Questions for Greg Nicholls
Briefly introduce us to Evo-Spirit and its history
Evo-Spirit is a great story that began in 2008. Originally, Benoît Liot and I, both passionate about skating and riding. After discovering the first electric skate prototypes, we created Evo-Skate. In 2015, building on our experience, we expanded our range and renamed the company Evo-Spirit. Today we offer skates, scooters, and electric motorcycles.
What are your flagship products?
We are historically the benchmark French brand in electric skateboards. Our skates remain our flagship products, but our range of Fatscoot and EvoChopper scooters is rapidly developing.
Why this diversification?
In 2008, electric skateboards mainly appealed to riders. Scooters and electric unicycles didn't exist. With over 10 years of experience, we expanded our offering to reach a wider audience, while keeping the pleasure of the ride at the heart of every product.
What are the advantages of the EvoChopper?
An electric motorcycle inspired by the American chopper. 2,000W, top speed limited to 45 km/h, L1E approved with registration. Comfortable position, easy and stable ride. And the pleasure of riding silently and without CO2.
How do you develop your products?
It all depends on the equipment. For some, the entire design is from 3D drawing to production. For others, it's a generic base that we improve. Our over 10 years of expertise allows us to make improvements that completely change the user experience. Our main concern: reliability. Samsung and LG batteries only, most assembled in France. The only brand to offer a 2-year warranty on batteries.
How do you manage after-sales support?
After-sales support is truly Evo-Spirit's strong point. A dedicated workshop technician, all spare parts available even years after a model is discontinued. All our equipment is designed to be repairable by users. A phone call, a technician diagnoses, and 48 hours later, the problem is resolved.
