Evolve to the Rescue



So I’ve bounced a few emails back and forth with Evolve. They’ve been very helpful. I especially love the way modern technology aids in the process. Instead of trying to describe what’s going on in an email, I can put a video on my InstaGram and simply show them. If you’ve been following me @maulakai on instagram, you’ve seen a few of these videos. My battery appears to be working fine. The problem may be a short in one of the wires, or a problem with the electronics.

Evolve asked me to ship to them the ‘black box’ which is under the board. I’d liked to have mailed it off ASAP, but I haven’t had a chance to mail it off yet. So far, I’m very satisfied with how helpful they’ve been.

In other news, I had a new follower on InstaGram. That’s always a nice validation for me. The user was skatetek_electric_skateboards. I only mention this because, out of curiousity, I checked out their webpage. Have a look for yourself. See anything interesting? Their boards look almost identical to the Emad boards I’ve had so much frustration with.

There’s little doubt in my mind that they’re all made in China by the same cheap ass factory. And while their boards are cheap, they’re still very low quality, and heavy, and all around terrible. Yet, I can’t fully trash them, since my Mom uses one, and they are very good for people with no skating experience.
