- Stuck at home? There’s never been a better time to give your board a full service. From time to time it pays to strip down the hardware on your Evolve and give it a little love to get it feeling like new. In this video, we show you a detailed guide of just how to do that so you can make sure you are doing everything you can and put it back together the right way! Fresh bushings, belts, bearings and anything else you need is online now!
When you disassemble your skateboard for maintenance it is your responsibility to ensure you reassemble it to its original state as an incorrectly constructed board may not perform safely. If you are unable to do this please see our ‘How To’ playlist for further video instructions, or contact your local Evolve service team and they will be happy to help!
What You Need:
- Multi Purpose Grease (we recommend lithium)
- Evolve Skate Tool with Allen key
- Small Pick/Screwdriver
- Bearing Lubricant (Evolve online or any skate store)
- Grip Tape Cleaner (we like Grip Gum)
- A Rag
- An empty tin/bowl
- Isopropyl Alcohol

Good vid - thanks. To adjust drive tension equally, while upside down, place chalk on wheels/belts, line up equally, creep slowly on safe mode, then adjust tension so chalk marks line up at each revolution. Found Isopropyl at Bunnings today. Keep up the vids.
Gotta save this video. Thx for the info
Just to add! I would of wiped the motor mounts down too and touch up with a black sharpie! 😃
I watched the whole vid and I don’t even own an evolve lol
I'm waiting on a video on how to replace the motors cause I don't trust myself doing it by myself
Well get one
I didn't touch my original bearings in 5 years and they're still fine 🙂👍
You should probably replace them proactively instead of waiting for something to fail, potentially catastrophically. A new set of bearings is inexpensive compared to your wellbeing.
Loved the detail how to remove individual bearing dust cover. Never knew that. Ty
Thank yoooouuuuuu finally a service vid!!🤟
Get the riptide pivot cups when doing this best upgrade I’ve done so far. Stealth mode engaged🤙🏼
Doing this on regular bases, my 3yr old board still rolls smoothly... awesome video #evolve_Belgium
How regularly you do it?
Good clip Nick. Pulling it all apart to clean is also a good opportunity for new board owners with the 2 in 1 setup to switch from AT to street wheels or vice versa to try something different...
Thanks guys you're the best! I was just wondering how to do it this lasts weeks. Done!
Mirek Cymek. Super evolve 👍🥰
Awesome video!
Ty taught me so much
Awesome video!!!
My brand new GTR Carbon AT has been dispatched from your warehouse today. Can't wait to have it delivered and start riding!
Welcome to the family, happy riding!
Hey evolve here is a good business idea. Because you are all about customization and making the ride your own it would be cool if you could offer different types of controllers (maybe one that can go backwards). This would be great because a lot of people are unhappy with the remote. Maybe you could make a remote with a scroll wheel or something...
Hey Luca, cheers for the advice!
I would agree, scroll wheel is the way to go. And reverse allows a full stop.
I like the Evolve remote it's unique. It makes evolve evolve.
@@jasonhushmonkey I like it too but I have never tried a different one. It would be a good option for people that aren't happy with the classic remote.
@@brianwestgate7055 exactly\
Oh heck yeah!! The need to knows
simple but valuable information.
I did what u did it feels much better
Deff. Need to maintain my oossway board ahahah
I just cleaned my board haha!!! It looks so niceeeee
One small detail I was wanting to see but no luck. How to get the correct tension on the belt.
Chuck Maddison As he is talking about it there is a little link that pops up in the video. Click that!
Awesome Thankyou
Awesome video thank you very much I can waite for my bored to rock up :)
For that SERVICE ..whats the name and cost?!?! And how to email request for it?!?!
Thank you for video and for a great product. My 2 year old gtx is still amazing. However when I recently changed setup to at wheels I noticied a problem with one of the motors. When I spin the motors with my hand I can feel there is a lot more resistance in one of them. I can feel a quite distinct resistance every 5 mm of spinning, almost like clock ticking. The same motor also appears to be causing vibrations. It is not an issue of belt tension as this also happens with no wheels or belt on. Ultimately this added resistance in the motor causes that wheel to stop alot faster. Is this anything I could be able to fix or do I need to replace the motor?
preparing myself once i get the gtr bamboo :D
crap I’ll definitely Fu@$& it up 😂 I’ll definitely go to a shop have maintenance done I’m I was lost at da wheel taking apart 🤦♂️
How often do you need to service your board?
As a new owner (haven't received yet) how often do we do this full service? Assuming average use, nothing extreme.
Depends I do stuff like this like every 4-5 months
Thank you for the tutorial. Isopropyl is unavailable due to the pandemic. Is there an alternative bearing cleaner?
