I bought a new battery on August 27, 2025, from your website.

Currently, the indicator light on the charger is constantly green (as if the battery isn't charging ☹️).
I have very little battery life, and the skateboard's remote control switches to eco mode very quickly. Could the battery already be worn out in such a short time?

I'm really not an expert in batteries, or the skateboard. Would appreciate some help.

I saw a video that said the adapters won't charge if battery is depleted below a certain voltage.]]> Sat, 11 Feb 2023 01:35:12 +0000 https://evolveforums.com/threads/switching-speed-modes-while-riding-is-it-possible.5081/ https://evolveforums.com/threads/switching-speed-modes-while-riding-is-it-possible.5081/ invalid@example.com (noktaleon) noktaleon It seem I have to come to a complete stop to switch speed modes.
For example, from safe mode to eco or fast, I have to ride it a little bit, come to a stop, and then use the mode 2 button to change modes. I can't seem to do it while I'm moving.
This is a problem because before any hills I want to switch into a faster mode so it can tackle it, but I don't exactly want to get off/stop to be able to do so.

I took the board out this morning, while riding in FAST mode (with the old remote), in street setup and with some one or two moderate hills, I was only able to get a range of 15 km's. I could possibly had pushed the board a little further in ECO mode, but it was already at the 10%...

I hope you are all fine.
I experienced a seriously accident with my evolve Skateboard. While riding straight ahead, with about 35 km/h, the brake kicked in and I flew off.
The wheels were locked. Even after the remote flew away and broke - you couldn't move the board (blocked wheels). we had to switch of the board completely and only then it was possible to move the wheels again.

Fun fact. some weeks before (i wasn't riding, because I was busy), Evolve hat me R2 Remote to fix a...

The orginial one is good at the moment, but a little bit too weak.

But I have a few questions and a few ideas for this:

1. Which 18680 Cells should I choose?
The 3500mah cells has a max Current about 10 Amps. The 2600mah brings about 35 Amps.

What is more important, the max current or the Capatizity?
(It would be a difference by 14000mah to 10000mah)

I just bought the 6" AT Tyre with the 47T Drive Gear for my Bamboo GT. (Edit - I typed 42T by mistake)

I don't see the setting for the 6" wheels on the remote.
Can my R2 remote be firmware updated to include these setting?
if not.
What would the best setting be to use as an alternative.

Thank you in advance.]]> 5 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 18:54:44 +0000 https://evolveforums.com/threads/evolve-bamboo-gt-wheels-locked-crash.1740/ https://evolveforums.com/threads/evolve-bamboo-gt-wheels-locked-crash.1740/ invalid@example.com (RaceToRed) RaceToRed
New to the forum. Posting this to see if anyone else has experienced this problem, and also, as a warning to those that haven't. This is a dangerous situation that needs to be addressed by Evolve. I know my battle scars aren't as bad as many others, but this is a real thing.

Here is the letter I wrote to Evolve today.

Hey Evolve,

My intention was that there is something wrong with one p group.

So i opened up the pack and measured the voltage on every “p goupe”. One “p goupe” had a lower Voltage as the others so i disasambled the pack.

My buddy purchased a brand new GTR Bamboo last week. Charged up and rode well for a few hours. Then he shut it down and a few hours later went to start it up again and the light on the switch on the board flashes and remote won’t pair. Can’t seem to find anything on it? Any tips? I’ve had a Stoke board for around 10 months, which has the GTR setup - and never seen this issue. Indeed board runs fine.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or info.]]> 1 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 09:48:21 +0000 https://evolveforums.com/threads/strange-issue-bamboo-gt-not-turning-on-or-charging.3967/ https://evolveforums.com/threads/strange-issue-bamboo-gt-not-turning-on-or-charging.3967/ invalid@example.com (mcbanj0) mcbanj0
Been having a strange issue with my board. I got it off gumtree and upgraded the battery pack due to the terrible battery degradation on the board when I got it (it was getting only about 40-50% of its range potential). Bought the new R2 remote and everything was going great with the board for a number of months, amazing range, then one day the board would not turn on at all.

The power light doesn't blink blue at all when I turned it on, remote wouldn't pair, etc.
