Good reviews as always BUT I personally absolutely do not want fast charge only because the damage it does to your battery overtime is VERY significant especially if it’s your daily. I’ve had a bamboo GTR for years and the battery is still kickin. I’ve had to replace the battery on another board with quick charging TWICE and it was about 1.5 times the price of evolve at the time
Really appreciate your passion and insights, and brilliant professionalism. I value your time. Thank you!
Great video. I tried both bamboo boards today and noticed the Hadean deck has more flex, which I like.
Charging any battery in an hours will wreck it over time, so I‘m glad they stick to regular chargers. Also there is no scenario I can think of where NEED a charge.
3.5 - 4 hours is a slow charger. No noticable heat is generated within the cells. Ive read that a charge time of over 1 hour is seen as safe from damage. This was an old article addressing 18650's though. So, If a 5amp charger gives us 3.5 - 4 H full charge time with no noticeable heat generated within the cells, then i belive we could safely use atleast a 6 - 8 amp charger, or maybe even a 10amp.
Maybe i dont understand or am unaware of specifics of the 21700 cells evolve uses.
Anyways; i belive we could easily / safely be given some kind of upgraded charger. The top of the line brand could offer a top of the line charger. Something adjustable with info given ( Charge % selection, amp selection, voltage or charge level readout )... they exist.
Please evolve :o
awesome review mate, very real! I've had my GTR for about 3 years and probably sticking with it for a while longer. Will probably get myself some light strips though...
thank you exactly the review I was looking for
Awesome video! I bought a series 2 and now after a thousand miles now I am wishing I would have gotten the Hadean. Mostly for longer rides and power on hills. Guess ill have to get one at some point, can never have to many boards right. Keep the good work glad your back at it.
Looking to mostly ride in town (4-6 mile commute). AT tires or 105 mm Evolve Street Wheels. Most of the commute is a bike path with cracks and semi rough.
Hey there!
Pretty neat video. I'm riding a Carbon GTR 1 and I'm SO DUCKING DESPERATE for a fastcharger. On the other hand, the longivity is more extended with so, let us call it, slowcharger. But I feel you so so so much!
I just got into longboarding. Analog only so far. I’ve been looking at both of these boards in the carbon version (6’ 2.5” and 250lb). I live in a very hilly city. This was the review I wanted to see and now I know if I go there it’s the Hadean for me
Hi Chris and Ricky!
Are you going to test Onsra BC3 in the near future? I am so curious about your opinion (especially about trucks!!)
I bought an Evolve GTR Series 2 Bamboo (offroad) 2 weeks ago. I love everything about it except the battery life is less than I anticipated. Wind and mild offroad eat that battery surprisingly fast.
Is your GTR gen 2 still going without issue ? Did you upgrade to something different ?
@@LORFCASTER hahah funny story - just after this comment, I got hit by a car and the board got wrecked. So I upgraded to the Hadean and it's 1000x better. I know the electronics are almost the same, bar firmware and the battery isn't that different but the range is honestly about 2x better on the Hadean. Top speed doesn't matter that much to me - I'm over 40 and a woman, falling off hurts bad, every time, so I stick to sub 30kmph most of the time but the Hadean is absolutely worth the extra cash, if you're sticking to Evolve.
Scuffed mic but great video as always!
I finally ordered my Carbon Hadean!! Suuuper excited. I test drove the Carbon Hadean in the summer on street setup and it was FUCKING MENTAL.. that acceleration is like twice as fast as the old GTR.. atleast.. and the GTR already had pretty nice acceleration.. I get why people hate it.. too expensive!! 2500EUR jesus christ.. vs Hurricane what.. 1000EUR? And yes Hurricane is "faster" but who the hell rides a skateboard 24\7 at 60-80kmh.. almost nobody, specially not on street wheels. On the AT wheels yes you aint pushing a lot more then 50kmh but my god that is fast enough for 99% out there.
But then there is the new Phaze remote, bigger motors that dont overheat, bigger battery etc.. list goes on.
My main reason for the upgrade though was because I went through atleast 6 motor failures for the GTR. I hated the downtime.. 2-4weeks each time, ridiculous.
Then each start of the season, the Bamboo deck broke in half. Maybe some storage issue? Stored it in my flat but it was wierd cause Ive had a Meepo board since 2015-16 and it never had deck issues. 250EUR each time to replace a deck with the second time no deck in stock for 6 months so had to modify a used GT deck for time being. The bamboo felt great though.. but yeah this is the reason for my upgrade and also the Bamboo Hadean looks god awful and it seems it flexes even more then the old GTR.. and im 220lbs 95KG rider, street setup all day long, ride almost every day.
Any issues with your hadean carbon now that you've had it for afew months ? Literally anything, even a weird noise.
Do you know if the hadean bamboo series has similar issues with the deck breaking ?
