comment. Apple is known for reliability while windows/andriods are known for crazy performance specs, at similar Apple prices (before M chips). Just got a MBP for longevity and consistent performance, but run a cheaper, much more powerful windows desktop. It is what it is.
Hey Ricky great video thank you for sharing! I actually just received my Atlas Pro a few days ago and loved it so far. I wanted to ask you though on your DIY where did you get the Predator skin underneath the board? I'm a huge Predator fan and would like to put it on my Atlas Pro. Another question, on the app for the Atlas Pro the part for the acceleration what does P1, P2, P3, P4 mean? Is that for each motor? I currently have them all set at 70. If you recommend a different setting please let me know thank you again!
Nice dude how are you finding the board ? Same here I’m a massive predator fan myself love the films 👌🏼 it’s not a skin tho i hydro dipped my board with this wrap you could do that on the exway as well but would have to completely take all the electronics out because you need to submerge it in water 😂 and yes I believe that’s the motor amps I would dial down the two front motor to where when you fully accelerate in the highest gear you don’t get wheel spin off the line depending on your weight you will have to do abit of testing to see what works best for yourself 👍🏼 hope this helps
@@rickyeverett oh wow. Ok, maybe down the road I'll look in to that lol.. As for the motor amps, how do I know which P number are the 2 front so I can dial it down?
@@orlandocastrillo1247 I’m not 100% sure mate I haven’t messed about in the app just used the board in stock settings highest gear to see what it was like
Loving your videos. Riding a hurricane at the moment, would like to see a video on battery care. Very different views on forums saying don't do this don't do that. Tia.
A few things, first of all a great video. Second, the way you cut the three board acceleration part is superb, AE or just faded all three shots?! Third, wonder how do they fare on 97mm street wheels? For rubber wheels yea its sooooo much easier to hit 40-60kmh+ and I can see why you would want a board that can do 50-60 on those AT rubber wheels, but if you just ride on streets.. 40-50 is fucking scary shit even on some good roads that you know 100% :D so a board that can get you to 40 and be stable at 40 is where the fun is imo.. that added with an insanely well made remote for Evolve boards wins it for me every time, plus theres a ton of fun at slow speeds thanks to the double kingpins. Dont know how the service is in EU for Exway but Evolve has a couple of big warehouses in EU and UK so parts are most of the time available. Only thing I hate about Evolve boards is the compound of the Bamboo, its super nice and flexy but if you are 90-100KG, 200lbs, you will brake 1 deck a year just about, depending on how often you ride.
Hi thanks yes just faded each shot I was going to do like a clone shot but exposer keep on changing as the suns was going in and out 😭 yeah definitely dude riding those speeds on street is crazy I definitely would ride street wheels on a 4wd boards it’s pretty pointless as it has to much power for them and really street wheels are for slower carving sliding ect not for raw speed and power. That’s fair the new remote is very well built but I for me as long as the remote is accurate when accelerating and braking I really wouldn’t purchase one board over another on the remote and all the boards here have double kingpins so you can carve all of them really well. Yes Ino that evolve have various service centres but not 100% sure about exway would be nice if that have some around the world for Easier service and repairs. And yes if you are a heavier guy you will definitely need a carbon deck the bamboo decks just can’t take the weight and all that stress 😭. Cheers for your comment dude much appreciated 👍🏼
I have a hadean but I looked at atlas pro today and I got all excited and then I picked it up or should I say I tried to pick it up . After I adjust my stance for power lifting i then tried again . Holy moly that is a big awesome heavy board . Not sure if I could handle much more than the hadean . Getting a light board Its a difficult thing to achieve if you want the goodies of a atlas pro !
@@TheAegisClaw this is not true. Hadean Carbon is 13.5kg (29.7lb) while Atlas Pro 2WD is 14.9kg/32lbs, so Atlas is actually 2 lbs heavier even in the 2WD version and at the same time it is less powerful than Hadean based on motor power (almost 2 times less - 3528 W vs 6000 W) and with a smaller range (38 km on 160 cm tyres for Atlas vs 40 km on 170 cm tyres for Hadean). Atlas Pro 4WD is 17.7kg/39lbs which makes it 9 lbs (and not just 3 lbs) heavier than Hadean. 9 lbs is a deal breaker if you are looking for a portable board.
@@truedmikThe hadean doesn't even get close to 6000w, that's what the motors are rated to handle. Motor watts are measured by voltage x amps, Evolve won't say what amps their esc is set for but I'd assume it's something like 50a with a heavily tuned acceleration curve judging by how it performs vs the 70a Meepo Hurricane. So if that's the case it'd be around like max 2500w on a full charge and only get lower from there. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, the "3000w" GTR was only capable of like 1200-1300w max.
I lovethe carving feeling on 4wd Atlas, it's quite different than boards with 2wd, but the range for me is way too short. Hadean is so much better than GTR IMHO, but the price is still, way above it should be. Excellent review Rick, I wasn't looking at the community for a while, and I see you have grown and made your own channel. Congrats mate! Keep shredding :)
Do you have the original atlas ? As Ino the range was a killer on that board such a shame I think exway just missed out on the change over period when everyone was swapping from the 18650 cells to the 21700’s thanks mate much appreciated tho 👍🏼 good to see you back in the community and make sure you keep shedding yourself 🤙🏼
@@rickyeverett i have the original atlas 4wd (converted to 2wd) and on speed mode 3 and agressive riding i can get 20 miles of range (165lbs rider). Not gret but not terrible
Yes hummies deck I believe those are the same deck I will be doing a full video on this board and going though how I wired it all up so when that drops you will be able to see 👍🏼
Pure. Hard. Facts. Amazing video mate killed it and totally agree with all your analysis! Crazy that the Atlas Pro can even be talked about in the same sentence as your monster DIY. Keep them coming excited for more videos!
