Actually I’m gonna move my question to a new thread instead of derailing this one…
It’s pretty spankin new as far as I know
Average esk8 has been around for a while, but this board is new
Moved my question here:
Whether or not this is true I suggest you stay away from the “we detuned this board because we’re worried about your safety” messaging. It sounded like bullshit when Boosted said it about Dual+ that only went 23 miles an hour, it sounds like bullshit when Evolve says it and sounds like bullshit when you say it.

Do what you feel is right and consider constructive criticism. In all honesty, no esk8 company comes close to evolve in sales. 30 million a year since last confirmed. They’re doing something right. You’ll get no love here though unless you cater to the diy crowd in some way. I pucker thinking about releasing shit on this forum because the moment you do, you got 50 engineers running mathematical equations telling you to fuck off hahaha. Fuck it, trial by fire. Good luck.

Lol the only way to succeed here is run the calculations yourself and learn how to take crap from people, then improve it before releasing officially

I agree, but I’ve seen wrong assumptions from engineers here. There’s theory and there’s practice. If it works in practice then I could care less about your theories (not saying you, just in general).

Hmm yeah I mean it does happen sometimes. I’m not a real book-talk person, I like to see actual results.

Hi there, from what it sounds like I would suggest the Demon 2.0 from Propulsion Boards. It has a ubox or foc box which are both really good. They are a US based company and their board cost as much as a evolve or onsra but has equal or better specs. 38 mph with the Street wheels and 32 mph with the All Terrain wheels and 30 miles with the Street option and 18 miles with the All Terrain option. They use bigger motors and from what I hear its really powerful

For some reason I’m always sketched out by new accs plugging vendors on their first post.
Maybe I’m just paranoid since the Ecomobl thread.
Scary internet.

I was just about to make this comment and wanted to see if anyone else said it. I was going to say with 175mm wheels expect half the range they claim. 15km maybe you can push it to 20 but don’t count on it. It’s BS how they make these claims and fool innocent people just getting into esk8. Not to mention 52km on 120mm cloud?! More like 30-40km

I feel like they can claim that if it can happen in laboratory conditions, but as soon as they say or imply the phrase “real world riding” that’s when I feel like they’re full of shit.
No normal guy going out for a ride is gonna get that.
YMMV, this is only my opinion

I’m 160lbs and I ride at 20km/hr max 30. It doesn’t get much better than that for mileage

Good point!
I think is so close to final price, is it? Around 500$ as gross margin including the building, the guarantee and the taxes.
Overall… I see other model of deck,.
An what do you think about Brexit??
if all the board are shipped from UK… it probably will be a pain in the ass adding extra cost to the final price
I was wondering the same thing so I shot them an email last week, here the response I got:
Hello,
We are shipping from the UK. VAT will not be charged to you. We will have that covered so all you pay is the price you see on our site.
Thank you for the interest
Kind regards

So it seems no brexit shipping problems for me inside the EU, don’t know about shipping outside of the EU.
