Can you use an electric longboard manually?

If you are considering buying an electric skateboard, there are many questions that come to mind, and understanding how the board works is extremely important! Evolve is a brand created for riders, by racers, and below we answer some of the common doubts skaters have about electric figure skating.

  Can you ride a normal electric skateboard when the battery runs out?

  The great thing about the Evolve power boards is that they turn into standard skateboards when the battery runs out. You will be able to reach your destination easily on your own as you surf on the road.

  However, that's not a common thing as the Evolve electric longboard has maximum power and range, allowing you to skate longer! In most cases, you want to make sure you get a full-sized battery for your GTR for maximum range, but you should also be aware of travel batteries. The standard GTR battery will take you 50 kilometers on street wheels and 30 kilometers on all-terrain tires. The GTR Travel Battery will let you travel 15km with your street setup and 10km with your all-terrain tires.

  If you need to charge it on the go, don't worry! The Evolve GTR Series comes standard with a fast battery charger to maximize ride time!

  Can you ride a normal electric skateboard if I'm a heavy rider?

  Too much of this weight limit can result in the board losing torque and straining the electronic components. However, the Evolve Hadean Series, with its carbon floor, is well-suited for heavy/tall riders.

  In the video, we talk about the difference that adds a few pounds to the performance of your board.

  Can you ride a normal electric skateboard when it rains?

  No, we do not rate any of our boards as water-resistant or waterproof. Riding in wet conditions is dangerous due to the slippery surfaces and can put stress on the wheel bearings and the engine, not to mention you get wet and dirty while riding.

  In our latest GTR Series, we have gone to great lengths to seal the electric tanks to prevent water from entering when it rains during the ride. This was tested in a water tank and showed that no water entered the housing. On-board seals are subject to exact installation procedures, and therefore sealing capabilities may vary. 

  Always obey and check local road laws and other applicable laws in your area to see where you can ride. Do not ride on busy roads with marked lines as this will endanger yourself and other road users. Electric skateboards for commuting are the latest addition to different national vehicle classifications and laws. Check the regulations in your area!

  Can you ride an all-terrain electric skateboard normally?

  With asphalt, concrete, grass, gravel, trails, BMX tracks, bumps, mounds, ledges, you can ride the Evolve electric skateboard anywhere.

  We recommend checking which wheel you will be using in each terrain. Evolve board is the only brand on the market that offers street and terrain converters, so you can have the best of both worlds!

Battery capacity

  The battery capacity of an electric skateboard is the most determining factor in the overall range of the skateboard. In general, if other factors such as board weight, rider weight, etc. are taken into account, the larger the battery capacity of the board, the longer the operating range.

  In particular, the watt-hour battery is something you really want to look out for when buying a production electric skateboard or when building your own DIY setup.

  The most important thing to look out for when buying a board or battery is the watt-hour capacity. Although, unfortunately, some board or battery manufacturers do not give you the watt-hours of the battery.

  If that's the case, just record the volts and amp-hours and execute this simple equation to work out the total watt-hours: volts x amp-hours = watt-hours.

  This is important because watt-hours are really what matters when it comes to range, volts or amps really don't give you the big picture. As a general rule, more watt-hours = more riding range.

Output motor power

  The next most important element of an electric skateboard's operating range is the board's overall motor power. Some electric skateboards simply have a single motor setup, some have a dual setup, and some even have a quad setup with one motor on each wheel.  

The higher the output power of each motor, the more drive power they require and the faster they drain the board's battery capacity.

  In the end, it's a balance between speed and range.

  Weight

  The weight of the board plus the weight of the rider is clearly another important factor in the range of electric skateboards.  

The more weight, the less range. Pretty straightforward.

  In addition to increasing riding range, which is a big selling point, electric skateboard manufacturers have another motivation to remove any unnecessary weight from the design of the board.|

  The lighter the electric skateboard, the easier it is to carry and move.

  Equestrian style

Developing a riding habit and being mindful of your board's battery savings can mean the difference between saving up enough juice to get home or walking the last three blocks with your board in hand.

  Try these riding tips to increase battery life:

  Anti-acceleration too fast.

Kick push the board to start.

Avoid multiple stops and starts.

Avoid steep hills.

Use regenerative braking if possible.

Ride at low speed.

  Inference

  Can you ride a normal electric skateboard?

  Sure, if you have a badge that allows you to do it. If not, find a table with a practical handle.
