Can you ride on the beach?Updated 25 days ago

Evolve boards are built for adventure—gravel, grass, dirt? Absolutely. But when it comes to beach riding, there are some important things to consider.


The Risks of Riding on the Beach

While it might look fun, sand and saltwater can cause damage to your board:

Sand in Components – Fine sand can get into the motors, bearings, and drivetrain, leading to premature wear or performance issues.
Saltwater Corrosion – Exposure to salt and moisture can damage metal parts and electronics, which is not covered under warranty.


How to Reduce the Risk

If you’re going to ride on the beach, take precautions:

Stick to Hard Sand – Ride where the sand is packed down to avoid sinking and kicking up excess debris.
✅ Avoid Puddles & Saltwater – Even a small splash can cause corrosion over time.
Clean Your Board Afterwards – Brush off any sand, wipe down your board, and check for grit in moving parts.
Maintain Your Bearings – Sand and moisture can wreck bearings fast. Clean and lubricate them regularly.


Final Verdict

🚀 Yes, you can ride on the beach—but do it carefully.
If you avoid puddles, deep sand, and saltwater, and give your board a proper clean afterwards, you should be fine.
