eSkate Chat with Evolve

2021 has been a crazy world for manufacturing and delivering products but we have good news! The majority of the Hadean's first shipments have been fulfilled around the world, with USA boards on their way to customers from tomorrow. Hundred's of riders have been sharing their feedback and we couldn't be more stoked to see the Hadean Series in the real world.

It was 2012 when we first created a carbon fibre electric skateboard. It was the worlds first eSkate that housed the electronics completely inside the deck itself to give it the slimline look of a traditional skateboard. Since then, we have continued to work with carbon fibre to utilise its strength, malleability and beautiful aesthetics to create the worlds finest boards.

We now have 9 different boards to choose from, so how do you know which one is right for you?  We talk with our customer experience manager about the common questions our teams tackle when dealing with soon-to-be customers... Stoke, GTR or Hadean? All-Terrain or Street? bamboo or Carbon?

We sit down with our lead designer to talk about what the design process looks like for an Evolve board. From initial sketches and prototyping parts, to sending a final board into production, there is many challenges and successes in creating a ground-up design.  

“Electric forms of transport are an interesting area of development. Aimed at high-end users, the Evolve Carbon Hadean is a premium version of an existing model that showcases a smart use of materials and design construct to reduce weight and bulk. The well-executed upgrade cleverly uses smart technology in the processing (including composite forged carbon fibre) and the electronics (including lithium-Ion battery cells electric motors) to ooze speed and performance. A standout project that ticks all the boxes for good design in this category. Well done.” ~ Good Designs Awards Jury

At Evolve we absolutely love John and his unique zest for life. It's been over 3 years since we made his first custom board and that time has been filled with some rad rides and good times. Thanks to John for jumping on the podcast and sharing some stories and inspiration!

It’s not every day we get a new ambassador in the Evolve family, but when we do we are stoked it is someone like Colorado Cadi. Cadi has been on the eSkate scene for years shooting epic content and being a driving force behind the eSkate community growth in (you guessed it) Colorado. Evolve is grateful to have him on our team and to have the chance to sit down for a discussion on skate, local scenes, and the effect of hobbies on mental health and recovery.

Our New York ambassador joins us to talk all things electric transportation, community events, the Hadean and eSkate's future! Tom has been a prominent member in the local eSkate scene for years now and does an amazing job of organising group rides and bring riders from all branches of PEV’s together. If you’re ever in NY, hit him up for a skate through Times Square!
