ALL THINGS DIABLO | eSkate Chat

Everyone loves a spec sheet, but there is so much more to any board that numbers on a page. We jump into a chat all about the Diablo and discuss everything from its speed, power & range, to the decision-making process during the research and development of the board.

started in 2020 with the carbon gtr. first board. loved it so much , i bought the entire line up. been riden all models ever since (except the renegade). i agree with jeff, boards needs a BALANCE. cant have a big chunky, super duper powerful board. Unless SOMEHOW batteries get smaller, the diablo is more then enough, perfect amount of range, and the BEST features and polish. Keep killen it guys!!

[@oliverprice657]

You should take the diablo to the same hill that you rode the GT's up to compare how much better and more powerful the board is.

[@jamescalkins6069]

Take a bamboo from each generation and compare them!

[@DaBaker-nz]

I started riding these boards years back when I bought the carbon GT. Since then I have progressed to the GTR bamboo then Hadean bamboo. I had zero doubts when it came to ordering the Diablo bamboo. The customer service is very good. The resale is never a problem. The board improvements over the years have been spot on. I'm a 57 year old adrenaline junkie, all winter I live in the mountains down in Queenstown New Zealand. Every day I snowboard. The rest of the year even though I have plenty of other adrenaline filled sports to keep me occupied, I would crave that snowboard buzz, my kitesurfing/boarding would come close but the weather is not alway cooperating. These boards fulfill that yearning, the carve and pop of the bamboo is so like riding my snowboard, with the added bonus of carving up the steepest hills. I thought the Hadean bamboo was my ultimate board. Evolve I'm sure you've created my next favourite.

[@BigMoney23223]

I got the hadean right when it came out, these boards keep getting better

[@simongreig5644]

Exciting times. I know I will love it.

[@andrewfoskett2527]

Great chat. Cant wait to be riding my Renegade Diablo on some group rides in the Uk. Giving it welly…. 🤙🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@r.s.boggan5593]

love both of my GTR Bamboo boards… now I HAVE TO HAVE the Diablo!😂 at 63 years old I have never had more fun than my evolve boards. for me its more fun than snow boarding or wake boarding.. heck I enjoy it more than my dirt bikes!

[@N1EVOLVE]

The Diablo looks like an absolute rocket looking at the specs 🔥🔥🔥

[@dalfimcrouch1891]

I am sold on the Diablo!!! My first bamboo board will be a Diablo 😎😎😎

[@CoolWatts]

I'm a huge Evolve fan and customer, bought 7 boards since 2016. Have the Hadean Assault, which I absolutely love and will never sell. But gotta be honest. 50S is a terrible choice of cell, for ANY high amp draw application. It's a high capacity cell, not high amp. They'll overheat at anything over 15A continuous, not to mention having huge voltage sag. In a 4P configuration, that means 60A max. The Molicel P45B would've been a much better choice. But if course, they're more expensive. The addition of 2 more layers for the bamboo is welcome and very needed. Every time I ride my Hadean bamboo, I worry about the deck cracking. What is really needed: shredlights powered by the board. Would require a small DC-DC converter. But make use much more convenient. Now before every ride, I need to charge 6 separate things. Not trying to just give you shit, I love Evolve and my boards. But some not great choices have been made with recent products. (BTW, I've built 15 high-powered battery packs, including 2 for my evolve boards and a 29kW Surron pack.)

[@ajplant96]

They’re not using high current draw with these cells, they know they can’t handle it. They wouldn’t get consistently high range from them if they did. It’s the same as marketing the Hadean with a 140a battery output, you could feel it was doing nothing close to that and it was getting much better range than vesc based equivalent boards. It’s just a manufacturer spec, 180a sounds better than half that or lower when marketing a product. I’m sure the motor amps have increased, those can handle 140a together and the esc is supposed to be rated for 200a and those will make a big difference even without that much from the battery.

[@uhjyuff2095]

build a 50s pack for your board and see how you like it

[@DjTommosimmo]

Amazing to see you guys continually pushing the boundaries of eskate and electric vehicles in general. Now I need to upgrade the Hadean.

[@milikdavis9700]

Coming from a bamboo gtr to a diablo renegade! Excited is an understatement!! Love what you guys do

[@showlovespreadlove]

3:30 "balls out, kick you in the ass sort of power" 🤣 I love it

[@DB-hm7mu]

now that the board is very quiet at low speeds... I'd love to see Evolve release a remote capable of making some kind of noise to alert pedestrians (think a bike bell maybe?) You could map the dead man switch button to the noise and it would only make the noise if you press it while on the move.

[@LORFCASTER]

Yes , a dedicated bell ( not a horn ) button would be incredibly helpful

[@jaye6450]

just purchased the all terrain diablo carbon version omg can’t wait, hopefully it can handle 110kgs 😂 letssss goooo

[@andyzbox]

Great video, very exciting! GTR and Hadean were epic already, this sounds seriously next level!! Can’t wait to try it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@FraserNapier]

ordered my Renegade Diablo last week, it's gonna be a loooooooong painful wait to shipping at the end of August 🔥

When I get back to work this goes on my shopping list...

