The light on the charging adapter stays green ( indicating a full charge ) instead of turning red and charging.
Board still works perfectly fine , but not getting any increase in battery

3 days ago I connected the board 100% charged, after my trip I returned home with 25% battery left, then I plug it but don't charge the board either the charger...

Had the rear wheels lock up while riding on a smooth road, going fairly slow (about 15-20 km/hour) without any user input on the remote. Felt like full 100% brakes hitting instantly. Caused me to fall and hit hard on both hands (wearing gloves), probably re-injuring a wrist injury I got a few years ago riding my CGT.

My initial thought is this happened due to a...

Hello, Just bought a GTR Carbon

it goes too fast for me to push all the way yet

but is it normal when i accelerate powerfully in GTR mode or Pro, to hear a sound in the back? it doesn’t make that clicking sound when i gather speed though? it s really in the first 2 meters?
It s the same sound when i break as well?

Well I backed off a little too far and the board stopped dead! I got 2 or 3 steps in before hitting the pavement hard! Skin off the palms but my impact shorts and knee pads did their job!
The remote took a reasonable knock but everything seemed to work heading up the rest of the hill, It wasn’t until I had to brake that I notice as...

I'm currently riding a 2 year old Evolve GTR bamboo (All Terrain) board. I love it but I would like to make some upgrades and perform some maintenance. Specifically, I'd like to increase the speed (max 20mph). My current reading leads me to believe that I have 7 inch wheels with 66T gears, and that if I want to go faster, I should upgrade to 47T gears. Are there any preferred websites to purchase parts for my board?

Also, are there any other recommended upgrades/maintenance that...

Can someone help me
When I wanted to ride the GTR today, a connection was established for a short time .. the board drove and shortly afterwards the connection was gone again! The board stops responding.


Vll. Kann mir jemand helfen
Als ich heute mit dem GTR fahren wollte, wurde eine Verbindung kurzzeitig hergestellt.. das Board fuhr und kurz im Anschluss war die Verbindung wieder weg! Das Board reagiert nicht mehr.

I've had my board since august 2019 and ridden probably about 1k miles.
I've only fallen off the board twice due to abnormal remote disconnect (one time was while going uphill); with no major injuries (only a sprain shoulder for about 2 months).

Another symptom I've noticed is when going downhill, I would have to slowly click the break to get the gears into place (I think) before I do real braking. It does the 'jerky'/skip thing where it would throw you off the board if...

First off its incredible how this community comes together to answer questions share tips and the over love of these awesome boards. I'm relatively new to all this so I may not know component technical names

Here's my dilemma. My dog and I both love the Bamboo GTR. He's off leash and has no problem keeping up. The other day we're running on a pathway beside a creek and (yes you guessed it) the board took a dive. Completely submerged. I was a good 6.5 miles from my car and...

since I got my Evolve board, I'm trying to find the battery diagnostics on the new remote control. the product Info page looks different and shows no battery voltage. the trick with a double-click and then hold a button, apparently no longer works. does anyone have an idea how this works?
I had a Bamboo GT and a buddy confirmed that it works on his Bamboo GTX R2 remote. Is the „new“ R2 remote so diffrent?

best regards
Juriza
