Was gifted an evolve Carbon GT and it cleaned up really well. Was all working fine but batteries were failing and could only ride for a km or so on level ground (slowly), not up the slightest of hills and only at Eco mode, battery still ran down fast. The last charge I did on the old batteries it wouldn't turn on...

After build I quickly did a test fit and it looked good, then I shrink wrap the lot. More testing and then charged up to 42V road test as fallows on GT mode :
1mile
1mile
3.3miles
2.2miles
2.5miles
3.5miles
Total GT mode = 13.5
Maybe in one continues burst it would of been less.

Also original pack only did 5-6 miles tops !

I was going along 20mph/h uphill in GT mode, no problem.... The board must have auto changed down to ECO, when I got near the top, and shifted down 2 times. Thinking I would now go into ECO, but in reality that caused the board to go into reverse, because it self had shifted to ECO already.

Smashed my face into the road... hip screwed, hands teared open... thanks Evolve for...

It doesn't seem to work right. It cuts out and turns off power to the board when you try to accelerate hard, either kicks into safe mode or trips power switch to off. I've checked a lot of the connections, and all are ok. It appears that one of the Battery cells is bad, causing the issue, I believe. Looks like Cell 6 is the issue.? See picture attached.

With that said, there are a few QC issues that concern me. On the very first ride, while in fast mode accelerating, the remote would momentarily cutout and pick back up. While this wasn't a huge issue in this scenario, it could be if I was going down a steep hill or accelerating hard in GT...

The board tested fine on a ~8 mile ride, prior to sale, paired with a R2 remote. The buyer chose to purchase with the GT/R1 remote (which had not been used for ~1 year). After questionable pairing and on/off order, the board is now lagging from gt (or fast), to eco, on a full charge. The battery recovers indicated charge percentage normally, and "tops up"/ charges normally, but still continually drops...

I was wondering if anyone has a Carbon GT that they can measure the deck area where you place your feet, er even better, if someone has both a GT and GTR carbon, can you take a side by side comparison photo.

In this shot (above) after I had fitted the new kit, the tyre was actually rubbing against the belt guard on the inside of the wheel. I’ve placed a brightly coloured cloth to highlight & help show through any daylight between the guard & the wheel but there’s no gap at all. I was so mad keen to get on the board after I fitted the AT kit to my GT board that I didn’t pick up on this at the time, but I really felt after riding that a) there was extra noise that I...

Are you customize your eskate.

My plan is, 4 motor x 250W = 1000W.
