Hells fucking no. Unless you’re a RUclips influencer and get this board for free, there should be no reason why you’re even reviewing this. Unless your viewers are all rich.
@@ssslade7052 Ive ridden the GTR for years and this summer got to test the Hadean... Im getting that shit! The range is insane but the acceleration is just ludicrous.. absolutley bananas on the 97mm street setup... even though the GTR already felt insane.. this thing is like beyond crazy. Very fun board to drive on.
@@Bearforceone I dont see why unless I want to go AT wheels finally and then 50kmh is slowish yes. But Hadean offers pretty much everything you want and has the best remote out of everyone by far, the user experience is nr1. I get if u ride AT then its not as fast but for street setup 40kmh is sketchy as hell and you get to 40kmh in like 1-2 seconds on the Hadean which is insane fun.
The reason you haven't had to re-calibrate other remotes, is because other remotes re-calibrate themselves EVERY TIME YOU TURN THEM ON! If you hold the control-wheel off-center while you turn a remote on, it will actually tell you to let go. This is because it needs to re-detect center on power-up to make sure acceleration and braking always works correctly. That the evolve remotes don't work this way, and have to be calibrated manually, is beyond me.
Love hearing your insight! As a DIYer, it blew my mind to learn that Evolve boards before the Hadean used a square wave input to drive the motors (BLDC mode). Like, what?!?? Not what I expected from such a big electric skateboard maker.
Same here for sure. I’m also a DIY guy and I can’t believe that evolve hasn’t been using FOC. Hobbywing ESCs are FOC capable and are dirt cheap. You can buy a hub motor hobbywing ESC from ownboard WITH a remote included for $29. I have no idea why evolve would shoot themselves in the foot by not using a sine wave ESC.
@BigFatCone Yup. Single focbox was the first vesc 4 based esc that could do FOC reliably, and basically every vesc based esc since then (definitely vesc 6 based ones) handle it perfectly. BLDC is loud, and braking can catch you off guard. 99% of people use FOC these days.
@BigFatCone Yeah FOC has become the de facto standard these days. I will say though that I have tried out a couple evolves before and I never would’ve guessed they were running on BLDC mode. It’s a tad jerky, but in lower speed modes it really doesn’t feel like BLDC at all. Still have no clue why evolve didn’t switch to FOC earlier though.
Everything you outlined is great and 100%. Thanks for sharing. Why did Evolve over price this board? It may be a move to get people talking, but that strategy might not work out in their favor.
The MIL-STD-810G drop test tests the resistance to shock of electrical equipment on surfaces. In total, 26 drops from about 4 feet (phones, laptops) are necessary to perform the complete drop test.
Your video was instrumental in my refusing delivery of my ordered Hadean Carbon, and using the money instead towards the Endeavor Pro (of which your video also did well to convince me)! Keep up the great work steering folks in the right direction! :)
"woow, foc, just like hobbywing" "sign wave, wow, just like pretty much every other motor controller." LMAO diy had foc like forever now. pretty sad chinaboards had foc before this premium company. smoking motors tell me they r going to overheat like last 2 gens. now imagine all the fan boys saying they have foc when everyone else had it for a long time...
Hey Dave when you have a free moment...would you name what you believe is better...It helps us defy the urge to purchase overpriced boards And that is what EVOLVE is banking on...You may be able to educate & save us $.
@@boneheadnumber1409 unfortunately I had to move back from new Zealand to UK, so cancelled my order last moment, but I'll be still getting one at some ne point
40T in the demo units, probably Lishen cells in the production units, all the hadeans I’ve tried out in the wild sag bad after like 70% to where you might as well have bought a gtr bc it’s hardly anymore powerful than that
@@MaVeRiCk77 Fair enough ..U speak firmly...like a little (what vs proof do you offer?) im...if have it? A righteous maker of that remark should be helping us to get closer to the truth whatever it may be. I don't sweat either brands as they are kinda strong & weak in various department(s)... Better than the Atlas?...hmmm🤔 $890 dollar (approx.) price difference.
@@kieras255 Yeah...I own 2 X1 Pro Riots..I beat em up & run them all day 365 days a year...they perform well & never gave me problems other than expected...The 🔋 is not ideal...However they sell a really good fast charger. The only way for us to do better is diy one to our liking...otherwise all the other board makers are gaming us with under powered esc's & batteries so we keep coming back. Sooner or later one of two things will happen...DIY gets way less expensive or the big name companies that survive do the right thing & make a board that strong and fairly priced...until then keep your old board & clean it up...fix & upgrade what you can & should. Chances are you knew this already. Note: I made a basic board from 3 leftover boards parts...I runs decently...carves good but needs alittle little more work on the rear suspension control & comfort. (That's where a Exway really shows it's excellence in performance and handling...) first generation Hobbywing ESC -12 miles range runs 24 mph...30° inclines no problem on a WOWGO 2S HUB drive all other components bushings bearings etc have been purchased on sale on eBay...or FB MARKET PLACE. It runs...its not top shelf...it take 2 hours to charge... If you got 3 thousand to spare then buy what you like...if your not holding big money...build a basic commuter board...You will be running while the high priced boards are waiting for parts😒😬😜.
@@maxdagosti94 Agreed upon...That remote really looks durable...In the end who knows for sure?...All boards kinda have issues of one kind our another...budget or high end need adjustments from time to time. Buy whatsoever pleases you...money permitting this is the most fun a human can have on land...(in the sport or hobby department😝)
I've seen heaps of people have issues with other remotes, quite predominantly recently the Puck remote, including needing calibration.. any info on when Atlas will be shipped? they seem to be playing the same old Exway game of delay after delay. I heard on the vine there were issues with them trying to change to 21700 from the 18650 set up. I've been looking to order but holding off til i confirm this and see boards actually going out.
@@maxdagosti94 I don't understand what you're trying to promote? I'm not talking about evolve, I don't care. But I will say the video makes you look like an uneducated troll. Posting random images of issues with old product and relating to brand new equipment. Could do exactly the same with absolutely any brand. It's not informative, it's not relevant. But okay. I also don't get why you used it as a reply. You seem to have a big bee in your bonnet against evolve. I'm not even talking about evolve so I don't know why you posted it to me. I don't care.
Purely down to the company ethics and what I perceive (perception based on Evolve's own content) to be the arrogance of the employees, I would never buy an Evolve product. It's a shame, as I quite like the Hadean.
The other advantage of a chassis is it makes it harder for people to upgrade down the line. Can't easily put any other motor controller in there, who knows how the plastic and fibreglass will wear. Stops evolve customers DIY'ing their decks because they're not decks anymore they're a chassis and plastic. One interesting thing is those air vents seem to be purely aesthetics as the bamboo varient has no air vents lol. So it just runs hotter or they're just for show on the carbon? If they've addressed the issues that plagued their previous motor controllers then this board would be sound at the right price point. This board should of been the GTR .. you pay 3k for this thing and next year it's going to be years behind in the industry. Wrong price and wrong year.
the thing is whatever evolve comes up with there'll be people smart enough to make their way to put a proper ESC (VESC obviously) and get rid of their idiotic bms just to make their board usable again after it dies, cause it's crap. even gen 1 carbon got modified so hard evolve can only learn, but hey, it's premium price, so it's got premium service, right? lol, not after guarantee expires, just buy a new, better one. i just hate them so much for trying to be (bad) Apple in this business. it's ridiculous how they brainwash their customers. over 3000 dollars for a board this outdated is a pure joke.
Hello Daniel. Thanks for the review, now I want to buy a board with street wheels that do all that this board does for less price. Does it exist? Cause I haven’t found any. Seems like most of the high end brand only worry about the off road tires. Looking forward to the feedback
I live in Ireland, so I feel like buying belts is going to be expensive. Debating whether to get the zealot or g3 as a 230lbs rider and worried about replacing belts. I was just wondering if 1) if new belts were expensive (including shipping) 2) why I can’t find them on backfires website and 3) how often would they need to be replaced? Also I live in Ireland, it rains 6 months of the year here and snows for 1 month. Should I also consider the exway flex riot as it has the battery storage feature where it protects the battery when not in use for a while as I won’t be riding for half the year?
