In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing a protection kit on the Diablo, Hadean, and GTR models of your Evolve electric skateboard.

The kit installation process is the same for the all-terrain version (electric mountainboard) and the street version (electric longboard).

A protection kit is essential to protect your motors from impacts and extend the lifespan of your skateboard. Follow these steps for a correct and effective installation.

• Y-Tool supplied with your skateboard
• 1/8 Allen key supplied with your Y-Tool
• Medium-strength threadlocker (we use Loctite 243, but any medium-strength threadlocker will do)

Check the kit contents: Two protection kit mounts (marked L for left and R for right), three protection bars, and ten screws (four short and six long).

To avoid confusion during installation, separate the short screws from the long screws.

Remove the wheel: Flip the board onto one side and use the Y-Tool to remove one of the wheels.

Remove the belt guard: Use the 1/8 Allen key to remove the belt guard, belt, and drive gear.

Identify the mounts: The mounts are marked L (left) and R (right) to indicate their respective positions.

Apply threadlocker: Apply a small amount of threadlocker to the parts of the screws that go into the protection kit bars.

Attach the mounts: Use two short screws to attach the protection kit mount on the side where we haven't removed the wheel yet.

Replace the axle nut: Reposition the nut on the wheel axle to balance the board when you flip it over.

Repeat the previous steps: Remove the wheel, belt guard, belt, and drive gear, then install the protection kit mount on the other side.

Align the bars: Slide each bar into position, aligning the bar with the mount hole, starting with the bar closest to the axle.

Apply threadlocker: Apply a small amount of threadlocker to each screw (long screws) before installing them.

Attach the bars: Tighten the screws firmly to secure the bars in place. Then screw the bars on the other side.

Retighten the mounts: If you loosened the mounts to facilitate bar installation, make sure to retighten them firmly.

Reassemble the components: Replace the drive gear, belt, belt guard, and wheel. Tighten all components firmly to ensure a secure installation.
