I know you addressed the deck, but I'm wondering about the width of your stance on this board. Did you experience any heel fatigue because of the short drop deck? Do you know the length of drop portion?

    I had a question about the board, since I travel often and usually like to take my long board with me I was wondering if there was a way you would be allowed to take this with you either as a carry on or in a luggage on a plane. Also if you are able to, would you have to take the battery out before you get on the plane and would you still be able to take the whole thing in a suitcase or something else so that i'd still be able to bring it with me to the airport?

    I believe all airlines have a max battery size of between 100 - 160 watt hours. This board’s battery is 432 watt hours. Flying with electric vehicles is really difficult because of this. I’ve seen some people, and brands, build battery packs for their boards that are 99 watt hours just to get around this.

    I’m not a 100% sure but what I will say is the trucks on this board are super wide, giving a lot of stability. I didn’t have any speed wobbles the entire time I had the board. Speed wobbles can happen on any board though, I recommend only riding within your own capabilities as most wobbles are controlled by the rider.

    Every board out there has Chinese parts. Even Evolve doesn't make every component on their boards. They just buy the parts and sometimes they help to design them but most of those parts all come from China. Evolve I think just assembles them here. The US doesn't make anything anymore and if they do, they make it in China or that board will cost $5000 dollars. So no matter what board your thinking of buying or even building yourself you are going to be using some parts that were made in China simply because we don't make those kind of parts in this country anymore. If that pisses you off, then stop voting for republicans and democrats because they are owned by the same rich assholes and it doesn't matter which party is in power, they both have allowed this to happen and both parties need to be held accountable and never voted for again. Stop voting for the better of those two parties and maybe we will eventually get our manufacturing jobs back and life will return to normal. But that won't happen if we allow these two parties to continue ruling us. It's better to not vote at all then vote for either of those two parties because your just allowing them to continue to screw the people in this country every time you vote for either of those parties. Sorry to stray off topic, but it's just a fact, and I'm not trying to push people into a certain party but away from the two everyone constantly votes for. If you want to see American made products again then you need to stop voting for people who have allowed our manufacturing industry move to China. As far as the board is concerned, I have one and it's a really good board. I haven't had any issues since buying it. I never had any speed wobbles even at high speeds so far and I'm just an average rider. I'm not a pro but I do like to go fast and this board delivers the speeds it advertises. I have used mine for about 6 months now and gone over 320 miles on it. It's a little scuffed up now but still performs like new. I am very impressed with it. I have to admit I was skeptical at first and took a chance when i bought it and I'm glad now that I did. I get compliments all the time from people and I'm considering buying another one just incase something happens to this one. There isn't any other board designed like it on the market and might never be again.

    Have fun pushing your board. I'm not rich, I just have a job. I saved for my board. It was worth every penny and I take it everywhere now and don't have to worry about going down hill only and being all tired from pushing it for 10 miles. It's fun now to go places. I couldn't imagine not having it. If you never tried one then you don't know what your missing. The positives far outweigh the negatives and it's saving me lots of money that I would be spending on gas. If you like riding longboards then i can't see how you wouldn't like having an electric one. I'll be the guy riding up the hill you just went down and will have to walk up again if you want to ride your board again. I don't even have a trust fund. I earned everything I have ever got in my life. I hate rich kids too because they take boards like this for granted like they do everything in their lives. I'm not rich at all. I'm just trying to survive like everybody who isn't rich is. I work my ass off during the day so that I can play on my time off. It's not easy to be able to afford a board like this one but if you save your money then eventually you can afford one. This isn't a longboard but they make those electric too and I built my electric longboard piece by piece. Now i have two boards and I'm not rich and these are not toys. They are advancements in skateboards that have a different purpose. It's hard to believe that you don't understand that concept. Even my 8 year old nephew understands this. Probably because he was not taught to be a hater and is curious enough about things to learn about them before he starts making ridiculous opinions about things that he doesn't know enough about. His parents are not rich either, they just spend time with him and encourage him to learn about things that interest him. They would never encourage him to hate anything because that will never help him in the future. Better to stay positive about the positive things than focus on the negative. You should give that a honest try sometime and see if that makes things better for you. At least then you can speak from experience and promote being a hater if that is what works for you. Because people won't take the time to listen to you when you don't have any credibility. It's worth trying anyway. The worst that can happen is you don't agree and then you spend the rest of your life pushing a skateboard and hating people that don't have to anymore just like you are right now. I'm only telling you this because i have a feeling that nobody ever told you this before and you should be told at least once. This way I can go on with my life ignoring people like you because your generally not worth the time speaking too. Your comments back will cement my conclusions about people like you. Time will tell