Belts are cheap and offer better torque. I would go with belt boards. Replacement belts are cheap and available most everywhere. 1. I buy belts and accessories on Amazon and or outside retailers not the manufacturer. I have over 1200miles on my Evolve switched belts once. My Zelaot S shipped woth an extra set of belts. Do NOT go with Exway Flex, backfire has it beat woth range
14:50 Does that surprise you? Previously they contracted to make their decks in China and there was a Chinese knockoff of their board on the market before they were even done developing their new remote. So I think it may be time people woke up to what China is doing as far as intellectual property theft. Sure, as you say, it leads to boards that are "comparable" at half the price... but what about the components? I've yet to test a Chinese cell that actually matched what was written on the case. China... needs to get it's shit together and start actually playing by the rules of international commerce. So yeah.. it shouldn't be any surprise to you that they don't ship to China. China... owes them a lot of money... and an apology. My gut tells me that these new boards are made in Australia or some other country that actually honors intellectual property. But I haven't looked into it. It would explain the price hike.
How to compare the hadean to the meepo hurricane? The hurricane seems to be the better choice for me, bigger battery, bigger motors, half the price. What do you think?
Great critical review from someone who is incredibly knowledgeable and understands the importance of the board being affordable to the everyday consumer.
Have you got a link to your Skate Board manufacturing company and your latest boards? It sounds like you’ve got all the answers. I can’t wait to see the board you’ve designed. I’m assuming it’s a game changer in every respect.
fyi they most likely drop the remote 26 times at different angles from 1.2 meters, as this is described in mil810* testing procedures. panasonic toughbooks and other rugged electronics also do this. evolve does not mention compliance with mil810* standard, which is probably a bad sign, as in the remote most likely not beeing rugged enough in other areas (humidity,salt fog,temperature,water,...) to actually market it this way.
Evolve appeals to people too afraid to buy direct from China. These people are so insulated from learning about what's available from Chinese companies, they think evolve is leading the pack in tech, when they are in fact trailing by 3 years.
What’re your thoughts on Exway’s battery scandal? Would you still recommend investing in their company after this and what do you want to think Exway should really do to address the issue?
I was considering getting a Hadaen until in saw the price. I have been looking for a second board and i live in Queensland Australia. My first is a GTR. At about 130kg I have been rather brutal as my commute involves some decent hills. So i am interested in what i should be looking at instead. I enjoyed your break down and am interested on your thoughts. Also I will be subscribing.
Also interested in alternatives with a higher maximum weight. From memory, atlas was 100kg. I'm at 120kg and looking for my first board. May go down the diy route.
@@lukedudgeon8699 So i struggled with that as well before i got my first board, eventually I called Evolve and asked them about it. Bear in mind that is what Evolve told me and I can not speak for other brands. So the GTR has a 100kg weight limit but that is a performance limit. This is basically them avoiding being sued for false advertising. The limit is the the weight where you can reach their top speed and range. The GTR with AT wheels is meant to get (from memory) 37km/h and 30km range. I cruise at about 33km/h and my range best range is about 25km. So i figure most boards can take a lot of weight but the businesses just need to put a limit on to protect them self. Also i did get some warranty work done, I came into the store to get it done and they never asked about my weight for it. Maybe they would if you snapped a truck or the deck.
@@lukedudgeon8699 well I have the GTR bamboo. I commute to work on it every day. I ride to the gym and shopping. It is not unsual for me to run the battery down, come home recharge and run it down again. I live in an area with quite steep hills. And at 130 - 140kg, depending on backpacks and steal cap boots etc, it still just goes. On the big hills it slows to 27km/h. I have had it for a year. The deck shows no sign of fatiguing. I thrash it. I am basically seeing how quickly i can burn the motors out. The belts seem to be holding out. The AT tires need to get swapped out every 4-6 months as they lose tread. My goal was 2years with this board because thats about how long i calculated the cost to bring me out ahead of the cost of driving my car. I did wear out a bearing in a motor, but that appeared to be because dirt got in somehow. Most likely moisture. Not sure. If you are 120km, my personal experance would suggests that the GTR Bamboo will not struggle with your weight.
@@lukedudgeon8699 if you're looking at a high performance (1k+ board) you should just go diy, all of these pre made boards have good parts but there's brands out there making better diy parts
Hello. Thank you for the good content) I ask you to give good advice, I weigh 110kg, which electric skateboard (longboard) will really suit me? Thanks.
@@DanielKwan It is not the budget that is more important, since this is a one-time purchase and for a long time, but the real range of travel, so that at least 25 km and so that there is no sagging of the board with my weight.
@@BIB87 If budget is no issue, look into Lacroix, Kaly, Trampa, Bioboards, Metroboard, etc., or build your own. I will be building my own later this month or next month.
they use less in carbon deck than other boards.. thats why.. it doesnt save space, it saves them cash, and it costs 1k more than other boards, has smaler battery pack, same engines and same vesc.. sooo yeah..
Where did you get the information on the motors? I've been in contact with a few places and it have been informed this isn't the case. looking at the video, they have the whole length of the battery really compact. I guess if you were to have that battery case inside an enclosed deck it would have made it a fair bit bigger. it's also the same length as the GTR by the looks, which is cool
Dan let me start off by saying that I love your vids and they are super fun and informative at the same time. I mm looking to buy an electric skateboard for the first time and have 0 skating experience. I’m also 115 kgs and was looking at the exway flex riot and the backfire zealot s. I really like the deck on the exway cuz of their look. But the wheels on the backfire are much bigger and the deck is flexier so it’s more safe and comfortable. Will the smaller wheels on the exway flex make it less comfortable/ safe for a noob like me? Also I live in a place with lots of bumps and cracks
Evolve boards are pricey but they have dealers in many countries and very good and fast support. I bought a GTR Bamboo month ago and it’s totally ok for me. I like it’s very flexy deck. I wonder if Hadean bamboo is as flexy as GTR… But selling GTR for Hadean is no-no since terrain is mostly flat in city I live
@@Ian1329 to be honest bud, no skateboard should need to go 50kmh. The people that ride these speeds already know its only a matter of time before they are in the hospital ward.
Hey Daniel. What to do about a dead remote battery? Kinda tricky of Meepo to solder a commonly used battery to the PC board. I refuse to pay $60 for a remote when I can replace a 3.7v 300mAh LiPo battery for 10 bucks. I'm gonna try to do it myself. Your thoughts? Edit- just to clarify , my Meepo Mini 2 ER has 1600 miles on it. Ok then.
The remote would never be dropped on plywood in a real world scenario, so this was silly. Should of been concrete ( not asphalt since thats softer ). Also, the precise number ? lol...
@@LORFCASTER they ran it over with a truck and threw it 25 feet on to asphalt. also they did take away the plywood and dropped it a few times. did you even pay attention?
Savage video , finally an honest person telling the truth about the gtr , my own board beats gtr for half the price and nobody is talking about it except you. Thanks
The Evolve shop in london used to be out in Dartford, now it’s in the newly trendy Stratford Olympic park area I guess people living and visiting there just have much more disposable income, so you buying effectively 2 boards (warranty) for the price! I do like the Haeden board but now that I can build my own I would rather just do that.
I have an Evolve GTX which does everything I need. Board is still fun when I take out on rides. Finally my Zealot S arrived after 2 months (issues with ordering from companies like Exway and Backfire is the shipping times) and while I enjoy the ride of my Zealot S; I liked my Evolve came within the week I ordered it. Hadean is priced too high for me to stay with Evolve I rather put that amount of money to a Kalyboard
a huge disappointment, 2021 dxw6368 with 12s4p 40T(mostlikely). And for 2800? Evolve did evolving backwards for sure lmfao. Let's hope Fred won't come after me on YT this time lol.
The evolution for any real E-board rider goes like this, 2018 Boosted V2, 2019 Evolve GTR, 2020 KALY/Lacroix. There's no going backwards only looking backwards at guys 10 blocks behind me struggling to keep up when ever I host a group ride still riding slow ass boards with pathetic range!😂
Almost, I went from a GTX to a Boosted V2 and now a Kaly XL50 (with a few others in between) ... and I have kept the Boosted V2, it is still the nicest board I have ever ridden.
