[@kpeterk54]

@@Ramatorix I also think that the brakes are waaay to sensitive.. when going fast downhill especially you have to be extremely careful. I personally went downhill and the board almost threw me off and I was super sensitive with the brakes and they just grab. The onsra breaks are so much more predictable.

[@Ramatorix]

@@kpeterk54 i completely agree. I figured out today that 15mph and less the brakes are fine. It is at 16mph when the board acts differently. I like the brakes better on the onsra as well.

[@kpeterk54]

@@Ramatorix onsra brakes are much more predictable and it never feels like it's not powerful enough. The harder you brake the better it works. On the evolve it feels like you try to brake at 25mph and it goes into full emergency stop even though you barely touch the brakes. Overall I do like the evolve better for me. It's quicker off the line. The battery last longer. The deck is flexable. The customer service is very good. Which is the most important for me. I think onsra is also a fantastic board too I don't hate it its just personal preference. I still ride both of them and like them both.

[@Ramatorix]

@@kpeterk54 i feel very simular, they are both great boards and I need to test more on the evolve. I wish we could take both boards and combine them to make the perfect board lol.

[@johanandersson3952]

Good one! I think it's perfectly cool you giving your opinions objectively. We know you are not biased and it's great hearing your views regardless if you totally agree. You are right, the brakes are very aggressive at high speeds and perhaps too much so but also you may get more used to it and perhaps enjoy the strong brakes. Look forward to different wheels, carving, if you like the flex of the deck and enjoy strong acceleration from start. It's fine if you have critique based on your taste and preference and we will assess if we feel the same. Main thing is to learn about it and you bring up everything. Keep it up

[@Ramatorix]

Thanks so much for the detailed and inspiring comment. I really appericate you being down to earth when watching these videos. So people are such fanboys that is I say the smallest thing they get so defensive. I like strong brakes but not the second they engage. I just dont understand why they act so differently above 15mph. Below 15 they are strong but you have to be pressing the button at 70 to 80%. Above 15mph and the second you touch it it wants to throw you off the board. I whish you could turn that off and just make the brakes the same no matter what speed you are going.

[@johanandersson3952]

@@Ramatorix Totally understand but don't be too careful in your opinions and assessments, it's cool to hear and objective view regardless, we kind of know the fixed ideas about all of this but I like to hear your angle. Some including me may have somewhat if different views about some things but you can never convince fan boys and zealots. You approach and give feedback very well and openly and do not think anyone should have problem with that. There are to many somewhat jaded or biased reviewers. Not many take their time, questions fixed ideas or do long term reviews. Look forward to more

Hi really good video and when the roads are smoother the 97mm wheels are nice especially once they warm up 🙃 Mark

61 km on my brandnew gtr street. Flat road along a river, 90 % eco Mode. Average speed 15-20 km/h. I couldn't believe it, thé trip was endless... 67 mm standard wheels if course.

[@Ramatorix]

That is really good range. The best part of having a board that can go that far is I don't have to worry about the battery. I can ride 20 miles just having fun and not look at the battery guage because it is going to make it.

Love the way you did the progress thing.lol awesome. I know how your feet feels bro. How fast or what was your real constant speed? Like how fast you was going most of the time? For example I was going 19mph the whole way on my test how bout you? I feel I could mad either 30 but I won't even try it. Lol is torture bro.jejeje. Amazing run Bro...

[@Ramatorix]

Thanks bud, my average was around 15mph.

[@MadDonJuan]

@@Ramatorix cool I always appreciate your honesty bro. I really do. And by the way I'm learning so much from you.lol I always wondered how the onsra can do 30mph with a lower kv motor than the RS but the RS of topping out at 24mph. My combo gear g is 15-36.

[@Ramatorix]

@@MadDonJuan thank you for the complement. I am trying to do things differently and be honest no matter the cost. I am not sure about the top end. It is crazy how different the evolve and onsra are. The evolve has way smaller gears but has more tq and less top end. It makes no sense, it must be how the motors are built and the wires are wound. Take it easy and stay safe my friend.

[@MadDonJuan]

@@Ramatorix is the kv in the motors. Or turn per voltage, like the "RPM" believe the evolves are 140kv the onsra 160kv the less RPM or kv the more power and the higher more rpm. A good example is a stick shift car in 1rt gear has more power but the 5th gear has less power at low speed but way more rpm. Hope it makes sense lol. Thats how they work. Thw RS has 170 kv. Alot of ppl say that's like the sweet spot for both worlds. I will love to try a 34 teeth pulley on mines as it came with 36, I will go faster but shed abit of torque and breaking. Well see.. thank good care of your self Bro!! Mad Love!!

[@victorsanchez2909]

Mine only gets to 14m/h how do i make it faster ?

