Safety first

In one video Jeff says "safety first" and in another video you see him riding without a helmet and flipflops:

Don't ride like this, especially when a lot of kids are watching.

The Evolve GT is one of the most powerful and most dangerous eboards out there and according to facebook, reddit and forums, no other board caused more injuries than this, so be careful and wear at least a helmet.

 

And what's with wearing a helmet and not having the strap done up? See it all the time!

 

If I am exploring Fast or GT mode then I wear a helmet no question. For cruising in slow or ECO mode which I tend to stay most frequently it is no faster than my other boards and IMO safer as you have brakes. Agreed though kids, stay safe, potholes kill

 

Wearing a helmet is always a good idea. Not wearing a helmet is almost always not a good idea. It doesn't matter how experienced you are -- if your board's motor controller suddenly fries, you go flying. If something gets wedged in your belt, you go flying. You have no way of anticipating something catastrophic going wrong and there is a good chance that it will happen someday.

Wear a helmet no matter what, if for no other reason that this activity is NEW. If more people have major trauma because they weren't wearing a helmet on an electric skateboard, then you might have to deal with government cracking down on e-skates or banning them altogether (as they are in some countries). Act responsibly so we don't lose the privilege. As Alex says, accidents aren't always your fault.

 

They should add the Evolve helmet as a standard or with a special discount when ordered together with your board. Also good promotion of the brand....

 

They should have different sizes of the Evolve helmet. One size doesn't cut it.