*Dear Daniel, Please tell us the best all terrain travel board that is allowed on airplanes. It will help me cook and feed more families in third world countries and transport the food to them faster especially in villages with little to no roads and you have to walk a lot. I was wondering what the cheapest one is. I bought one for $420 like 5 years ago but it broke down and only worked on streets in the US but feeding the poor here isn't one penny per snack or 8 cents for a full meal like in third world countries where you can feed thousands with less than $100. I was hoping you can find the cheapest, hopefully around $500 and also one thats good for the price hopefully under $1,000. 10+ miles of range 18+mph. Most airplanes dont allow more than 160W :(* And i would love to see you make a DiY one. Maybe one that goes 50-100 miles of range at 30-50mmph. A board that is more elevated so it can hold an enormous battery. Maybe you can build an affordable one to sell around $500 that I can buy lol and travel with. im hoping the yecoo gts 6.6Ah is legal on airplane its $620. but i cant fell.
Makes zero fucking sense. I can get a really good honda cb 750 for that money, Imagine making an electric skateboard that costs more than a lot of decent used motorcycles
@@jacobarnard7035 I really want a onewheel, but geez. That price tag is way too high for its speed and distance. MY TRX IS COMING TOMORROW, I'm real excited. Hopefully its as good as they say
@@jacobarnard7035 ITS INSANE. such a fast board, and u can feel the power in it. Also has an extremely smooth feel to it. I'm really happy about my purchase, thinking about buying an XR next, but the battery life is definitely making me think twice
Say what you want about evolve but there customerservice and shipping is spot on. This is coming from someone that’s owned around 30 different electric skateboards in the last nine years . So I’ve dealt with most brands out there from high-quality to mid quality . Evolves our sharp looking and very good carving machines . I’d say their reliability is around the same as most big electric skateboard manufacturers . the difference that sets them apart is there shipping speed .when something goes wrong,It’s very fast..At least in the US. this is why I’ve continuously bought their boards over the years. Though I will 100% admit their pricing is on the high side and I usually find used boards to buy versus paying full retail . Ps I only payed 1200 used for my Haydean. Atlas Pro 1100 for a 4wd
I asked Evolve during the premiere of the video about the speed at which the tests were conducted, here is their answer: "Average 22kph on the calm, average 35-45 on the hill one." btw. it's too expensive. I like new bamboo deck shape, but.. I mean, for the cost of one hadean you can buy exway atlas + verreal rs.
Me neither bro. It is way too much for minor improvements. I appreciate your opinion Dan. Boards aren't bad by virtue of being "Chinese" and boards aren't good by virtue if being "Not Chinese". I'm sure this board will be a fine product. It's just not worth as much as a used car IMO.
I have been on a wowgo 2 s for more than 3 years and it absolutely dumpsters hills and goes really fast. Never fails on me. Probably could ride it for another 3 but thinking of selling it and going over seas for a trip. If I do buy a new board I'm looking at Onsra. I really like Fabian and his board looks like it's great quality. He has "local" repair guys in the USA. But wowgo at looks killer for the price also. My brother has a wowgo3 and it is also a great board.
If I hadn’t just bought the GTR a year ago, I would. I understand all the frustration with the pricing but since I’m NOT a manufacturer… I really can’t have an opinion on that. All I know is that when I wanted a electric skateboard, only 1 company had one available within days of me wanting it. I don’t know if that plays into the pricing, but what good a great affordable board that will come to me in months? If you can wait, great. If you have the money and don’t want to, Evolve will get you carving up the street in days.
I was thinking the same as you about the price and I was thinking on getting one but at almost 3k for a carbon it is too much. I live in NYC in East Harlem I’d rather just get a NYC Kaly board I’d get more for my money and also their shop it’s only a 15 minutes ride from house and Ernesto -the owner- he is a cool guy met him once at Randall’s island, he is always testing his boards there
Review is spot on too many boards out there with similar specs that are way more affordable. I agree with DK, with $3000 I can build a monster DIY or get a KALY NYC.
I don't understand why, in this review, you spend so much time bashing Evolve's old technologies/design and their delivery of information when they are releasing an upgraded electric skateboard. It seems you praise improvements of other board manufacturers without bashing their old tech anywhere near as much. For example: you spent time detailing the flaws of their remote for the older GTR. Isn't it more inline for you to test the board and give your personal opinion of the new board's performance?
He is still butt hurt over the fake comparison-video of Evolve and the "China board" comments it seems... Anyways... Exway will come out with a decent Hadean-copy next year, at lower price and it will the best board on the planet....according to Daniel
@@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco tbh, the only thing Exway needs to do to "beat" Hadean is shove a bigger battery, I'm assuming the 850wh from Eovan will do just nicely. Evolve screwed up with this board, should have at least included something else like integrated headlights.
@@Saltinator this is a $3K board, other boards from lacroix, bajaboard, and ecomobl all have integrated lights at the $3K range, at $k you need to offer an exceptional product because other boards in this price range have an insane feature set
It was their remote that pissed me off. How is it possible that they made one of the world's best out of the box boards and then coupled it with the industry's worst remote? Unreal.
@@twelvewingproductions7508 in many ways it is an awesome and innovative remote, they just have a few issues that need fixing. Unfortunately, these issues can be quite dangerous...not sure why they went all blingy and flashy before getting the basics down. And the build quality of both board and remote leave a lot to be desired. The hardware is soft as fuck. The charge port flap is annoying, how hard would it be to have a screw on one? The motors are shite. The esc is shite. A plastic heatsink? Really?
@@solomonjenkins9505 Plastic heat sink? On the new one you mean? Mine is aluminum on the early example of the Carbon GT I have. I haven't encountered build quality issues as of yet, but I've seen others where the board de-laminates. The rubber flap cover for the charge port was silly as you pointed out. There are also additional niggles but my main gripe has been with the remote. Even their reworked remote was terrible. Going with a smaller battery? Seriously? And a rounded screen so that now no matter how you hold it you have glare? Just silly choices. And then yes, as you pointed out... the way it did its handshake with the ESC was dangerous. I am actually still using the first generation remote with that board for those very reasons. The "upgraded" remote is actually too dangerous to even use as a back up. I still carry it.. but should I ever have to use it as a back up... I'd not use it to go any faster than 8 miles an hour to get me back to my car or home. I do see that they seem to have fixed the remote on their new board. Perhaps I'll get one of those and do a full on comparison review between the two boards. The focus for my channel and my reviews is on electric mobility... not so much e-skate specifically.
2800usd!!! Wtf, compare to scooters like the vsett10 or vsett 11 cheaper with 28ah battery!!! Suspensions, hydraulic disk brake, 10inch hub motors, all this techs cheaper than the evolve rapes
This type of board is still spec’ed like a hot hatch. You pay a bit more because of brand value and in the western countries actually able to get service and warrenty.
Hadean is an awesome board, all you haters need to take one for a ride so you can understand what the deal is, also customer service is the best you are going to get, Period.
If your question is authentic I think I can help you Daniel. 1. The Evolve Hadean beats the Exway Atlas in all areas with margin and there is a Bamboo version. 2 Employing staff outside of China for assembly, service and support (not just at best answering emails) cost money. 3. If the guys who invented Boosted and Evolve creating this type of boards a long time ago there would not be an Exway Flex nor and Exway Atlas (and you would not have this job). Perhaps you can cloak you bias a bit better in the future. You seem miserable..
Exactly! , it's getting sort of pathetic...he hates Evolve, but in literally every video he is talking about them...must be hard to know you have to talk about Evolve to get decent view amounts
how much did evolve pay you for this post? Yes, I sure hope the hadean can exceed atlas considering its double the price of the 2wd. but then the eovan seems like it would mop the floor and its $1,000 cheaper than hadean
@@JasonC683 fair enough. If you only compare price and specs there will indeed be better alternatives . A nissan gtr will keep up with a bugatti on a drag race at a tenth of the price, a porsche 911 will smoke the gtr at half it's cost.

