What Are the Main Components of an Evolve Skateboard?Updated a month ago
Every Evolve electric skateboard is built with a combination of high-performance parts designed to work together seamlessly. While different models may have variations in design and materials, most boards share these essential components:
1. Deck
- The base of your board, providing structure and support.
- Available in carbon fibre (for strength and aerodynamics) or bamboo (for flex and comfort).
2. Battery (with BMS)
- Powers the board and determines range.
- Includes a Battery Management System (BMS) to regulate performance and safety.
3. Motor Controller (ESC)
- The “brain” of the board, controlling power delivery to the motors.
- Interprets remote inputs for acceleration, braking, and speed control.
4. Motors
- Most boards have dual brushless outrunner motors mounted on the rear.
- Different power outputs depending on the board model.
5. Trucks (Double Kingpin)
- Connect the wheels to the deck and allow for turning and carving.
- Double kingpin trucks offer deeper carving and provide stability.
6. Wheels (Street or All-Terrain)
- Street wheels (e.g., 85mm, 97mm, 105mm, 107mm) for smooth pavement and high-speed carving.
- All-Terrain (AT) tyres (e.g., 150mm, 175mm) for off-road and rougher surfaces.
7. Belts & Drive Gears
- The belt drive system transfers power from the motors to the wheels.
- Gears and belts vary based on wheel size and terrain preference.
8. Bushings
- Soft urethane components inside the trucks that impact turning and responsiveness.
- Each truck has 2 x barrels and 2 x cone bushings for customisable feel.