@Emma Johansson It can be charged in one hour with a 20A fast charger. It is worth choosing Atlas Pro for this reason alone. You sit down for a coffee somewhere and the battery is already half charged.
@@gajdacsgergo8187 20a charger on a 16a battery sounds like a new battery more often than you’d want to fork out for one. Surely they’re using a 16a charger since the cells are rated at 1c?
The 21700 batteries used by the Atlas Pro support a maximum charging rate of 1.5C. The 1000W charging power is used to charge the battery pack in the skateboard alone, using a charging rate of 1.25C. Calculated as follows The charging rate used by 1000W is: 4Ah×1.25C×4P=20A The maximum charging rate supported by the battery pack in the skateboard is: 4Ah×1.5C×4P=24A Battery pack inside the skateboard + AUX Pack: 4Ah×1C×10P=40A Battery pack inside the skateboard + AUX Pack maximum support: 4Ah×1.5C×10P=60A
great video. I am a Haydean Bamboo owner and see 25+ mile range consistently. My last ride was 27.8 miles with 18% battery remaining, I think you under sold the battery performance :)
With at wheels on the board ? It’s a 12s 4p battery unless you ride in slow mode and don’t go about 15mph then maybe you could get that range but there is no chance of getting 25mph range on a 12s 4p pack on at wheels it’s just not happening the way I ride 😂
The Evolve comes with real support nearby and price vs performance is not everything. I have had two Exway boards with problems, got slow and insufficient support.
I totally get that I’m not here to make anyone buy either board that’s for them to make up there minds it’s just my personal opinion I like the exway better and I think the evolve is ridiculously overpriced for the performance you are getting I like a high performing board that feels good to ride that might not matter to some people that my and customer service does. I appreciate your comment tho thanks 🙏🏼
Let me guess, before the video even starts just for fun. #1 is probably the DIY. #2 the Atlas Pro 4wd, because Exway makes amazing boards. And #3 because Evolve... is well... Evolve... enough said there. Lemme see if I'm right 🤘
To say there is “nothing there” in the hadeans power after off the line is nonsense in all honesty. The thing is ballistic up to 25mph and keeps up with my hurricane the whole way. So yes it may not feel like much compared to a 4WD atlas pro and a 4WD DIY board, but for general users it is very fast.
I disagree 100%. With One thing with U that board of your is absolutely beautiful mate . Nice vid. It would be nice if you could teach us how to copy your board 😂. I think I'll go for 2wd I prefer the feeling of carving like a kraken 😂😂 all the best
Haha😂 cheers dude much appreciated 👍🏼 yeah I will be making a full video regarding my board. Totally respect that I’m not a fan of carving I get board doing that really quickly I just like pure power 🤣 but if I like carving then a 2wd board would be plenty enough 👍🏼
So both Ricky and Chris are now on Exways pay roll. The previously according to Ricky high performing Evolve trucks are now just ok whilst the new Exway trucks are just so amazing and super quality. Comparing a bamboo 2WD to 4WD is valid since the price of it is higher? Does not make any sense whatsoever and 4WD has so many drawbacks that the are just unusable for me.
No dude definitely not on any payroll and never have been I liked and praised evolve when I was riding the gtr that was like 3 years ago now and at that time the gtr was definitely the best board that was available to buy and I really liked it but I have grown as a rider and the competition have upped there game and are now producing board that are equal or in some cases like the atlas are better for my Style of riding the evolve trucks where when I was on the gtr the best trucks but they haven’t changed since and now other companies are making trucks that not only look nicer but are stronger and better built that’s a fact also why should I penalise another company that’s making a better board for less money by putting it 2wd I will do a video of it in 2wd vs the hadean and the hadean will look like even more of a joke as the atlas will then basically be half the price of a hadean 😂 and the bamboo version is only in the video as I don’t have a carbon and had to borrow the bamboo hadean either way both the carbon and bamboo have the same specs in terms of performance and when it comes to 4wd drive for me there is more positives than negatives but it’s not for everyone. Why are you so angry?
@@rickyeverett I apologize. I would love to see Atlas pro 2WD since 4WD in so many ways is out of the question. Chris did touch on the differences in real near support of Evolve vs other brands. This means people employed outside of China which cost money. I have had 13 electric boards and experiences of support both of Evolve and others. I actually have an Atlas 2WD of the original version, not super powerful but for now enough. I am though not as in awe over their trucks. DK talks about them like they are Star Trek stuff compered to others. We are all different but I love the Evolve trucks still. Sorry
Too bad we can't see clearly in your vs acceleration test where is each board, we have to guess. The view is too far, you should have placed the camera closer and the angle is bad. At least, you should have named each board on this sequence. Really hard to see, not funny.
Yo hate on evolve, they're as ass company! Overpriced product with spotty consistency and a bad company ethos of attack other for there opinions vs just making s better product.
I think they look awesome I don’t ride boards like skateboards I ride them like electric vehicles so I want them to be as powerful as possible but as nimble as well for riding around a city in traffic I don’t like carving I get board of going left to right in about 30 seconds but that rush of power you get from a 4wd board never gets boring 👌🏼 and when it does I just make my board more powerful 😂
Evolve is Apple of e-skating. Behind the competition in many aspects, but looks nice, has a great marketing department, and a bunch of dumb followers defending their favourite money-grabbing company like their lives depend on it.
