Overall, I loved my GTR S1 and sold it. What a great board after my boosted v2. Had the stock too before I got the Headen but ended up selling it, too. I'm interested in the flex, something I believe was missing for the stock now. I would love to see an evolved/ loaded board that hasn't a long deck street wheels travel friendly battery.
The skate wheels on my carbon gt 2in1 lost chunks of wheel the more I used it. I wasn't a big fan of that and went back to the off-road wheels. I never put the board in "street mode" again.
Great vid, I've got the stoke and absolutely love that, I love the kicktail but not so much the range, although I have managed to get 15km out of it in eco mode, this seems even better, I'd be interested to see how easy it is to use the kicktail and weather or not it is able to manual well, I found the stoke didn't quite lean back enough at times,
I own 3 evolve boards. Surprised to see no wheel cutouts on the deck ( like the stoke has ) but they use riser pads. If they are using riser pads then i asume that is to mitigate wheel bite. If they had cut outs / partial cut outs for the wheels, would no riser pad have been necessary ? Speaking of deck stuff : looked like no foam grip tape for vibration reduction. Very dissapointed to see they're still using those cagugama(sp) 85mm wheels. They are too small for city riding and the blue's chunk out on the inside edge and last less then a hand full of years. A watt hour upgrade was absurdly brutally needed from the stoke gen 1 / gen 2 at 144wh ... to hear that the upgrade is only 216wh is incredibly disappointing. O_O !!!! Sad to see no fenders or spray mitigation on modern boards. Looked like no brake light or front facing white light either. Hadean series also failed at lights; they dont have seperate front facing white light. The carbon only has perimeter lights that do not aim backwards / forwards. The bamboo's lights do aim backward and forward but are positioned poorly so people behind you struggle to see them. They are too dim for day time use, and there is no quick on / off for board lights for entering parks or sketchy areas where you dont want to draw attention. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck -_- Too long of a post ? Sorry
It might be worth noting that arguably the most important eskate of all time was a similar partnership. The OG Kickstarter Boosted (RIP) was a Loaded vanguard with orange orangutan wheels. That board design was a game-changer in the sport and stood the test of time. It’s biggest fault was lack of a tail. Carbon-copy clones are popular to this day from some of the top brands.
I got a GTR2 Bamboo because the stoke didn't have the range I needed. Now I'm so spoiled on pneumatics, I never want to install the street wheels. This would be so perfect as side board if it could fit the 6" pneumatics or something, stock street wheels feel to low for me to go up/down paths.
Now for me this is the only beautiful esk8 made by evolve. I don't usually like their products but this one is look very different, awesome evolve. And i believe this board will give lot of fun to the esk8ers
nice review! =) Have 2 question: 1. i am tall as you 6.5 feet and have US 14 in shoe size, do you think i will have problem with wheel bites when i carve? if my foot is placed like yours in the video all the way back ? 2. Do you think it will be possible to put "CLOUDWHEEL Hydro 100mm Urban All Terrain Off Road Electric Skateboard Wheels" ? Thanks ahead =)
Thank you Chris. Got an email back saying they had changed your code to this, “AVESK8_50OFF” They said you needed to update it your end. Hope this helps👍
Just ordered mine. Had 3 of the stokes best board out there for street riding and tricks. Im a little bit worried about lack of kicktail as that was something i think the stoke could have added more. Also hoping the longer wheel base doesnt change the feel or dynamic to much from the stoke as i was comfortable foing manuals etc. Pitty i watched this after pirchasing mine. Could have used the code😂
@robras2850 I don't like the roller remote. This would be heavy and wheel base to long. Wheels too big etc. I moved the front truck back on my onirique and it changes it completely. I get why there putting the wheelbases longer because it's safer but it takes it away from being a skateboard and turns it into a longboard
@@conda555 fair enough as long as your happy it’s your journey after all. For a first skateboard I would recommend the meepo mini 3s or the exway wave or the tynee mini 3 best value AT longboard has to be the meepo ninja hurricane. Yes there are better boards but not at that price and quality.
Hello Chris, I think you forgot to address that this board has the old, small and sometimes overheating motors? Also, it is very expensive I think. Thanks
Hi Guys ordered mine end of November arrived end of Feb they updated me when I contacted them regarding delivery. I am a little disappointed that they have not supplied the remote case or accessories case, just cardboard boxes. A bit of a shame I think for a premium brand.
I feel like loaded’s wheels are good but all of their 77a wheels sketch me out because I’ve seen so many of those wheels with chips, cracks and just an overall crumbly look which doesn’t exactly promote confidence in the durability and safety of those wheels.
evolve + loaded team: they're like "ok guys combined our minds together. new board ideas. let's brainstorm!!" one guy: "okay...hear me out....we take the stoke but make it French" everyone else 😮 "I love it!!' in reality we already have a stoke that does basically the same thing....we want an all terrain, small, portable board, that we can ride through any and all of the cities horrible rough roads and roughly patched pavements
Screw Evolve...I hate this company (US location) and the attitude they have since they have become even bigger in the market of eskates since Boosted Boards went out of business. You've been their ambassador for years and having them treat you like shit along with their customer service going down the drain and their long delayed shipping is just horrible. It's a shit company to be honest but with good marketing and decent quality boards...only when they work.
Great video & thanks for the discount code dude, just ordered myself one using your code!
Total legend. Thank you !
It doesn’t ship until October, I will be counting down the days 😂
Thanks again for the £50.00 discount 😃
Hi I was wondering when the review will get posted .... looking forward to it , I have it pre-ordered 👌
Overall, I loved my GTR S1 and sold it. What a great board after my boosted v2.