@@johnglover4318 Yes i know! They lay the ground for sure. But now they are not state of the art anymore... The Bamboo looks like the one from Eovan, the battery (12S4p 21700) same like Eovan, Motors have pretty much the same size and watt like Eovan.
@@davidsandfort7735, all boards just use pretty much the same components.

Love hearing your insight! As a DIYer, it blew my mind to learn that Evolve boards before the Hadean used a square wave input to drive the motors (BLDC mode). Like, what?!?? Not what I expected from such a big electric skateboard maker.
Same here for sure. I’m also a DIY guy and I can’t believe that evolve hasn’t been using FOC. Hobbywing ESCs are FOC capable and are dirt cheap. You can buy a hub motor hobbywing ESC from ownboard WITH a remote included for $29. I have no idea why evolve would shoot themselves in the foot by not using a sine wave ESC.
@BigFatCone Yup. Single focbox was the first vesc 4 based esc that could do FOC reliably, and basically every vesc based esc since then (definitely vesc 6 based ones) handle it perfectly. BLDC is loud, and braking can catch you off guard. 99% of people use FOC these days.
@BigFatCone Yeah FOC has become the de facto standard these days. I will say though that I have tried out a couple evolves before and I never would’ve guessed they were running on BLDC mode. It’s a tad jerky, but in lower speed modes it really doesn’t feel like BLDC at all. Still have no clue why evolve didn’t switch to FOC earlier though.
I guess it means that there is no real difference in practical application like esk8 between FOC and BLDC :D
Pretty sure it's trapezoidal not square and technically it's not a bldc anymore its a PMSM or permanent magnet synchronous motor.
Everything you outlined is great and 100%. Thanks for sharing.
Why did Evolve over price this board? It may be a move to get people talking, but that strategy might not work out in their favor.
The MIL-STD-810G drop test tests the resistance to shock of electrical equipment on surfaces. In total, 26 drops from about 4 feet (phones, laptops) are necessary to perform the complete drop test.
Thank you
@@DanielKwan I like the electrical motorbikes from China much cooler
Your video was instrumental in my refusing delivery of my ordered Hadean Carbon, and using the money instead towards the Endeavor Pro (of which your video also did well to convince me)! Keep up the great work steering folks in the right direction! :)
At $3k, may as well go with a Trampa and get 6376 motors with gear drives... Easily leave the Hadean behind like a relic of the past lol
"woow, foc, just like hobbywing" "sign wave, wow, just like pretty much every other motor controller." LMAO diy had foc like forever now. pretty sad chinaboards had foc before this premium company. smoking motors tell me they r going to overheat like last 2 gens. now imagine all the fan boys saying they have foc when everyone else had it for a long time...
IIt sounds like a POS for the price as the original evolves aren’t that good anyway compared to other products way less of a price
Hey Dave when you have a free moment...would you name what you believe is better...It helps us defy the urge to purchase overpriced boards