[@ryanalderton7919]

Diablo ticks all the boxes. Can't wait to get one 😁

[@jimmyhendrix7111]

Okay I do have a couple of suggestions for improvement after riding the GTR. I bought the bamboo back in... 2021? And it still runs today. That being said, the connectors. Waterproof twist n click connectors! Mine is used as a little bit of a chill trail ride, and the bumps and wiggles jiggle the connector plug between the motor and esc loose. I do also use the 97 76a wheels because I like sliding when I hit streets but Colorado has a lot of not asphalt trails. I don't care much about acceleration, there's a level where more acceleration becomes unreasonable for casual riding and the gtr setting is already pretty close to it. Top speed 30mph is solid. I've eaten shit at gtr max speed and man did I get torn up. I could use a little more but at some point you have to start stiffening up your trucks and the board loses a bit of versatility. I think if you reach 160km on your range, it's something you can forever put a checkmark in and need no further improvement with unless battery tech makes an insane jump. Compatibility with BLHeli! It would be amazing if you guys allowed interplay between BLHeli and your boards so that custom remotes can be a thing. A sort of pointer finger second knuckle ring for speed control attached to a sort of partial glove with a flexible screen on the back of the hand would be amazing because it resolves the need to store your remote control. Plus you can display maps n stuff without whipping out your phone while going booku fast.

[@spectre_esk8]

Loving the new lineup guys 🔥🙌🔥

[@ODSTMuggin]

The Diablo looks so sick!

[@cezarykorecki7641]

I'm waiting for a super light, lighter version of the GTR S2 - with a 30% smaller battery or a REMOVABLE battery like it used to be in the GTX! It would be great! Anyone else think so? Nobody offers a lightweight 2in1 board!

[@jeromep5383]

Awsome board , im definitely thinking about upgrading. Also i love that you kept the weight down . I have a fast board, but it weighs 43 lbs

[@linus1834]

You guys going to do a demo day somewhere jn SE Queensland anytime soon

[@jamiebryce6091]

Thank you for the words. ( Renegade upgrade support )

[@jamescalkins6069]

Hope to get one soon!

Please drop a green model of the Diablo. I wanted a gremlin. Soooo bad and I still do

[@cezarykorecki7641]

Hey Evolve! Will it be possible to buy only the new trucks separately? theses silver look great!

[@makiculi]

Hallo Jungs nach 2 Jahren Erfahrung mit dem gtr2 sind mir einige Dinge aufgefallen!! 1. Wenn man über eine unruhige Stelle fährt geht der power knopf aus . 2 . Bitte einen kontroller zum sliden bauen (driften) 3. Mega boards Danke und bin auf das diablo Board gespannt

[@marcelallenke26]

You mentioned there was some boards with the 16.8 A/h batteries in them, just curious what one's did they go in? Also is there a way of knowing this?

[@ajplant96]

You can check for the actual cells in your board by opening it up and looking if you’re comfortable (ideally out of warranty) but it’s highly unlikely you’ll be seeing that 0.8Ah increase even if you have p42a cells without them testing the capacity of each individual cell and that would cost them a lot to do. It’s very rare for those cells to actually be over 4000mAh capacity, they’re typically 3950-4050mAh.

[@marcelallenke26]

@@ajplant96 ah ok, thanks for the info mate 🤙

[@wadafup]

I will get this board. Its life or death

[@SkateGibbo]

Sounds like a ligit plane 😍

[@Dan-wo2qb]

Epic board, can you make a Vid with different ways of setting up the Evolve App for the Hadean and Diablo to make the most of the app, I’m sure there are different set ups for different Torque requirements for off road and carving that could be enhanced over the stock settings.

[@juliano.de.oliveira]

Lets go!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jimbo4068]

I was looking at bying Diablo bambo! BUT It’s 700$ more but in EU store So strange to me that it’s not same price for all eskaters? To bad would have been my first Evolve!

[@TheTanelChannel]

Evolve is the leader of eskate in every aspect. I don't understand people complaining. I've had my fare share of problems but Evolve has always tried their best to fix things and so far so good! Like.. oh my god.. Evolve boards don't give you 100-200miles of range.. well yes but it also doesn't look like a tractor and doesn't weigh like a tank. The Carbon boards look great, they are slick and thin and have a suuuper good DECK, I think the best eskate deck there is, that still give a 90-100KG rider 50KM range on streets, now more with Diablo. Great to hold in your hand with that fat curve edge. But the biggest thing to this day and why I haven't moved away from Evolve boards is the REMOTE. Trigger remote is where its at and you cannot change my mind. Evolve has now improved the remote immensely with the Phaze remote. I mean Evolve is doing everything right to get more and more people to love eskate. I think the Diablo is near the peak in terms of performance, the Hadean already is super snappy and fast for street wheels, now Diablo is about 20% faster, snappier.. of course you can adjust the speed modes in the apps and remote so.. hey if I can get to 50km in 1sec via Diablo or whatever is next for Evolve.. why not.. but the Hadean, Diablo series of Evolve boards have to be the best eskate boards on the planet right now.

[@BajiKorvisamo]

I need thicker tires personally, but i envy the electronics. Iv always had wider trucks than evolve im happy they are making it wider

These boards cost more than my car. Good car. Everything works.

[@chloefletcher9612]

"it still needs to be ridable". -- that is the key, right there. So many people have boards that are just accidents waiting to happen or just really unpleasant to ride. I fully credit Evolve for making a board that is ridable by anyone, and allows people to *easily* make changes to the ride, to make the board "yours". "Range, speed and power" might be what people ask for - but if the ride is a twitchy nightmare, none of those matters, because you won't want to get on it, in the first place.

[@tammybuckley9137]

there on the website for sale now. Nothing stopping ya 👍

We want one that we can ride into a pool, or ride into the ocean.... then.. Ride out, and have no issues. Please/Thanks!

[@mattbetter0597]

I feel like evolves are good boards but are mighty expensive. If you prioritise customer service the most then it's the board to get. If you want a better price to performance ratio then probs not

[@paulr3556]

Wonder how many lives the "Spanish Devil" can take? Hopefully none. Should have named it something Aussie, like the Wedgetail, short for Wedgetail eagle. Coz she flies!!! Been around a while, and all this devil stuff just ain't cool anymore. In my 50YO opinion)