Hey mate have you done a full review of this deck ? I ordered a diablo renergade, but wanna get this as a short board

When review?
I own 3 evolve boards.

Hey at least with 216wh it’ll actually hit the 15km original range claim in gtr mode now 😂

we want a small, all terrain board that's portable, that could be used to commute with over any/all terrain, these wheels have limits
Basically a lighter Propel board.
They have, but you gotta have shitty roads (they’re 85mm) I mean it’s not all terrain but it’s still a very good option, worth considering
Tynee board brand can put AT wheels on a short board
Get a Tynee stinger that’s a real E skateboard
Thanks for the review! I after an electric vehicle skateboard!
better than boosted boards were?
100000%
nice review! =)
Have 2 question:
1. i am tall as you 6.5 feet and have US 14 in shoe size, do you think i will have problem with wheel bites when i carve? if my foot is placed like yours in the video all the way back ?
2. Do you think it will be possible to put "CLOUDWHEEL Hydro 100mm Urban All Terrain Off Road Electric Skateboard Wheels" ?
Thanks ahead =)
same height, size 12.5, i used stoke1 and it was fine, slight pinch when full strong turning
What brand cells is the battery cells?
its 9.2kg for a board with 216wh how ? the exway flex er has 345wh and is only 8.3kg
It's got DKPs
Great video, will be ordering mine to complement my bamboo hadean at. Is the code still working? Using uk one doesn’t apply the discount for me.
Thank you! Try the link and let me know. The code might need updating
Thank you Chris. Got an email back saying they had changed your code to this, “AVESK8_50OFF”
They said you needed to update it your end.
Hope this helps👍
another sick video review, but definitely missing Ricky, hope you’re both well… Ricky needs to get back on. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hi have you still got a discount code for Onirique board please Stay Safe Thanks
Yes the link should be in bio ! Let me know if it works ok

I think you’ll love it if a big fan of the Stoke. I love both boards. PS: refund the order and re order lol!! Get that code in 🫣🤣
Just get the meepo flow 🔥 will definitely be familiar

Full grip tape means less chance of snapped hamstring again
plain black top please- all amazon boards have grip graphics
Is it just a stoke with 10 more cells? 💤
Evolve still cant push their boards past 22mph why? This should be able to go at least 26. What evs
No videos forever then 2 in a day!
I feel like loaded’s wheels are good but all of their 77a wheels sketch me out because I’ve seen so many of those wheels with chips, cracks and just an overall crumbly look which doesn’t exactly promote confidence in the durability and safety of those wheels.
On-Eee-reek?
On-ee-reek-aye?
Onirique
The hardest e skate wheels you could possibly out on it 😢
Man. Love ya but it’s Til Taking. No toeing. Drop it please, top board. But I ate got time for dat. I can’t afford it and a Hadean.
You do not seem like you mean this since you like to ride skateboards with bicycle wheels.
evolve + loaded team: they're like "ok guys combined our minds together. new board ideas. let's brainstorm!!" one guy: "okay...hear me out....we take the stoke but make it French" everyone else 😮 "I love it!!'
in reality we already have a stoke that does basically the same thing....we want an all terrain, small, portable board, that we can ride through any and all of the cities horrible rough roads and roughly patched pavements
I thought evolve still hated you😂
We made up 😂
Meepo mini 3s better and cheaper buy a mile
Tynee stinger is better everywhere 🤣 evolve is the laughing stock of e boards
Screw Evolve...I hate this company (US location) and the attitude they have since they have become even bigger in the market of eskates since Boosted Boards went out of business.

Overpriced and super average 🥱
What product would you put your money in?
Overpriced a little bit, but for sure not your average board.
What ass smoke this comment was
I was asking if not this what other product useless wank of a comment. @@MichaelWagner-z4k
