Looking for a compact, powerful, and fun electric skateboard to ride? You're in the right place.
In this article, discover the reviews, conducted by riders, of the Evolve Stoke X, a board designed for urban cruising and carving sensations, while maintaining what defines Evolve's DNA: an inimitable style, premium finish quality, and an ultra-smooth ride experience.
Complete Review of the Evolve Stoke X by ESK8UNITY: The Ultimate Urban Board
A big thank you to YouTuber ESK8UNITY for his complete review of the Stoke X. A true ride enthusiast and well-versed in the Evolve range, he provides a detailed analysis of the brand's latest compact model.
Find below the key points of his review, or watch the full fifteen-minute video to experience the test in immersion.
Evolve Stoke X: a retro-styled board designed for the city
Visually, it's flawless. A short 85 cm deck made of 4 plies of bamboo and 2 plies of fiberglass, with a transparent grip tape and an EVA pad at the rear for added comfort.
A nod to the origins: laser-etched pinstripe, homage to the brand's very first pintail. And above all, a real kicktail that opens up possibilities in urban riding: curb hops, 180°, reverts... and excellent portability.

Powerful motorization worthy of a longboard
Don't be fooled by its size: the Stoke X has the same motors as the Hadean, which means two 3,000W motors - 6000W in total. The result: an ultra-responsive skate.
Everything is controlled by the EFOC 2.0, Evolve's ESC, known for its precision and controlled power.
Battery Pack: the range we were waiting for
Here again, the battery pack is one of the major evolutions compared to the first Stoke. The X is equipped with a Samsung 50S, 50.4 V and 432 Wh battery pack, offering three times the capacity.
ESK8UNITY measured a range of 23 km in real conditions (75 kg, outside temperature of 8°C, alternating between 60% in Corsa mode and 40% in Sport mode). For a compact board designed for the city, it's more than impressive.
Range depends on the rider's weight, ride style, and skate configuration.

Trucks and wheels
In terms of ride feel, the Super Carve 2 trucks make all the difference: wider, stiffer, yet still fluid. The carving is clean, controlled, even in tight turns.
The 97 mm wheels with a 76A hardness offer impressive grip, even at high speeds or in tight turns. And they handle small road imperfections well. They are perfectly suited for urban use.
Premium finishes and details
As always with Evolve, the finish is impeccable:
Aluminium remote with a customizable color screen
Front and rear LED lighting controllable via the app or remote
Neat wiring, redesigned bash guards, deck with refined design
A small point to keep in mind: the larger motors of the Stoke X slightly reduce ground clearance, making the bash guards more prone to scuffs, especially on curbs or road imperfections.
Additionally, wheels over 97 mm may cause rear wheelbite, especially in sharp turns. It's best to stick with the original 97 mm for a smooth, hiccup-free ride.
ESK8UNITY's opinion: mini board, maximum ride feel
The Stoke X really ticks all the boxes:
✅ Ultra portable
✅ Powerful and responsive
✅ Customizable
✅ Generous range
✅ Perfect for tricks and urban riding
It's simply the best electric kicktail I've tested so far. The remote is, in my opinion, the best on the market, the ride feel is exceptional, and there's real attention to every detail.
Complete Review of the Evolve Stoke X by Drew Elia: A Compact Powerhouse
A big thank you to YouTuber Drew Elia for his comprehensive feedback on the Stoke X. An experienced rider and familiar with Evolve models, he shares his experience after several days of riding this compact board with a retro look...
Find below the key points of his review, or watch the full video to dive into his sensations in real conditions.
A design that pays homage to its origins
Honestly, the look of this Stoke X is stunning. It draws direct inspiration from the first Evolve pintail. The engraved bamboo pinstripes are super elegant. I love this old school surf style that's not seen enough anymore.
At the back, Evolve added an EVA foam pad, soft and pleasant underfoot – perfect for long sessions. It's a detail I really appreciated.
Optimized for carving
What blew me away from the first few meters were the new Super Carve 2.0 trucks. They're wider than those on previous models, and it makes all the difference. You get a super smooth, natural carving sensation.
They come with the supergrip wheels 97 mm, also a real success. Thanks to their dual-hardness construction, they absorb road imperfections while maintaining excellent control for sliding when you want to have some fun.
Good range for a compact size
The Stoke X is equipped with a Samsung 50S battery pack, with a capacity of 432 Wh, and an advertised range of around 45 km. For my part, I managed to achieve 35 km in real conditions, maintaining an average speed of about 20 km/h, with a rather smooth ride style, in constant carving.
It's a huge improvement over the first model, and honestly, for such a compact board, I find it really impressive. Of course, range varies depending on your weight, riding style, and chosen settings, but in my case, I was blown away.
A compact board... but powerful
The Stoke X uses the same motors as the Hadean paired with the EFOC 2.0 controller. And I'll be honest: it's a lot of power for such a small board.
Even in Eco mode, I reached the top speed. In Sport mode, it's a real wheelie machine. I've had several instances where I lifted the board unintentionally, just by pressing the accelerator. It's fun... but to be handled with care.
What's great is that the Evolve app allows you to customize power, acceleration, and braking. I spent a good amount of time fine-tuning it for a smoother ride, without sacrificing the fun.
What I liked
What really appealed to me is the portability and the range. The Stoke X is light, easy to carry, and you can ride all week without needing to charge it if you do short trips (10 km per day).
Between the deck's responsiveness and the precision of the Super Carve 2.0 trucks, the Stoke X offers exceptional carving quality. It brings back that surf feeling, ideal for dynamic urban commutes.
Two small drawbacks to note
I don't have much to criticize, but two points slightly frustrated me:
The transparent grip tape: visually, it's stunning... but it gets dirty quickly. It needs frequent cleaning to keep the board looking good.
The rear bash guards: due to the motors' position at the back, the tail often hits the ground, which slightly limits tricks that rely on the rear.
My final opinion on the Stoke X
The Stoke X encapsulates Evolve's expertise in a compact format: powerful motor, solid range, excellent maneuverability, and exceptional carving sensation.
If you're looking for a light, fun, nimble skateboard with plenty of response, you're going to love it. For me, it's one of the most fun models I've tested recently.