40T in the demo units, probably Lishen cells in the production units, all the hadeans I’ve tried out in the wild sag bad after like 70% to where you might as well have bought a gtr bc it’s hardly anymore powerful than that

Better than the Atlas?...hmmm🤔 $890 dollar (approx.) price difference.
Exway all day..
@@kieras255 Yeah...I own 2 X1 Pro Riots..I beat em up & run them all day 365 days a year...they perform well & never gave me problems
other than expected...The 🔋 is not ideal...However they sell a really good fast charger. The only way for us to do better is diy one to our liking...otherwise all the other board makers are gaming us with under powered esc's & batteries so we keep coming back. Sooner or later one of two things will happen...DIY gets way less expensive or the big name companies that survive do the right thing & make a board that strong and fairly priced...until then keep your old board & clean it up...fix & upgrade what you can & should.
Chances are you knew this already.
Note: I made a basic board from 3 leftover boards parts...I runs decently...carves good but needs alittle little more work on the rear suspension control & comfort.
(That's where a Exway really shows it's excellence in performance and handling...)
first generation Hobbywing ESC -12 miles range runs 24 mph...30° inclines no problem on a WOWGO 2S HUB drive all other components bushings bearings etc have been purchased on sale on eBay...or FB MARKET PLACE.
It runs...its not top shelf...it take 2 hours to charge...

Honest review of the HADEAN
I've seen heaps of people have issues with other remotes, quite predominantly recently the Puck remote, including needing calibration..
any info on when Atlas will be shipped? they seem to be playing the same old Exway game of delay after delay.
I heard on the vine there were issues with them trying to change to 21700 from the 18650 set up. I've been looking to order but holding off til i confirm this and see boards actually going out.