You have to go into the settings and turn off the speed limiter. Thats all

[@jonassvensson1819]

Hello Ramatorix, how is it going with the GTR? Any news and fixes to the Onsra? I ordered a Verreal RS in July and sent an email asking what is going on. Their owner Vic answered fast saying they have had a problem with the Hobbywing ESC so they have sent them back and Hobbywing is backed up so it looks like it will take a long time. Have you heard anything? All the best

[@Ramatorix]

Jonas, the gtr is still doing great. Onsra has stated they have redesigned the battery try and it should not be an issue in the future. Additionally they have had some people with the same issue as I but not manny. It has not affected me though as I am still ridding it. That is interesting with verreal. I ordered mine on 2 July. Around 20 July Vic said it has shipped but it was sea freight so it would take 30 days. I think I will reach out today and see if it shipped or not. I understand shipping from china, sea freight being cheaper, dealing with updates, and covid issues but if it is going to take more than 2 months I might have to rethink this. A new site onsrausa.com/?ref=rama5 has stood up. So this is not fabians site, its the person who will be fixing any boards in the US. He owns his own store and bought a bunch of Onsras. He then sells them out of his store so the shipping is faster and cheaper. He just got a stock in and can have them to customers in as little as 5 to 7 days. While this batch of stock lasts. He told me he had 2 large shipments this month alone. Also code Rama5 works for his site as well.

[@jonassvensson1819]

@@Ramatorix Very interesting and thank you for the information. I think the Onsra would have to get a thicker and somewhat flexy seal for this to work, I think the Verreal has that already. The shipping is very expensive by air which means their slim margins for profit will have them prefer shipping by sea to US and train for us in Europe. I would perhaps go for the Onsra but I think it's too loud and almost twice the price of the Verreal which to me is very similar I went for it regardless of long wait. I look forward to more updates and tests of the GTR as well as the Onsra. Oh, I wrote a review for my wowgo 3X complementing it for being a very good alternative to Boosted stealth in terms of that type of board ant it's performance. Then cautioned people to put in an additional bearing for the drive wheels and explained why. Gave it 4 out of 5, it was never exposed on their page. Take care

[@Ramatorix]

@@jonassvensson1819 thank so much for the in depth comment. The verreal is a stiff deck and stiff cover that is the biggest difference. I am excited to get the verreal and see how it is compared to these other more expensive boards. That is weird they did not post your comment. Makes me even more sceptical lol.

[@jonassvensson1819]

@@Ramatorix You as well, I think they are pretty much equally stiff both in terms of board and enclosure but Onsra puts if forward as being somewhat flexy.For me I doubt that and the glassfiber as well. I think wowgo want most reviews to be 5 out of 5. Also makes me suspicious. See you

[@jonassvensson1819]

Hello Ramatorix, look forward to more on the GTR. Also would be cool in the future to get an honest review looking at the AT wheels compared to the 115 mm rubber wheels on different surfaces. I think you said the rubber wheels are a bit more comfortable than the new cloud wheels? Also bit better on gravel and rough surfaces? I have rode the old 120 mm clouds and the new 105D ones and I am very happy with both but if the rubbers are better and compared to AT that would be interesting. I do not need extreme range. Cheers

[@christophersanders3406]

Oh man 32 miles!!! Dang that thing has some range. My feet where killing me on 22 miles on my onsra. Can only imagine another 10 more miles 😵. What would you say is more comfortable to ride longer distances with, between onsra and the evolve?

[@Ramatorix]

That is a hard question. I like to stand with my fee straight out from the board so deck it is the onsra, smoothness it is the evolve. I have to say my feet and front knee hurt the same between both boards lol.

[@Ramatorix]

Congrats on getting 22 miles. What wheels and how much do you weigh.

[@christophersanders3406]

Ramatorix eSk8 reviews I was using the 115 rubber wheels. I weigh about 155 ish pounds. I was surprised to get that but during the last 20% battery I tried to coast as much as possible as I was still quite some distance away from my house 😂. But I made it home with a little bit left in the tank 👍 but yea my feet were toasted 🦶🚨🚑🏨

[@Ramatorix]

@@christophersanders3406 that is so crazy the difference that 50 lbs makes. I can only get 14 miles on those wheels. Thank you for sharing your experience and testing.

[@kurtis211]

Wow! You got some range there! Just curious...I noticed that your average speed was 12.1mph. Did you also go that slow when testing the range on other boards? 🛹 And you were using the stock street wheels correct? And does that make a big difference than having rubber or cloud wheels (softer) for range in your opinion?

[@Ramatorix]

The average speed is off because I do not pause the app when I stop like at lights or crosswalks. Yes all boards are tested between 10 to 15mph ridding. The wheels do make a difference but I have tested all 3 boards as they shipped. Wowgo 12 miles with urethane 10 miles with cloudwheels, onsra 22 miles with urethane 22 miles with cloud wheels, evolve 32 miles with urethane. I will be testing the evolve with cloudwheels once they arrive.
