Check out Evo In-wheel Motor Technology: the motors are built directly into the wheel to boost your electric skateboard's performance.

Technical innovation

Evo In-wheel
Motor Technology

Experience the power of a high-performance brushless motor integrated directly into the wheel. You get up to 1,200 W per wheel, zero drive belt maintenance, and 20% more efficiency.

The technical challenge

A motor in 72 to 90mm of diameter

Fitting a motor into a longboard wheel is a huge challenge. With only about 7mm reserved for the rubber, the available space is extremely tight.

Evo-Spirit tackles this challenge with high-quality brushless motors that feature powerful magnets. This design delivers up to 1,200 W per wheel, just like the Curve V3.

Why choose in-wheel

The advantages over an external motor

Better efficiency

By eliminating drive belt friction, the In-wheel Motor is about 20% more efficient than a drive belt system. This means more range or a lighter battery.

Zero drive belts

No drive belts to replace regularly. Maintenance is reduced to a minimum.

️ Protected motors

The motors are protected by the wheel's rubber, safely shielded from impacts like curbs and stones that can damage external motors.

Discreet design

With integrated motors, it's almost impossible to tell the drive wheel from a classic wheel. You get a clean look with no visible mechanics.

️ Lighter

This design lets us use a smaller battery. Your electric skateboard becomes more compact and lighter, all while maintaining the same range.

1,200 W per wheel

Impressive power in a minimal space. Brushless technology with powerful magnets delivers first-class performance.

The future of the electric skateboard

At Evo-Spirit, we're convinced that In-wheel Motor Technology is the future of the electric skateboard. Most of our new models will feature it.
