    Still shopping around and watching YouTube videos.

    It's Evolve Carbon GT (With All Terrain Wheels) Vs Mellow Boards Drive (On an Old Skool Deck)

    Both work out being about the same price.

    EVOLVE CARBON GT
    https://www.evolveskateboardsuk.…
    ===================
    PROs
    - Can go over anything with the all terrain tyres
    - Could have one in my hands tomorrow (in stock)
    - Speed and battery time

    CONs
    - BIG! 40" Long
    - HEAVY! 7.5kg
    - Not very subtle especially with the big 7" wheels
    - Sensitive remote

    MELLOW DRIVE
    https://www.mellowboards.com/en/…
    =================
    PROs
    - Can be fitted to ANY deck
    - Can be carried onto planes for travelling
    - More subtle than a longboard

    CONs
    - Not available until Mid-July if bought now.
    - 80mm wheels can't cope with off road or larger pebbles, cracks etc.
    - Not a huge amount of videos/reviews of speed etc other than beta testers. They distribute their kickstarter backers this week so maybe some will appear.

    • damn $$$Gnash
    • Yeah it's a lot of cash. Had to sell some synths to get funds! It'll be worth it though to get a buzz on the daily commute :)microkorg
    • mellow looks A+inteliboy
    • Think the mellow is winning at the moment as its more 'everyday'. A 8kg longboard is a lot to cart about when not using it.microkorg