Posting random images of issues with old product and relating to brand new equipment. Could do exactly the same with absolutely any brand. It's not informative, it's not relevant. But okay.
I also don't get why you used it as a reply. You seem to have a big bee in your bonnet against evolve. I'm not even talking about evolve so I don't know why you posted it to me. I don't care.
@@urbanmenace Max is posting this nonsense on every e-skate channel .... He apparently beyond any reason, thinks it's funny...
Purely down to the company ethics and what I perceive (perception based on Evolve's own content) to be the arrogance of the employees, I would never buy an Evolve product. It's a shame, as I quite like the Hadean.
The other advantage of a chassis is it makes it harder for people to upgrade down the line. Can't easily put any other motor controller in there, who knows how the plastic and fibreglass will wear. Stops evolve customers DIY'ing their decks because they're not decks anymore they're a chassis and plastic. One interesting thing is those air vents seem to be purely aesthetics as the bamboo varient has no air vents lol. So it just runs hotter or they're just for show on the carbon?
If they've addressed the issues that plagued their previous motor controllers then this board would be sound at the right price point. This board should of been the GTR .. you pay 3k for this thing and next year it's going to be years behind in the industry. Wrong price and wrong year.
the thing is whatever evolve comes up with there'll be people smart enough to make their way to put a proper ESC (VESC obviously) and get rid of their idiotic bms just to make their board usable again after it dies, cause it's crap. even gen 1 carbon got modified so hard evolve can only learn, but hey, it's premium price, so it's got premium service, right? lol, not after guarantee expires, just buy a new, better one. i just hate them so much for trying to be (bad) Apple in this business. it's ridiculous how they brainwash their customers. over 3000 dollars for a board this outdated is a pure joke.
Personally, I love double trigger remotes. For that price you can build a banging DIY with at least twice the range and performance

Hello Daniel. Thanks for the review, now I want to buy a board with street wheels that do all that this board does for less price. Does it exist? Cause I haven’t found any. Seems like most of the high end brand only worry about the off road tires. Looking forward to the feedback
I got a Backfire G3 with Cloudwheels. Works well and extremely fun.
I live in Ireland, so I feel like buying belts is going to be expensive. Debating whether to get the zealot or g3 as a 230lbs rider and worried about replacing belts. I was just wondering if 1) if new belts were expensive (including shipping) 2) why I can’t find them on backfires website and 3) how often would they need to be replaced?
Also I live in Ireland, it rains 6 months of the year here and snows for 1 month. Should I also consider the exway flex riot as it has the battery storage feature where it protects the battery when not in use for a while as I won’t be riding for half the year?
Belts are cheap and offer better torque. I would go with belt boards. Replacement belts are cheap and available most everywhere. 1. I buy belts and accessories on Amazon and or outside retailers not the manufacturer. I have over 1200miles on my Evolve switched belts once. My Zelaot S shipped woth an extra set of belts. Do NOT go with Exway Flex, backfire has it beat woth range
@@robm425 I appreciate the advice my friend

Does that surprise you?
Previously they contracted to make their decks in China and there was a Chinese knockoff of their board on the market before they were even done developing their new remote.
So I think it may be time people woke up to what China is doing as far as intellectual property theft.
Sure, as you say, it leads to boards that are "comparable" at half the price... but what about the components?
I've yet to test a Chinese cell that actually matched what was written on the case.
China... needs to get it's shit together and start actually playing by the rules of international commerce.
So yeah.. it shouldn't be any surprise to you that they don't ship to China. China... owes them a lot of money... and an apology.
My gut tells me that these new boards are made in Australia or some other country that actually honors intellectual property. But I haven't looked into it.
It would explain the price hike.
How to compare the hadean to the meepo hurricane? The hurricane seems to be the better choice for me, bigger battery, bigger motors, half the price. What do you think?
100% go with the hurricane
Great critical review from someone who is incredibly knowledgeable and understands the importance of the board being affordable to the everyday consumer.
Have you got a link to your Skate Board manufacturing company and your latest boards? It sounds like you’ve got all the answers. I can’t wait to see the board you’ve designed. I’m assuming it’s a game changer in every respect.
fyi they most likely drop the remote 26 times at different angles from 1.2 meters, as this is described in mil810* testing procedures. panasonic toughbooks and other rugged electronics also do this. evolve does not mention compliance with mil810* standard, which is probably a bad sign, as in the remote most likely not beeing rugged enough in other areas (humidity,salt fog,temperature,water,...) to actually market it this way.
Details like this really need to be noticed and brought up more often
Evolve appeals to people too afraid to buy direct from China. These people are so insulated from learning about what's available from Chinese companies, they think evolve is leading the pack in tech, when they are in fact trailing by 3 years.
Agreed.
Evolve is just an Australian idea. They're manufactured and assembled, aka made in china.

BUY BACKFIRE
I was considering getting a Hadaen until in saw the price. I have been looking for a second board and i live in Queensland Australia. My first is a GTR. At about 130kg I have been rather brutal as my commute involves some decent hills. So i am interested in what i should be looking at instead. I enjoyed your break down and am interested on your thoughts. Also I will be subscribing.
Also interested in alternatives with a higher maximum weight.
From memory, atlas was 100kg.
I'm at 120kg and looking for my first board.
May go down the diy route.
@@lukedudgeon8699 So i struggled with that as well before i got my first board, eventually I called Evolve and asked them about it. Bear in mind that is what Evolve told me and I can not speak for other brands. So the GTR has a 100kg weight limit but that is a performance limit. This is basically them avoiding being sued for false advertising. The limit is the the weight where you can reach their top speed and range. The GTR with AT wheels is meant to get (from memory) 37km/h and 30km range. I cruise at about 33km/h and my range best range is about 25km.
So i figure most boards can take a lot of weight but the businesses just need to put a limit on to protect them self.
Also i did get some warranty work done, I came into the store to get it done and they never asked about my weight for it. Maybe they would if you snapped a truck or the deck.
@@MrBunitj makes some sense.
I was also worried more about deck fatigue, or component limitations.
@@lukedudgeon8699 well I have the GTR bamboo. I commute to work on it every day. I ride to the gym and shopping. It is not unsual for me to run the battery down, come home recharge and run it down again. I live in an area with quite steep hills. And at 130 - 140kg, depending on backpacks and steal cap boots etc, it still just goes. On the big hills it slows to 27km/h. I have had it for a year. The deck shows no sign of fatiguing. I thrash it. I am basically seeing how quickly i can burn the motors out. The belts seem to be holding out. The AT tires need to get swapped out every 4-6 months as they lose tread. My goal was 2years with this board because thats about how long i calculated the cost to bring me out ahead of the cost of driving my car. I did wear out a bearing in a motor, but that appeared to be because dirt got in somehow. Most likely moisture. Not sure. If you are 120km, my personal experance would suggests that the GTR Bamboo will not struggle with your weight.
@@lukedudgeon8699 if you're looking at a high performance (1k+ board) you should just go diy, all of these pre made boards have good parts but there's brands out there making better diy parts
What wheel size is optimal for speed on electric skateboards?
Which skateboard is the best for city riding and just overall riding: "Meepo NLS Pro" or "Backfire G3 Plus"?

