    + Top Speed: Approx. 42kph/26mph on the street GTX and Approx. 35-41kph/22-25mph on the All Terrain GTX depending on wheel size. Speeds may vary depending on rider weight and terrain..

    + Regenerative Braking: ABS firm & smooth braking providing power back into the battery with maximum control over speed. Has the ability to bring you to a complete stop if required.

    + Noise: Minimal noise

    REMOTE UPDATE
    The GTX ships with the evolve LCD screen remote, featuring the new firmware update. This includes:

    + Auto Safe mode - if the board and remote have any signal disturbance or data processing glitch, the board will switch to Auto Safe mode and have a gradual brake and acceleration setting which can then be exited by pressing the speed mode button to resume previous speed setting

    + 5 % Auto Battery protection - if your battery drops under 5% your board will automatically go into ECO Mode once you let the trigger go

    + Removal of the reverse function

    + Screen freeze and data processing enhancement between remote and motor controller

    + Font improvements - makes it s a little prettier :)

    This firmware update will be installed in all new GT boards leaving the factory AND will be available to ALL CURRENT GT owners. Please contact your closest distributor for details.

    looks like I pretty decent upgrade - again we need an easier way to get remote firmware update - hope that safe mode is as good as it sounds

    Looks like they've done the physicals mods everyone is doing already and the new [safe] / 5% remote sounds like what I've been wanting since I got the board. Looking forward to getting the firmware

    I want to know what batteries they're using, and how many mm bigger the battery box is compared to the old one. So pumped I'm definitely pre ordering. This is how happy I am right now. 20170616_215921.png

    Any way to get the firmware without taking the remote to a dealer?

    I doubt it. They're not user upgradable. You'll probably have to post it in.

    Still, it's a pretty great move on Evolves part IMO. Everyone should be on the safest, most up to date firmware.

    I'm sure it makes troubleshooting issues a heck of a lot easier too.
