My NEW Mode of Transport // EVOLVE Bamboo GTR

My NEW Mode of Transport // EVOLVE Bamboo GTR
Since moving to the Gold Coast, I don't really need a car, so I decided to pick up an @Evolve Skateboards Bamboo GTR instead! This electric skateboard is an absolute blast to ride and I find myself just going for cruises to use it. I can literally just cruise along the coast and it's fun and exciting every time!

Who has an electric skateboard? SOOOOO MUCH FUN!

[@chrisgardiner9565]

AndrewMurphyWA I am looking at getting one but I am not sure what to get. I don’t have the biggest budget. I was looking at the exway x1

[@dman1848]

I know right👍

[@colorcustom]

I have almost 1 year Bgtr and 6"tires, so good 👌🙏

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

@@chrisgardiner9565 I was looking at the exway as well, then I saw a comparison with the bamboo GTR and the GTR smashed it! Couldn't get the Exway after seeing that

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

@@colorcustom Dope! How do you like the 6" tires? I'm about to get the AT conversion

[@boostwolf7469]

gold coast!!!!! my fav place on earth

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

The best hey!!

[@dman1848]

I got myself a Exway X1 Pro. Im 40 years old and my missus thinks im nuts but honestly its one of the best purchases Ive ever made. Helps me de stress and get out of the house. Its made me feel like a kid again 👍

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Dude 100000% feel you! They are just a blast to ride around on hey! Soooo much fun!

[@alexbrown6331]

I enjoyed the exway but it didn't meet my expectations so I'm returning it for the GTR. Stoked!

[@danielcotten554]

Classic, this took me back couple years when I got the bamboo Gen 2 evolve board I was like that😎🙂🤯🤗

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

So much fun hey!!

[@TheVageles]

You sir have earned another sub. Btw, you'll never get over how good the feeling is! welcome to the Evolve Club

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thanks dude!! So much fun hey!

[@christianvukman4559]

Just watched your vid and loved the Stoke all over your face!!! Totally agree, it is the way of the future and the best way to get around... Picked up a GTR carbon over Christmas and absolutely loving it! Keep up the awesome Vids and skate to create!!

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Man such a good investment hey! The happiness factor of these things are insane! Thanks for tuning in!

[@kizzorama]

I have the gtr in at configuration. I'm in an urban environment but i prefer it in this set up for commuting. Comfy, stable, rolls over everything, so much fun.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Awesome

[@adamedoo3765]

I have the evolve stoke and I’m loving every minute lol f learning how to ride it. Great boards!

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Im keen to try the stoke out hey! Looks like a tonne of fun!

[@Argeaux2]

Those blue wheels look sick. Waiting for my board to arrive, and I ordered that colour.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Yeah figured i'd go something different

[@novafluxau]

I’m so excited, I’ve ordered an evolve and can’t wait till it arrives!

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Yewww! You’ll love it!

[@novafluxau]

I can already picture the Southbank cruises. I went down to HQ and had a demo and was sold then and there.

[@2wheels4lifepowers38]

awesome vid shows exactly how it feels the first time riding electric nice one bro

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thankyou

[@CarRide]

Excellent production 👍

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Much appreciated!

[@ASeSkater]

Awesome video dude! Love my GTR

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thanks dude! So much fun hey!!

[@jacob.peters]

I've got an exway x1 pro riot and love it. the only draw back is the battery size. google brought me here after some quick searches for board with longer ranges and it's rad you were able to just go pick up your GTR from a store

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Yeah it's great being local to the warehouse :)

[@ajplant96]

Hey man, good to see you’re loving the board. There’s a Facebook group called Evolve Riders SE QLD worth joining if you ever feel like joining on group rides when this lockdown stuff comes to an end, also great for quick help with any questions you may have. Also would recommend not getting caught without a helmet again as that’s a $130 fine in QLD, same with using your phone on the board, even for the camera, that’d be $1000.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Hey dudes! Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely keep this in mind. Have also joined the group 👌

[@pmacnz]

Double king pin truck tips: 1. Tighten both the back bushings more than the front ones 2. Tighten the closest nuts to the deck- front and back - more the the ones closest to the road. Stabilizes the ride at speed and avoids wobbles I have the gtr bamboo and the stoke

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Dude this is amazing! Thanks for the tips! I've noticed the speed wobbles at speed so will definitely be trying this!

[@pmacnz]

No worries buddy. #Esk8community

[@thuphat1123]

I have the Evolve GTR Bamboo. I was able to get 20miles using Eco mode, riding very conservative.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

What wheels are you running?

