A word from David

Evo-Spirit Rider
since 2011

Hi, I'm David, 46 years old. I discovered electric skateboarding in 2011 on an Evo Skate Cross 800. When products are reliable and efficient, I stick with them. I've trusted Evo-Spirit for over 10 years, and I'm even happier since getting the Switcher HP!

I love riding on small country roads, greenways, and shortcuts. The more kilometers I cover, the more I enjoy it!

🌿 The overall assessment

What a joy it was to ride these country roads, canals, and wooded paths. I was surprised by how discreet the Loire was at the beginning and by the presence of nuclear power plants along the banks.

🏰 The highlights

The Bec d'Allier with its canal bridge, and arriving at Chambord Castle by crossing the forest domain. Magical! A reliable skateboard underfoot, no worries at all.

🔄 Would I do it again?

I'd do a road trip without a backpack, or with a travel partner for transport. Riding with two batteries isn't an issue. Ultimately, I'm delighted with this adventure and my Switcher HP.
