ABOUT EVOLVE
BEHIND THE BRAND
Evolve Skateboards was born out of one man's passion for finding the perfect tool to unwind. In 2008, Jeff Anning was checking the surf at his hometown, Gold Coast, when he first discovered electric skateboards.
"I saw this guy coming past me on a skateboard, but he wasn't pushing. When I saw that skateboard, I thought instantly, "That's my answer." I would be able to achieve that endless snowboard feeling in front of my very own house." - Jeff Anning
He immediately scoured the internet, looking for the best electric skateboard he could find. While he enjoyed the idea of having the endless carving machine, he was disappointed by the actual experience.
The deck, trucks, and wheels of other electric skateboards were low quality, severely affecting the ride quality.
After more research, he figured out what the market was missing – a refined, high-quality electric skateboard built using genuine skateboard parts for an unparalleled riding experience. He rolled up his sleeves and set to design a mechanical setup that would attach to a regular longboard deck.
He spent the next three years reworking every part of the setup until he was satisfied he'd created the highest quality electric carving machine possible.
He immediately had interest from riders all over the globe. Jeff and his wife Fleur sold their family home to manufacture the first batch of boards — which sold out in under two weeks.
Evolve was born, but that was just the beginning...
