Riding an Evolve board is all about balance, control, and respecting the power at your fingertips. Whether you're accelerating, braking, or adjusting speed modes, here’s everything you need to know.

How Do I Control the Board?

Your Evolve board is controlled by a handheld Bluetooth remote, which manages acceleration, braking, and speed settings. Turning is just like a traditional longboard—lean into your turns, shifting your weight to carve smoothly.

How Do I Brake?

Braking is handled by the remote trigger:

• Push the trigger forward to slow down.
• At medium to high speeds, braking is firm and safe.
• At low speeds, braking is softer and may not bring you to a complete stop—it’s designed this way for safety and smoother control.

Always give yourself enough space to stop comfortably and get familiar with braking at different speeds.

How Do I Accelerate?

To accelerate, pull the trigger on the remote towards you. The more you pull, the faster the board will go.

• Pull gently to ease into your speed, especially when starting or riding in ECO mode.
• Gradual acceleration helps maintain stability and prevents sudden jolts.
• In higher-speed modes (SPORT, PRO, GTR, CORSA), acceleration is much stronger—be prepared for a powerful launch.

Always start in a low stance with bent knees to stay balanced as you speed up. Smooth control is key to a safe and enjoyable ride.

How Do the Speed Modes Work?

Evolve boards come with four speed modes, allowing you to adjust performance based on your riding style and experience.

GTR Series (Older Models)

• ECO Mode – 40% power, reduced top speed, great for beginners and conserving battery.
• PRO Mode – 60% power, a balance of speed and efficiency, perfect for cruising.
• GTR Mode – 100% power, full acceleration and torque for experienced riders.
• CUST Mode – Customisable power settings via the Evolve app to fine-tune your ride.

Newer Models (Diablo, Renegade, Stoke X, Hadean, etc.)

• ECO Mode – Smooth, energy-efficient, and ideal for learning.
• SPORT Mode – Faster acceleration and higher top speeds while maintaining control.
• CORSA Mode – Maximum performance and torque for experienced riders.
• CUST Mode – Fully adjustable power curves via the Evolve app.

🚨 Warning: SPORT, PRO, GTR, CORSA, and CUST modes unlock serious power. If you’re new to electric skateboarding, start with ECO Mode and work your way up. High-performance settings demand skill and respect—they can get you into trouble if you’re not prepared.

Final Tips

• Start slow – Learn the board’s response before going full speed.
• Respect the brakes – Test how the board stops at different speeds.
• Choose the right mode – Power settings matter. Don’t jump straight into high performance if you’re not ready.

Once you get the hang of it, riding an Evolve board is one of the best experiences on wheels. Stay safe, ride smart, and enjoy the ride.