Acetone works great
Everytime he says debris I think of this joke: Did you hear about the cheese factory that blew up? There was da-bree everywhere
Brill vid.
Is my deck supposed to show crack marks at the top and bottom.
It depends! If it is just the joins in the bamboo that's normal. If the ply has begun to crack it may or may not be an issue depending on how bad it is. Reach out to your local Evolve service team with some photos and they will help you out!
Ok thanks
I notice you didn't remove the rubber shied from the bearings before soaking? Should I remove the rubber shield or no?
I aways really know how problem can do witch high tension from belts
While you are stuck at home could you please fix the app so that you can sign in with e-mail or google please.
How often do you recommend services ?
I did none in 2 years :D
@@sweatyhands9564 what board do you have
@@wadafup evolved bamboo gtr
@@wadafup but i got to say its absolutely worth it to service your board :D
@@sweatyhands9564 it looks like alot of work and I feel I might mess it up. My board is fairly new though. 2 months
Can I use paraffin wax instead of general purpose lubricant for pivot cups / bushings ?
This tutorial ended up with me having to buy new gear bearings. The gear bearings in my board are silver and not possible to pull the seals out as I found out and subsequently broke
🔥🔥🔥
How often you should service the board?
When it gets squeaky, belts skips, or anything isn't running smoothly anymore.
Do you guys grease the bushings etc when you build/sell them?
I had my Stoke for literally 1 day and the rear trucks are squeaking and creaking like a mofo..
Hi
I have speed washers on the inner side of my hubs, but none at the front, is this normal?
motors themselves require no maintenance?
How often do you perform maintenance?
It depends on how much you ride. When your board starts squeaking and creaking, or you can see a build-up of muck it's time to give it some love.
When the board of gtr2 break on nothing on the road no answer from evolve, no chat no Instagram, no mail....
Well when you type like that I would ignore you too
How do we revive the battery?
Can I use this video to service my Stoke?
Nice & Thanks :)
If Evovle ships me a board I ll be able to service it .... !
My drive gear bearings look a bit different and you can’t open them up. How can I lubricate them? Just pour the speed cream on top and let it sink in ?
Yes, that will be fine!
Evolve Skateboards thank you very much I’ll try it out. Great video and service by the way. Love the brand
My battery loses charge after not riding long, even when riding flat, do you allow battery replacements to buy?
Nick H Of course, hit up Evolve service
hey, I'd like to know and fix about remote disconnect and power switch flashing
Sounds like it may be an issue with the controller in the board. Reach out to our tech team and they can help you out!
@@evolveSkateboards I just contract the store and they will give a new motor controller but its funny I just been used for a week and the controller broken, totally use 5-10 minutes/day just one time charged battery.
Hey can you guys not run ads that can’t even be skipped on your customer support videos? I already paid $1800 for the board. Thanks.
@Evolve Skateboards is it possible to bring a board in to a facility for maintenance?
Of course. Check out your local website for details or call the team.
@@evolveSkateboards thank you for responding. That was a great help
Unfortunately I've started running into some very large issues with my board and I am not exactly sure what is happening. Its too bad that Evolve doesnt do a trade in program because I have no idea how to resolve the issue I am having.
Hi, we have service teams all around the world to help you diagnose and repair anything that might be going wrong with your board. Please send an email highlighting your concerns to your local Evolve team.
@@evolveSkateboards how do i find my local evolve team?
@@Janupa There will be a service department that works with your region. Where are you/where did you buy your board?
What lubricants do you use and on what parts?
k-y
My Service: Sold it and bought a new one.
That works too. Maybe we will make another tutorial on using this method...
Was it a Chinaboard?
@@mushieslushie he's talking bout an evolve
Could I unplug one of the motors if I’m not riding too hard?
No, as it doubles the strain going through that motor, and halves your acceleration and braking ability with no benefit at all.
Which alcohol would work best? My pops had Vodka and bourbon. Which one is best?
Where do I get a grip tape cleaner??
Most skate stores - search from Grip Gum!
Or use a nail brush. That's what I have been doing to my longboards for years now. First take any dirt that has been allowed to dry so you can more or less just dust it off and then with ever so little water on the brush, touch it up. Grip tape cleaner is better, but the other way works for me :)
Did you make this video because I emailed asking how to do this? 😁😁👍
Haha lots of people ask!
Only sheep were stuck at home
How to Service Chinaboard: Toss in trash.
Like most things these days they designed in Australia and built in China.. the labour costs and parts are much cheaper over there wich saves the company alot of money compared to if they built them here in oz , the quilty control has improved alot over the years wich is a good thing
