Long story short, "... the Evolve Skateboard is the only thing that really delivered the fun I thought the future would hold when I was a kid."
2021 has been a crazy world for manufacturing and delivering products but we have good news! The majority of the Hadean's first shipments have been fulfilled around the world, with USA boards on their way to customers from tomorrow. Hundred's of riders have been sharing their feedback and we couldn't be more stoked to see the Hadean Series in the real world.
It was 2012 when we first created a carbon fibre electric skateboard. It was the worlds first eSkate that housed the electronics completely inside the deck itself to give it the slimline look of a traditional skateboard. Since then, we have continued to work with carbon fibre to utilise its strength, malleability and beautiful aesthetics to create the worlds finest boards.
We now have 9 different boards to choose from, so how do you know which one is right for you? We talk with our customer experience manager about the common questions our teams tackle when dealing with soon-to-be customers... Stoke, GTR or Hadean? All-Terrain or Street? bamboo or Carbon?

We sit down with our lead designer to talk about what the design process looks like for an Evolve board. From initial sketches and prototyping parts, to sending a final board into production, there is many challenges and successes in creating a ground-up design.
“Electric forms of transport are an interesting area of development. Aimed at high-end users, the Evolve Carbon Hadean is a premium version of an existing model that showcases a smart use of materials and design construct to reduce weight and bulk. The well-executed upgrade cleverly uses smart technology in the processing (including composite forged carbon fibre) and the electronics (including lithium-Ion battery cells electric motors) to ooze speed and performance. A standout project that ticks all the boxes for good design in this category. Well done.” ~ Good Designs Awards Jury