Thank you for the good content) I ask you to give good advice, I weigh 110kg, which electric skateboard (longboard) will really suit me?
Thanks.
What’s your budget?
@@DanielKwan It is not the budget that is more important, since this is a one-time purchase and for a long time, but the real range of travel, so that at least 25 km and so that there is no sagging of the board with my weight.
@@BIB87 If budget is no issue, look into Lacroix, Kaly, Trampa, Bioboards, Metroboard, etc., or build your own. I will be building my own later this month or next month.
they use less in carbon deck than other boards.. thats why.. it doesnt save space, it saves them cash, and it costs 1k more than other boards, has smaler battery pack, same engines and same vesc.. sooo yeah..
I hope you go in on Exway like this with the whole battery swap they did to customers that bought boards and waited 2 months to receive them.
Can't wait to see a full report on this !!! Finally we will be freed from the Premium Power joke 😂
Where did you get the information on the motors? I've been in contact with a few places and it have been informed this isn't the case.
looking at the video, they have the whole length of the battery really compact. I guess if you were to have that battery case inside an enclosed deck it would have made it a fair bit bigger.
it's also the same length as the GTR by the looks, which is cool
From e-skate manufacturers in China.

I really like the deck on the exway cuz of their look. But the wheels on the backfire are much bigger and the deck is flexier so it’s more safe and comfortable. Will the smaller wheels on the exway flex make it less comfortable/ safe for a noob like me? Also I live in a place with lots of bumps and cracks

What’s the best e board in your opinion under 2k
*Dear Daniel, Please tell us the best all terrain travel board that is allowed on airplanes. It will help me cook and feed more families in third world countries and transport the food to them faster especially in villages with little to no roads and you have to walk a lot. I was wondering what the cheapest one is. I bought one for $420 like 5 years ago but it broke down and only worked on streets in the US but feeding the poor here isn't one penny per snack or 8 cents for a full meal like in third world countries where you can feed thousands with less than $100. I was hoping you can find the cheapest, hopefully around $500 and also one thats good for the price hopefully under $1,000. 10+ miles of range 18+mph. Most airplanes dont allow more than 160W :(* And i would love to see you make a DiY one. Maybe one that goes 50-100 miles of range at 30-50mmph. A board that is more elevated so it can hold an enormous battery. Maybe you can build an affordable one to sell around $500 that I can buy lol and travel with. im hoping the yecoo gts 6.6Ah is legal on airplane its $620. but i cant fell.

Say what you want about evolve but there customerservice and shipping is spot on.
This is coming from someone that’s owned around 30 different electric skateboards in the last nine years .
So I’ve dealt with most brands out there from high-quality to mid quality .
Evolves our sharp looking and very good carving machines .
I’d say their reliability is around the same as most big electric skateboard manufacturers . the difference that sets them apart is there shipping speed .when something goes wrong,It’s very fast..At least in the US. this is why I’ve continuously bought their boards over the years.
Though I will 100% admit their pricing is on the high side and I usually find used boards to buy versus paying full retail .
Ps I only payed 1200 used for my Haydean.
Atlas Pro 1100 for a 4wd
I think you have a secret man crush on Matty.
Not that waste of hair! 😹
Really enjoyed this one!
I asked Evolve during the premiere of the video about the speed at which the tests were conducted, here is their answer: "Average 22kph on the calm, average 35-45 on the hill one."
btw. it's too expensive. I like new bamboo deck shape, but.. I mean, for the cost of one hadean you can buy exway atlas + verreal rs.

Me neither bro. It is way too much for minor improvements.
I appreciate your opinion Dan.
Boards aren't bad by virtue of being "Chinese" and boards aren't good by virtue if being "Not Chinese". I'm sure this board will be a fine product. It's just not worth as much as a used car IMO.
yeah at least Chinese boards are not overpriced like evolve, i have an exway wave and its very good way better than the evolve stoke
I have been on a wowgo 2 s for more than 3 years and it absolutely dumpsters hills and goes really fast. Never fails on me. Probably could ride it for another 3 but thinking of selling it and going over seas for a trip. If I do buy a new board I'm looking at Onsra. I really like Fabian and his board looks like it's great quality. He has "local" repair guys in the USA. But wowgo at looks killer for the price also. My brother has a wowgo3 and it is also a great board.
ruclips.net/video/NBbi8UsCSJw/видео.html
Dan you the man and you crack me up
If I hadn’t just bought the GTR a year ago, I would. I understand all the frustration with the pricing but since I’m NOT a manufacturer… I really can’t have an opinion on that. All I know is that when I wanted a electric skateboard, only 1 company had one available within days of me wanting it. I don’t know if that plays into the pricing, but what good a great affordable board that will come to me in months? If you can wait, great. If you have the money and don’t want to, Evolve will get you carving up the street in days.
Come on, Daniel! Whenever you’re ready to take off the kid gloves with hadean I’m here for it.
I was thinking the same as you about the price and I was thinking on getting one but at almost 3k for a carbon it is too much. I live in NYC in East Harlem I’d rather just get a NYC Kaly board I’d get more for my money and also their shop it’s only a 15 minutes ride from house and Ernesto -the owner- he is a cool guy met him once at Randall’s island, he is always testing his boards there

A bit harsh on Evolve but pretty much spot on. The bamboo Haden is a Wowgo AT2 for 3 times the price.

Couldn’t agree more ….
My TRX 2.0 has the same battery capacity at 1/2the price! ??

