My questions is around the size of the silver washer that goes between the gear and the truck. Does anyone know the size, does it have to be a certain thickness?]]> Thu, 31 Oct 2024 03:48:46 +0000 https://evolveforums.com/threads/how-to-charge-not-completely-basic.5810/ https://evolveforums.com/threads/how-to-charge-not-completely-basic.5810/ invalid@example.com (Operator7) Operator7
With my ebike (Stromer), it is suggested to only charge the battery up to 80 or 90% to get the best battery life. Is this the same case with Evolve skateboards?]]> 1 Fri, 29 Mar 2024 06:34:11 +0000 https://evolveforums.com/threads/evolve-gtr2-not-moving-belt-ripped-off.5634/ https://evolveforums.com/threads/evolve-gtr2-not-moving-belt-ripped-off.5634/ invalid@example.com (Nickyson) Nickyson

Hey everyone, now I am not the most sophisticated person in the realm of these boards so I am reaching out for help. I have the AT wheel setup. I was ascending on a soft dirt incline and my left side belt ripped. My board automatically got place into safe mode and I was able to skate home roughly 3 blocks from where I was at. Now however the board only powers...

It seems like some water ingress may have caused some components to blow on the circuit board, which is strange because we live in southern Portugal where it is pretty dry most of the time and he hasn't used it when it has been wet..

So.. the board seem to run ok with only one motor. Is it safe to continue to run it like this or should I stop using it before the spare belt arrives?

Cheers!

Haven't taken them for a ride yet, but so far assembly is way easier and when inflated seem to spin normally as well. FYI.

When pushing on the accelerator on the remote (both the LCD older version, and the new R2), my board sometimes does not respond at all (Despite being connected to the remote). Has anyone had this problem? If I release trigger and wait, for seemingly random periods, then all of a sudden the trigger will work.

Would anyone be able to provide insight into this potential...
