Hi, I’m new over here and preordered the Carbon GT 2 in 1. For the purpose of flight with the board, can an owner post the End 2 End length size of the board? Including the rear motors? Also can some please post an image of the battery itself?
Thanks Idan
Hi Idan, 108 or 109mm from the forward edge of the front tire, to the rear of the motor.
Wow Thanks for the quick respond. Any idea getting image of that battery?
Thanks!!
Just wondering with all the glossy carbon on the gt would it get all scratched up when you stand on it and use it all the time? I had the bamboo street and never had that issue. And whats the flex like on the gt deck compared to the bamboo street? On my bamboo i used to get scratches all over the motor mount and and motor itself and wondering if that issue is still current with the gt? As i would hate to see a scratch on those outrunner motors. New to carbon boards but ive seen videos of people jumping and flexing their bamboo boards and if that was done on the gt would it crack or snap?
I’ve done maybe 120-50 km so far, including wet/ muddy days where my shoes get dirt/ grit on them, and I just had a good look at the deck- no scuffs or scratching from my feet at all. But @Rob.Endless had significant scuffing very early on from memory. Not sure how the others are faring. I’ve scratched the back of the motor mounts slightly- a shop assistant held my board and when I got back she was resting it on the ground on the motor end… But because these have an exposed motor design, and the backend is heavy than the front, there is a good chance the rear motor mounts and motors will get scuffed eventually, especially if you ever pick it up from the front. The flipside is, the board has excellent clearance (relatively speaking) underneath, because the motors aren’t forward of the rear trucks (more prone to scuff on speed humps/ driveways). No flex in the board at all. It feels like a tank so no, I no, you couldn’t crack or snap it, IMO. It is solid. Being Carbon fibre though, it’s pretty unforgiving on sharp/ blunt impacts as a couple blokes have discovered already. Where wood will dent a little, carbon fibre will damage pretty bad, but can be repaired. At the end of the day as good as these things look, they are built for riding and they will wear with use. Keen to hear if others are finding their boards scratching up or not.
What’s under the carbon? What kind of core is it?
I rode it. It’s a nice stiff deck. Not much concave.
U can fix it.
@Mr_Mahal, really sorry for your misfortune, hope you get it fixed and on the street soon.
Has Evolve advised you on what to do? Can’t they repair it?
id a car ran over it? or did you crash it on a car tyre? Is this the front of the deck?
Not yet, happened on Thursday, said they would talk about it Friday – turned into Tuesday… (holiday weekend I guess) [quote=“constantinos156, post:1798, topic:2510”] Can’t they repair it? [/quote]
Potentially, will figure out tomorrow hopefully
Hope you didn 't get hurt man.
@constantinos156 nope, my foot is fine…board took pretty much all impact…
@Hummie here is the vid that screen shot (not the actual incident, just the post-damage) is from http://sendvid.com/mxwjn1lg
Good news, Boards can get fixed/replaced, legs not that easy. Hope this makes you feel slightly better
It’s all I’ve heard since, I am grateful it was the board. Just sucks that it had to happen so soon.
Sorry to see this happen, though better the board than feet. Good luck getting some options from Evolve tomorrow!
Wow mate, I feel for you. Glad you avoided injury though. I hope they can help you out.
This makes me think- can you get insurance on electric skateboards? I’ve driven cars worth less than these things.
I’ve got home and contents insurance which covers personal recreational devices being stolen, including when I’m away from home. I’m sure you could get some cover for damages as well as theft?
