The Bamboo GTR is inspired by the build quality, performance and superior comforts of a 1970’s muscle car. No expense has been spared to create a ride experience like no other.

At Evolve Skateboards we design and manufacture top-shelf premium electric skateboards. We are passionate about creating the best performing carving machines that embody both the future of personal transport and the endless wave lifestyle.

The Ride 

If you’ve skated before you’ll appreciate the pop in this deck thanks to our new relationship with one of the most premium deck manufactures in the skateboard world. The GTR deck is constructed of bamboo with the addition of fibreglass which puts you in the goldilocks zone for flex and strength. Adjust the drop through truck position to make them closer or further apart to dial in your ride and enjoy the low profile feel, just the way you like it. Whether you’re into short and sharp or long and deep carving our bamboo deck has a classic longboard vibe and will give you a softer feeling under foot.  But don’t let that fool you, coupled with our street wheels this board is like a cheetah unleashed. Super fast, gripy and smooth, the Bamboo GTR Street is responsive yet nimble and it likes to eat hills for breakfast. Corners will turn into apexes, open stretched into runways, and wide open paths will make your list of favourite powder runs!

Optional Extras

The Evolve Bamboo GTR Street offers even more flexibility for the riding enthusiast than ever before with 2 power USB ports and a new airline friendly swappable battery option for those who want to take their Evolve boards with them when travelling. Now you can also track and share your rides and compete against the worldwide community on the new Explore by Evolve app, along with over the air updates for IOS and Android phones. Unlike other boards on the market, the Bamboo GTR Street is compatible with our All Terrain Kit which completely changes the feeling by opening up a world of new paths for you to explore. 

The Remote

The Evolve Bamboo GTR Street offers more riding modes than ever before allowing riders of any level to safely enjoy the product and have the ability to adjust your riding mode while riding to suit conditions and maximize efficiency.  Use ‘ECO’ mode for easy control and safe top speed, perfect for beginners and those ridings wanting a relaxed ride with the longest ride times.  Use ‘PRO’ mode to whizz past traffic and turn your commute into your daily adrenaline rush hour, and if you dare, switch to GTR mode to unleash insane power and acceleration with the ability to climb hills of up to 30% gradient.  For those that want a power curve that is different to ECO/PRO/GTR modes, select CUST (custom) mode on the remote, then open up the Explore by Evolve App and dial in the power curve to suit your riding style.  In this mode, you can adjust the power to be weaker or even stronger than the stock speed mode settings that come with the R2 remote.
