Can you ride an electric skateboard normally when the battery runs out?
The great thing about Evolve electric boards is that they turn into standard skateboards when the battery dies. You'll be able to propel yourself to your destination with ease as you glide down the road.
However, that is not a common thing as the Evolve electric skateboards have the maximum power & range, allowing you to ride your board for longer! In most cases, you want to make sure to get the full-sized battery for your GTR to get maximum range, but you should also know about the travel batteries.

The GTR Travel Battery will let you travel 15km with your street setup and 10km on your all-terrain tires.
If you need to charge it along the way, don't worry! Evolve GTR Series come standard with the fast battery charger for maximized ride time!

Can you ride an electric skateboard normally if I'm a heavy rider?
Too much over this weight limit can result in the board losing its torque and straining the electronic components. However, the Evolve Hadean Series, with carbon deck, is great for heavy/tall riders.
In the video, we talk about the differences a few extra pounds make to your board's performance.
Can you ride an electric skateboard normally when it's raining?
No, we do not rate any of our boards to be water-resistant or waterproof. Riding in wet conditions is very dangerous due to slippery surfaces and can put stress on the wheel bearings and motors, not to mention you get wet and dirty when riding.
Can you ride an electric skateboard normally on the sidewalk?
Always obey and check the local road rules and other applicable laws in your area for where you can ride. Don't ride on busy roads with line markings as this is dangerous to yourself and other road users. Electric skateboards for commuting are the newest addition to the personal transportation classification, and the laws are different in each country. Check the regulations in your area!
Can you ride an electric skateboard normally on any terrain?
Off-road electric skateboards and all-terrain tires are a big part of the reason Evolve skateboards are so popular. Asphalt, concrete, grass, gravel, dirt tracks, BMX tracks, bumps, mounds, berms, you can ride an Evolve electric skateboard anywhere.
We recommend checking which wheel you will use in each terrain. Evolve boards are the only brand in the market that offers a street conversion kit and all terrain conversion kit, so you can have the best of both worlds!
