If you’re a regular listener to the podcast, you may know I’ve been riding around on an Evolve electric skateboard<\/a> for the last few weeks. Well, the Gold Coast-based company has just announced\u00a0a new dual-motor model called the Carbon GT Series:<\/p>\n The Evolve Carbon GT Series is an aesthetically unique electric skateboard focusing on power, performance and versatility.<\/p>\n – 3000 Dual Brushless Sensored Outrunner motors I’m really eager to see what this new board is like. I commute into the city on my current board (a single-motor Carbon with the all-terrain wheels) about 20km a day, and though it’s great, there are a handful of hills that are too steep for me\u00a0to ride up. More power would solve that for me.<\/p>\n If you’re new to electric skateboards,\u00a0buyers often\u00a0choose\u00a0between\u00a0Evolve<\/a>\u00a0– less speed, but longer range (30km per charge)\u00a0and\u00a0all-terrain wheels, or the American-based\u00a0Boosted Board<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0lots of power, but more\u00a0limited range (10-15km per charge), and no AT wheels.<\/p>\n This new model from Evolve seems to be the best of both worlds – tons of power, but rocking a huge range (30-50km), and optionally\u00a0keeping the AT wheels (which I adore).<\/p>\n No price has been announced yet, but\u00a0order details\u00a0will be available\u00a0on the 25th May.<\/p>\n
\n– Up to 50km\/31miles on the Street GT. Up to 30km\/18.5miles on the All terrain GT.
\n– 35-42km\/hr Speed (depending on wheel and gear size).
\n– Hill climbing of up to 25% gradient (insanely steep!).
\n– Built in electrics.
\n– 2in1 setups (swap between street and AT wheels in minutes).
\n– Digital LCD screen remote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
