Onirique

This is the first electric skateboard I’ve ever owned. I’ve been a fan of loaded for 10+ years, so when I saw they were releasing an electric board with evolve I was sold. And I am officially converted as it definitely won’t be my last. To say I’m in love is an understatement. I. AM. OBSESSED. The name really sums it up perfectly. Onrique. It is dreamlike. Carves silky smooth and makes me feel like the king of the streets. I never want to get of this thing. Seems to have a high quality build. Double king pin trucks definitely gives this board some amazing mojo and carvability. Phaze 2 remote is solidly sturdy. I like the design although I have nothing to compare it too. My only downsides to report thus far is if your looking for speed and high performance I would look into the other boards. I didn’t buy it for this reason however, more to ride with style and carve it up as I love the wooden bamboo deck aswell so aesthetics over speed. PS make sure to wear a helmet- I never did longboarding but figured it’s important in eskating. If you get a cool helmet you like the look of it helps. I was pretty stoked to pick up a helmet that looks like it’s made for this board in a local store near me. If you buy the onrique I’m sure you will not regret it! Thanks Evolve and loaded team for bringing joy in the form of 4 electrified wheels and some wood.

Powerful yet still portable, and it’s also nice to have the additional range, with summer around the corner walking provides a good option for calorie burning, however not interested in having another shower before work, once in public transport it tucks away easily not to bother the other folk. You still get the odd look mostly because of the bright orange wheels, and the helmet. Easy to carve and pleasant kick of power when needed, ah yes the board has an old skate look to it, yet is latest design and tech. Well done.

It even has it's own parking at work!

I have ridden many boards in my day, but nothing quite compare’s to the Onirique. It was delivered quickly, the box/packaging was sleek and clean, and the board was in perfect shape. It comes with a ton of cool accessories, and tools, in a nice black case! The deck/grip tape graphics are artistic, and very grippy for great control. The second I stepped on my board, I knew this was something special. The feel, the surfy-ness, the ACCELERATION. All the best I’ve ever felt on a board, and any much faster/quicker would be overkill.. I think they got it just right!

Overall, Loaded x Evolve really outdid themselves with the look and feel of the board! The best part is, the board feels and looks like a real longboard/skateboard, not some blacked-out carbon looking, futuristic style, but rather a classic feel, as if you put a nice Tesla motor in an old classic Porsche! After my first 100 miles of riding, I can easily say this is the highest quality, and most fun ride I’ve ever had!

Things I would change:

- charging port is firm/a bit challenging to plug in, but it charges very very fast!

- it would be cool to have a meter on the side of the board or charging brick, showing the percentage of how charged the board is, rather than having to turn on the remote or phone to check!

- the slots that hold the wires in place are not strong enough to stay locked in with the vibration of the board, they slip out every ride, maybe consider a better locking system. Doesn’t effect the ride at…
