This is good advice I haven’t heard before regarding the height and stiffness of the board. And yeah I have seen a lot of comments referring to evolves issues like above and also their price to spec ratio. The biggest issue for me is I live in NZ so evolve is the dominant brand in nz unless I buy one of a dodgy looking website lol

Keep in mind I live in NZ and there’s like 2 mainstream brands to buy here but I agree

Lol every one says harder why softer?

Just gotta full send no brakes

Ya have they never heard of the T pose dance

Pahahahahahhahahahaga

Oh lol this is an old pic on just a regular longboard cruising around my university campus to and from classes. No toes were ever hurt but I did typically wear vans

This is the best comment on this thread.

First of all I’m so sorry to hear about your friend who passed away. That is so so heartbreaking, and a good reminder to wear a helmet.

My first initial question is apparently this board comes with a fast charger but if that’s bad I’m hesitant to buy another one lol.

All those tips on weight distribution are great thanks. I definitely don’t think I’ll be rocketing down the street I just like chill carving seshes and enjoying the ride not going crazy fast. That’s kinda one reason I got it was to gain confidence going at higher than regular speeds and also knowing I have the ability to break.

Anyway I guess I’ll see when it gets here then if I don’t enjoy I can return it within 14 days supposedly

Because I live in in NZ this is the most readily available brand without ridiculous shipping costs and times no support and also I liked that they are using a loaded deck as I’d buy a loaded longboard anyway

Nelson bro I wish I know people here with electric boards

That’s just a normal longboard mate haha

This makes me feel like I won’t like it and will return it hahahaha

I’m awkward enough as it is

I plan on just getting a helmet so I hope this is enough

Is full face necessary? I feel like it would impede my view

Bro everything in NZ costs an arm and leg and our wages certainly don’t reflect it either…. But hey steady it’s a beautiful country and the people are nice lol

Omg that’s so cool we are more or less in the same boat exactly. I hope we both come to love our boards. If you are ever in Nelson I’d love to cruise some paths with you or anyone for that matter

Holy moly I’m so sorry that happened to you

Also for me it’s not about the specs at all. I mean I want to go semi long distance but this should suit my needs fine. It’s just for cruising. And I also don’t think I want to go mega fast. I liked this board because it is beautifully designed and it’s made by a longboard company and I like that

Bro where do you live???

Thank you for this well thought out comment… and that’s the word I was looking for- BUYER REMORSE. And I haven’t even got the board yet 😂. So I’m confused you got the same board as me or you got a different one? Because I sure hope it comes with a remote for that price, it says it does.

But yeah 60 day shipping is wild for all those other boards plus no support. At least with evolve aswell if I do hate it I can return in 14 days.

Cool to hear someone in a similar boats take- did you coming from a skate/ longboard background too? I think it would help aswell if I knew people in my local area with electric board as I’d love to do a group ride even if it’s just 2 or 3 people but I live in Nelson and I’ve seen 1 or 2 riders but am not aware of any community like that here

Where do you live??? In NZ I’ve never seen those brands for sale unless you add $500 shipping which equalises the price

I’m glad it’s changed your life man good to hear it

That’s gotta be mind boggling haha

When and what board did you purchase?

Noooo don’t say that- whyyyy