[@TheEVside]

Awesome subbed

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Welcome to the crew

[@travistravis7190]

I've been commuting to work and back on the goldcoast sidewalks on an atom electric B10. Its a short board that pretty much feels every bump and crack. Super fun with the small kicktail but leads me to a question. Whats it like on the longboard? For an every day commuter, is it a pain in the ass the board being that large? Would you still go with the same board if you were buying again?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Yo would definitely go the same board again but with the All Terrain Tyres that I have on it now. The AT tyres makes it so you don't feel all the bumps and you can also go offroad which is a tonne of fun! It is definitely bulky, but I'd rather have the 50km range than a smaller board that can't go as many places.

[@jimijackson]

My one tip...you know those plastic round bumpy things they put on train station platforms that you find in many main streets...don't ride too fast over those..your wheels will slide out. ;) Especially when they're not all terrain.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Oh man!! I know right!! I almost ate it so many times over these haha. Just got the 6” kit and loving it!

[@jimijackson]

@@AndrewMurphyFilms I went from all terrain to the 107mm. Specifically for the range. Just keeps rolling ..I liked the all terrains, but I hated having to charge it so often lol

[@issyb7394]

I just ordered the same set up like yours with the blue wheels I really hope I like it!! Is it fast and good to ride ?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

You'll love it! SOOOO FAST! I actually changed to 6" AT tyres now because the street was way to quick for me

[@travistravis7190]

Bro have you had this art top speed? How stable does it feel when your going fast? Also whats it like if your just on the Goldcoast sidewalks...do you feel every bump?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

I did once. Before i tightened up the trucks as well. Was super wobbly and almost died! I'm running the 6" AT tyres now and love it. With the street wheels you feel all the bumps definitely.

[@kelvinrodriguez8857]

Dope rear lights! What company?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

The rear lights are Serfas, fronts are Shredlights

[@RePtIlEBoI255]

How would you recommend this board today at the 1400 dollar Canadian price point

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

I think they are great, I haven't riden any other board however.

[@daveyg0728]

Great video Bro, what camera did you use for your 360 shots?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thanks dude! This was shot on the Insta 360 ONE X

[@lofimusiq]

lmaoooooo dude was having so much fun on eco mode!

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

We all start somewhere :)

[@lofimusiq]

@@AndrewMurphyFilms Hahaha i totally agree n loved it. Reminds me when I wouldnt go past 13mph cause I was already having a ton of fun! I'm up to 18mph now hahahhaa

[@DIY_Life_hack]

what the brand and size of your helmet dude

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Yo it's a Limar 360, size large 😀

[@boarderboyz5756]

The company is actually based in Nelson. New Zealand

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

They probably have shops in New Zealand, but it was born in Gold Coast, Australia :)

[@boarderboyz5756]

AndrewMurphyWA oh I thought it was in Nelson Nz because they have the board called the stoke and a famous street in Nelson is stoke

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Haha all good my man 🤙🤙

[@travistravis7190]

These are illegal on the road bro apart from residential streets where its 50k and just 1 lane with no linemarking. Not sure about dedicated bike lanes though. But definately dont let cops see you holding your mobile phone while riding this down a road.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thanks for the info

[@tigerscott9788]

You should try a onewheel

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

It was a toss up between this and a one wheel. But one wheels are illegal here, so that ended that decision making process haha

[@tigerscott9788]

AndrewMurphyWA why would they be illegal 😲

[@YTBraN]

6.38 Why you outta breathe dude? You've just been on an esk8board! Lol

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Carving takes it out of you!

[@calebr3297]

Sounds like it makes an annoying sound while riding

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

It does make a bit of a whine, don't really notice it but anymore

[@phizicks]

yeah I got a carbon GT and it's a pity the quality for price is shocking horrible. No where even near water resistant at all, battery management is stupid as it switches to EGO even when 50% only because you went uphill. the list goes on and on. I went to all the theme parks last Sept and was at gold coast, loved the smooth footpaths there wished I had my board with me but I currently live in Seattle for work, can't wait to get back in Sydney. You never get over riding it, you'll love it all the time. Even in coronavirus times, I'm riding anyway, cooped up at home all week, you need to get out PS: Don't believe the specs AT.. ALL... possibly in EGO mode and flat smooth street with persons weight of 60KG I bet

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

I'm getting bang on the advertised specs and haven't had nearly any problems at all. I think the price for value is on point.

[@henryhharold]

@@AndrewMurphyFilms yeah me too I got the Carbon now and it doesn't do that, my battery performs perfectly and I weight 95kg, but I don't know.. great boards tho

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

@@henryhharold Amazing boards hey! I love mine still. So much fun!