@@LORFCASTER Oh boy, its a long story, im gonna make a quick review style video. But I ordered in January, got it in April, Hadean exploded in 3 days (3hours), sent back to Evolve, waited 2 months for repair, ECU exploded not motors. They sent it back with broken drivegears, changed them myself and all good now, just got to 250KM on it, zero issues, its an absolute blast. Also because its Carbon I can easily hit 45-50km\h, with GTR Bamboo it was a bit too scary going over 35km\h. Also range is almost doubled.. did a 30KM run.. had 30% battery left.. 97KG rider. Other things.. love the wider deck, love the whistling sound it makes when riding and its actually super comfortable to ride vs my old GTR Bamboo, really happy about the Carbon Hadean overall.
Are you going to do the carbon version of this video?
I want the Hadean so bad, but I've been holding out because of my luck, as soon as I get it, a revised version will come out right after my purchase.
Yea, the GTR series 2 came out 2 months after I got mine
I nearly bought one today from FB checked the website and it's 500 quid off..nodes that mean there's something in the pipeline?
@@munamunamikeprobably, but for me it means time to take the plunge and I did with the Carbon GTR-2. Love it. Looking at a Lacroix next (prob in 5yrs). Never been on any kind of board before, never going back!
Would u say there is a better board then the Evolve
I was the guy who rode a bamboo GTR with a spare standard battery in my backpack but I got tired of the extra weight and swapping batteries, so the Hadean was an easy choice. Got nearly double the range of the GTR.
Any issues with your hadean ? Even minor issues
Just pulled the trigger and got one Excited
Im kind of in between, if i wanted to go to the traine statoin evry weekday (10min walk) and get to the mall on a week end, and use it evry day of the holidays, what one should i get.
I agree 1.75inches is a lot to play with
Exactly ! So many possibilities
What about living in the mountains ? Hadean ?
Of course Hadean for the mountains, because you need more power !
To someone who has been riding the original gtr do you think the gtr series 2 is worth the upgrade
100% no. It’s better, smoother! More responsive and consistent. But defo not worth the upgrade.
Do you think the original GTR is more water resistant??
Just got my hadean bamboo a month ago & the front light got damaged & had breaking issues.
After riding my GTR for years I find it odd & worrying that the new one had & issues in so little time
I feel like it’s the other way around. My Hadean is way more reliable vs my GTR. But saying that it’s really random. I know people that had zero issues with their GTR’s, yet I find a way to break all of them lol
@@averageeskatereviews I get it luck of the draw. Maybe I just had bad luck.
But for the little I had it did 60 miles & I love the upgrades it had. It's not every day I ride over 20 miles but I do at least once or twice a month.
Your dead on the deck feels a lot better then the GTR S2 & love the remote & breaking lights because I ride with a group of bikes at night
Any issues with your hadean bamboo now that you've had it for some months ? Truely anything.
@LORFCASTER honestly, no, that was the only problem I had. Sold my GTR, and the new board is still going. And it was water damage, so after I got a new battery/ ESC, everything was good
For sure we need fast charger Evolve you are right lets getting going already unless chi battery steps up lol 😆
Still have my gtx...which is fine for me as im way more into the stoke...not a commuter but if i was i would go for the Hadean as the overall build quality and standard lights makes sense if an everyday rider...very good no nonsense vid as always.
Gutted!! The gtr series 2 ticks every box for me, except......
Im a 6.4ft man with size 10.5 feet. Ive never enjoyed riding anything less than a 10" deck!
So I'm gonna have to pay £500 for a deck 1" wider. waaaaah 😢
Why didnt evolve use the same deck across all plantforms and then you pay the premium for speed and range, not comfort. Boooooooo 😔
Wait a second your shoes have black marks on them but look at the black marks on the HADEAN DECK ALSO!!!
Hadean deck is so much better.
Nice vid. I'm on a Hadean and love it.
Question: ABEC 11 - F1 107s or Orangutang 105 Dad Bods?
@@benwestwalker i would'nt know. Started with a GTR with Abec11- 107 mm back in the day, but after a crash (bad tharmac), i switched to 7 inch AT. Bit less speed but more comfort, more traction, more possibilities, more fun. Check with Fred from Esk8 Unity, he's an expert on streetwheels....
@@benwestwalker Do you have any issues with the board so far ? Even a weird noise or notice somethings out of balance / wobbles ?
Don’t waste your money with either, get an EUC as they’re faster & your hands are free plus way more practical in gym lockers & shopping.
🤢 rather walk
@@averageeskatereviews if you dont know how to ride them just say it. i prefer 80 miles of range at 40mph with suspension any day.
@@teaguemendola789 Seems like a brutally unsafe vehicle to have both directional physics AND acceleration / braking both controlled by body positioning / center of balance. As an electric board rider, you can have your body weight / position abruptly changed by terrain or objects and still maintain constant control of acceleration / brakes. CANT do that on vehicles relying on center of balance sensors for all controls. Also, If your vehicle has an electronics failure then thats a brutal crash no matter what. If our vehicle has an electronic failure then it will probably just turn into a normal skateboard with a bit of extra drag. Your vehicle is inferior :p
@@LORFCASTER uh ok i mean i cant convince you, I have just about all forms of pevs and I prefer the euc because its the most stable and safe
also don't judge it till you've tried it, I only judge boards because I have one and prefer the unicycle any day but you haven't ever tried it
