Evolve Bamboo GTX Electric Skateboard Announced

do you know when will they start shipping ??

 

Oh ok!! But we have for Europe, Evolve UK for instance. So I suppose Evolve UK also will have that preorder maybe?

 

Nice, thx!

 

I didn't have to pay anything to preorder it besides the price of the product. The only issue I have is that I don't actually have a definitive time-period it will deliver. It says "Delivery Aug" but that's all.

 

The thing is, for Boosted Board, you pay 100$ for preorder, and you don't pay entire amount, till they tell you they are going to send it

 

I don't know why they / Evolve do full money down on pre-orders still. Companies do that if they don't have the money or cashflow to keep production going. At this stage of Evolve you'd think they'd be fine with money in the bank to keep production and R&D moving forward.

Yes, companies like to have your money before giving you the product, why, its money in the bank that they can use before they deliver anything. This means they can use your money to fund their projects and to buy supplies to build things, again, if they can't do their budget right and they don't have a good business model with how things work as you do have a secure client base. They also reap the free interest from having your money in the bank, where you're not getting it no-more.

I honestly hope Evolve did their homework with the GTX and resolved the remote interference and drop-out issues. Something tells me they didn't, and what they implemented is the board drops down into a dumb mode when it looses connection between the remote and controller. I would have thought they would have addressed this with the latest product release, the Evolve 1, but as we see its just as bad with drop-outs and dangerous issues as the GT had. So it inherited the problems of the family line.

Truth and time will tell if Evolve fixed things with real honest reviews and feedback from the users and youtube reviewers.

 

I'm sure that the remote it´s exactly the same. They just had a firmware update and that´s it, but those problems losing connection etc will continue. I don't know why, but every youtuber I ask about those connection problems, they say that they never had any. Weird

 

Do the motors heat up alot? I have a new GTX on order and I am wondering if you can put protection film on the motors to prevent scratching or if the motors heat up too much for this to be advisable.

Thanks

 

Anyone know when the new wheels will be available?

 

I preordered mine from Evolve Germany. Their shop stated it should take 5 weeks untill the shipment arrives. I hope I get it early August at the latest, so I can put it to test when it's still summer.

 

Thank you for the info! I wonder how these wheels will compare to the ABEC 11’s.

 

The opening has happened and on youtube - thicker battery and routed deck as expected. Motor controller same position, BMS still integrated into battery.

 

Thanks for the info! It seems easier to route a Bamboo deck by yourself and use a custom battery pack instead of upgrading a Bamboo GT with GTX deck and battery...

 

true that
