Evolve Carbon GT
The Evolve Carbon GT is a unique model in the e-skate industry. This was one of the first electric skateboards with a carbon deck. This not only looks great but is also functional. All components are incorporated in the deck itself and are therefore not in a cover under the electric skateboard as with the Bamboo models. This model, like the other Evolve models, also has 2 engines which deliver together 3000 watts and give a top speed of 42km/h. The battery capacity of this model is equal to that of the Bamboo GTX.