Let’s make a slightly better board than the gtr
and charge a small fortune for it. -evolve
It's substantially better than the GTR
@@MaVeRiCk77 Until the battery sag kicks in, and it kicks in quick
I don't understand why, in this review, you spend so much time bashing Evolve's old technologies/design and their delivery of information when they are releasing an upgraded electric skateboard. It seems you praise improvements of other board manufacturers without bashing their old tech anywhere near as much. For example: you spent time detailing the flaws of their remote for the older GTR. Isn't it more inline for you to test the board and give your personal opinion of the new board's performance?
He is still butt hurt over the fake comparison-video of Evolve and the "China board" comments it seems... Anyways... Exway will come out with a decent Hadean-copy next year, at lower price and it will the best board on the planet....according to Daniel
@@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco tbh, the only thing Exway needs to do to "beat" Hadean is shove a bigger battery, I'm assuming the 850wh from Eovan will do just nicely. Evolve screwed up with this board, should have at least included something else like integrated headlights.
This isn’t a review. Just sharing my thoughts about their video, both the good stuff and the bullshit.
@@JasonC683 Lol why would evolve want to integrate lights on it when EVERYONE would rather want a light up logo on the deck 🤦🏼♂️😄
@@Saltinator this is a $3K board, other boards from lacroix, bajaboard, and ecomobl all have integrated lights at the $3K range, at $k you need to offer an exceptional product because other boards in this price range have an insane feature set
the GTR's acceleration is really good imo it's just the price and build quality that piss me off
It was their remote that pissed me off.
How is it possible that they made one of the world's best out of the box boards and then coupled it with the industry's worst remote?
Unreal.
@@twelvewingproductions7508 in many ways it is an awesome and innovative remote, they just have a few issues that need fixing. Unfortunately, these issues can be quite dangerous...not sure why they went all blingy and flashy before getting the basics down.
And the build quality of both board and remote leave a lot to be desired. The hardware is soft as fuck. The charge port flap is annoying, how hard would it be to have a screw on one? The motors are shite. The esc is shite. A plastic heatsink? Really?
@@solomonjenkins9505 Plastic heat sink? On the new one you mean?
Mine is aluminum on the early example of the Carbon GT I have.
I haven't encountered build quality issues as of yet, but I've seen others where the board de-laminates.
The rubber flap cover for the charge port was silly as you pointed out. There are also additional niggles but my main gripe has been with the remote.
Even their reworked remote was terrible. Going with a smaller battery? Seriously? And a rounded screen so that now no matter how you hold it you have glare? Just silly choices.
And then yes, as you pointed out... the way it did its handshake with the ESC was dangerous. I am actually still using the first generation remote with that board for those very reasons. The "upgraded" remote is actually too dangerous to even use as a back up. I still carry it.. but should I ever have to use it as a back up... I'd not use it to go any faster than 8 miles an hour to get me back to my car or home.
I do see that they seem to have fixed the remote on their new board. Perhaps I'll get one of those and do a full on comparison review between the two boards.
The focus for my channel and my reviews is on electric mobility... not so much e-skate specifically.
2800usd!!! Wtf, compare to scooters like the vsett10 or vsett 11 cheaper with 28ah battery!!! Suspensions, hydraulic disk brake, 10inch hub motors, all this techs cheaper than the evolve rapes
This type of board is still spec’ed like a hot hatch. You pay a bit more because of brand value and in the western countries actually able to get service and warrenty.
Finally someone that's honest...
I can't stand evolve will never buy a board from them after owning a GT with countless problems
Hadean is an awesome board, all you haters need to take one for a ride so you can understand what the deal is, also customer service is the best you are going to get, Period.
"I'm not trying to shit on evolve, ehh maybe a little bit."

If your question is authentic I think I can help you Daniel. 1. The Evolve Hadean beats the Exway Atlas in all areas with margin and there is a Bamboo version. 2 Employing staff outside of China for assembly, service and support (not just at best answering emails) cost money. 3. If the guys who invented Boosted and Evolve creating this type of boards a long time ago there would not be an Exway Flex nor and Exway Atlas (and you would not have this job). Perhaps you can cloak you bias a bit better in the future. You seem miserable..
Exactly! , it's getting sort of pathetic...he hates Evolve, but in literally every video he is talking about them...must be hard to know you have to talk about Evolve to get decent view amounts
how much did evolve pay you for this post? Yes, I sure hope the hadean can exceed atlas considering its double the price of the 2wd. but then the eovan seems like it would mop the floor and its $1,000 cheaper than hadean
@@JasonC683 fair enough. If you only compare price and specs there will indeed be better alternatives . A nissan gtr will keep up with a bugatti on a drag race at a tenth of the price, a porsche 911 will smoke the gtr at half it's cost. Let s hope people will keep on buying different boards for different reasons , we like to choose to our own taste. Bit sad there 's so much ranting going on theses days between fanbases .
Do you like it? Will you buy one?
Anybody in here have one?
I have one in my trolley but haven't clicked buy......due to reviews like this and the £1300 price tag!!
Looks like they just copied the Eovan boards :D
@@johnglover4318 Yes i know! They lay the ground for sure. But now they are not state of the art anymore... The Bamboo looks like the one from Eovan, the battery (12S4p 21700) same like Eovan, Motors have pretty much the same size and watt like Eovan.
@@davidsandfort7735, all boards just use pretty much the same components. You'll find a lot of esk8 company using the same ones. 21700 is just the size of the cells, 12s4p 21700 battery same as Eovan yes, but I doubt it's the same cells, so at the end it's not the same battery. But I get your point, yes they don't come with a lot if innovation in their Hadean. If this board was out 2 years ago yes, but now ..
@@johnglover4318 you're missing the point.
Evolve might have started it, but they've been surpassed by these other companies that make a better/same product for a cheaper price.
As other people, I don't usually LOL while watching RUclips videos. I literally cracked up laughing at "that looks familiar"
