Sweet wheels man !

Andrew, what kind of wheels are those in the picture? Thanks in advance.

Super cool !!

Yeah it is pretty stealthy... if it only had a jet black finish, it would be cool, or camoflauge I have not weighed it officially, but it is pretty light... I can lift with one hand no problem and I can carry under arm no problem ..but I might look a little funny on a bus... But you really have to look twice at this board to see it is an electric...

One thing, is that the motor seems super quiet compared to my brush motor boards, I do not know if that is just me though... The board size is perfect for me... but I tend to like longboards also... From my test ride, I can say it really does turn on a dime... As soon as I can take it outside, I have a nice flat path nearby, I am going to do the GPS speed test etc.. but so far I can say the acceleration was very acceptable to me ... I do not really ride at full speed most of the time, but it is nice to know you have it, when you need it.

Cheers

Thanks I am sooo ready to go riding...

Hi, this is totally different board than the Elektroskate... This motor is 200W and Elektroskate is 500, 600 or 900 W.

As far as the battery is concerned, I think it is probably similar to ES AIR 500 (36V) but I am not sure if the battery is sourced from different LiPO manufacturer not... You could ask from Jeff or Fleur from Evolve on statistics about the motor and battery though, they are really nice guys in Australia and are best to answer questions about this board.

I have actually found same exact ES board on other skateshops, compare for example this board in Australia from Neptune Electric Skateboards, the specs seem to be almost if not EXACTLY the same as ES-AIR 500 (except maybe the deck is different):

http://www.neptuneelectric.com.au/boards/tarmac-carvers.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1&category_id=3

These boards seems to be mainly manufactured in Jiangsu, China, but I am not too sure about that... but still... I like these kinds of lightweight boards... I have also the Metro-Board shortboard and that is a great board, although totally different design...

On the Evolve board, the main thing that gets me pumped about this board is the deck/trucks/bearings/wheels combo... really nice and about same price as ES board... I will know more in June/July when I get one of these for a real test This Evolve Board is also a totally new design..but the Evolve guys can tell you more if you want to ask them.

As a side note, I did myself buy an ES-AIR 500 board from Elektroskate in UK so that I could try it out and compare to my other boards... Just as I will with the Evolve Board and also a new Metro-Board 2012 model with new 600W motor.

This is super cool

Hi, this was old shortboard model with max 24km top speed with only 400w motor, the new model for this shortboard has 30km top speed (in all perfect conditions) with 600w motor.

Hi sorry for late comments, I been out for a while... this is previous model that used IR controller. and the IR receiver was placed into a hole and the sealant was for insulation I guess... Now Metro-Board uses the 2.4 ghz wireless wii nunchuck controllers..no more hole in the boards....

Thanks ! Next boards I will get will be the ES 600 or 800... I have to save up my pennies :=)
