Used electric skateboard:
good or bad idea?
Why Evo-Spirit used gear is a smart choice
Choosing a used electric skateboard is often the best way to enjoy riding without a big budget. At Evo-Spirit, boards are inspected, refurbished, warranted, and ready to ride.
Used electric skateboards: what you really need to know
An accessible and enjoyable choice
Buying a used electric skateboard can be an excellent decision. The first advantage is obviously the price: you get access to more powerful and more comfortable models for a more reasonable investment.
Whether you are a beginner rider, someone looking to progress, or simply want to change your riding style without spending too much, it is often the best way in. The pleasure of riding remains intact, and a good e-skate can deliver the same sensations even if it has already been ridden.
A more responsible choice
The other benefit, too often overlooked, is the environmental aspect. An electric skateboard is a technical product that can last several years: giving it a second life means fewer new batteries manufactured, less waste, and a more responsible approach.
The gesture is simple, but its impact is real. The ride does not change, but it becomes more aligned with a sustainable approach.
The possible limitations of buying used from individuals
However, the used market can also have some grey areas. Sometimes you find e-skates with an unclear history, an aged battery, modified components, or models for which spare parts no longer exist.
This is precisely why Evo-Spirit has built a proper used offering. If you have any doubt, feel free to send us a message: we will be happy to advise you.
How Evo-Spirit prepares its used boards
Full refurbishment in our workshop
Evo-Spirit used skateboards are fully refurbished in our workshop in Pornichet, France. Each board is disassembled, inspected and tuned by our technicians.
Battery, ESC, motors, trucks, deck, hardware, wheels, remote: every essential component goes through their hands. The goal is simple: to offer a balanced, healthy and enjoyable board from the very first metres, with no nasty surprises.
Systematic warranty and available after-sales service
To secure your purchase, all our used models come with a minimum three-month warranty. This warranty lets you approach used gear with peace of mind, whether you are a beginner, regular or experienced rider.
And just like our new models, our after-sales service remains available to support, advise, diagnose remotely or handle repairs in our workshop.
Used Evo-Spirit models: versatility, manoeuvrability and fun
Versatile and comfortable boards
Several models regularly come back in stock. The Xplorer V1 and Xplorer V2 stand out for their versatility. These boards are designed to ride on both tarmac and trails, with the option of adapting wheels to the terrain.
Their comfortable deck naturally absorbs vibrations, and their stability makes them perfect skateboards for long rides or versatile daily use.
Agile and playful boards
The Switcher V3 and V3 City, often available in very good condition, are loved for their compact format and playful character. They are easy to handle, great fun for carving, and switch effortlessly from street to trail edges thanks to their belt motor and the many wheel options available.
For an urban rider or someone looking for a light and manoeuvrable skateboard, it is an ideal used choice.
Support that makes all the difference
After-sales service based in France
Our France-based after-sales service is there to answer, advise, repair and help your board evolve. A dedicated form lets you explain your issue, and the team then guides you towards the best solution.
For simple adjustments (wheels, belts, remote pairing), tutorials are also available. The goal is clear: to let you ride worry-free, no matter how old your board is.

The best thing is always… to try it
