Unethical Facebook page for GT

    Hi guys, I came across the following page that seems a bit wrong about the GT:

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/289506281401312/

    Seems like a scare tactic site. I tried joining this site 2 days ago but it is still in pending status. There is a post showing that some guy died from not wearing a helmet on a GT. This is NOT the fault of the board maker but rather the lack of intelligence of the rider not taking precaution of riding a moving object. Evolve states clearly that helmets and proper protection gear MUST be used at all times. I guess they didn't read that part in the forum... Anyways this is a rubbish group that does not do any EV skaters any good. I recommend you try to join the group and comment your honest opinion as a true responsible EV rider. This is how our freedoms are taken away from us.

    They also show a bent GT motor mount, but how did it get into that configuration? They fail to disclose. If you have any defects with your board report them to Evolve. They'll tally up the numbers and I'm confident they'll make the board better.

    This is the first I've seen of that particular group, but I've seen the video linked.

    It seems like it's sadly an unsatisfied customer who attempted to create a slanderous and damaging video because they have an axe to grind. Instead of resolving their issues through the correct channels, they decided to go on some kind of social media crusade to try and damage the brand.

    They consolidated as many damaging and negative comments they could find from around the web and created that video. Many of which I'm lead to believe aren't even accurate or taken completely out of context.

    The person responsible may not even be a real customer, I'm not sure.

    Sadly there's been a few people who have decided to take it upon themselves to stir up trouble like this. While there may have been merit to their original claims, when they go overboard like this it becomes very difficult to differentiate them from someone who has a genuine issue that would like to work with Evolve to get it resolved from some nutjob that wants to simply stir **** up on the internet.

    You're right. If you look at the person who created the page, its a fake person that was created to just create the crazy FB page. Wonder if we can contact Evolve to contact Facebook to have it taken down. My request is still pending for that group, can't comment until, and I don't have any pull to have FB removed. The company however has more pull I'm sure, especially if they can prove it was created by a fake guy.

    the group seems to be public and only have 1 member which is the owner, sadly everyone is entitled to create pages and have opinions no matter how accurate they are, and you can not lobby to get them deleted in any way. Constructive feedback is more helpful that keyboard warriors.

    This guy is a well known troll that Evolve are already aware of. He responsible for hater vids on you tube pinching pics and dont even own a GT. Has multiple aliases and was on the FB owners group a while back with his pretend aliases backing each other up. Complete fruit loop

    some people are just pre disposed to be be negative, maybe it gives them a little boost or something, your guess is as good as mine.

    Good to check these things out and make sure the facts are telling the story. In this case it is obvious this person should be neglected.

    Interesting thing, that pic the disgruntled person posted shows the guy ran over something the scrapped the hell out of the rear motor mount under the truck area. No wonder the motor-mount bent. That's not an Evolve issue, that's a rider issue who doesn't take full responsibility or consequences for their own actions and poor judgement.

    I reported the creator of the page, basically for not being a real person. His forum / group page is gone now as well too.

    You anonymously reported Max Dagost for pretending to be someone they're not.
