Twelve Board Store is your Evolve destination in Melbourne — we stock the full range in our Richmond showroom with demo boards you can ride before you buy, and back every board with Frosty's in-house workshop for service, parts and warranty 7 days a week. Evolve is the benchmark for all-terrain electric skateboards, and it's Australian-designed, which is part of why it handles our roads, hills and conditions so well. One board, swappable street and all-terrain wheels, and the power to go from a smooth commute to gravel and dirt without missing a beat.
Most electric skateboards do one thing. An Evolve does everything, because you can swap between street wheels and all-terrain (AT) wheels on the same deck — one board for the weekday commute and the weekend trail. Add genuinely strong motors that handle Melbourne hills, long-range battery options, multiple ride modes from beginner to expert, and a build quality that justifies the price, and you get a board that's a buy-once-buy-right investment rather than something you'll outgrow. For serious riders, Evolve is usually where they end up.
Bamboo vs Carbon — Which Evolve Is For You
Bamboo GTR: the bamboo deck flexes more for a livelier, carvier feel that soaks up bumps — a brilliant all-rounder for cruising and carving.
Carbon GTR: a stiffer carbon-fibre deck for maximum stability at speed and a planted, direct feel — the pick for higher-speed riding and heavier riders who want zero deck flex.
Stoke & shorter models: lighter, more portable, more affordable options for tighter budgets and shorter commutes — a great entry into the brand.
Not sure which deck or wheel setup suits you? That's exactly what we're here for — tell us your weight, your commute and your terrain and we'll match it. Better yet, come ride a demo.
Street vs All-Terrain Wheels
The Evolve party trick is swappable wheels. Street wheels are smooth, fast and efficient on tarmac and bike paths, and give the best range. All-terrain (AT) wheels are larger and treaded for gravel, grass, dirt and rough ground, trading some range and top speed for go-anywhere capability and comfort. With an Evolve you can run both and switch based on the day — no other major brand does versatility this well.
How to Choose & What the Specs Mean
Motor power & torque: decides hill performance — Evolve climbs inclines that stop lesser boards, which matters in Melbourne.
Battery range: quoted best-case, so expect less in the real world with hills, rider weight, AT wheels and cold weather.
Wheel choice: street for speed and range, AT for terrain and comfort — and you can swap.
Ride modes: cap speed and acceleration while you learn, then unlock full performance as you progress.
Evolve Questions, Answered
Can an Evolve handle Melbourne hills? Yes — strong motors and torque make Evolve one of the best climbers available. We'll match the model to your terrain and weight.
What's the real-world range? Less than the claimed best-case figure once you add hills, rider weight, AT wheels and cold weather. Tell us your commute and we'll recommend a setup with genuine range to cover it.
Bamboo or Carbon? Bamboo for a flexy, lively carve; Carbon for stiff, planted stability at speed and for heavier riders. Come try both at our showroom.
Can I use one board for street and off-road? Yes — that's the whole point of Evolve. Swap between street and all-terrain wheels on the same deck.
Is Evolve good for beginners? Yes — beginner ride modes cap speed and smooth acceleration so you can build confidence, then unlock more as you improve.
Do you service Evolve in-house? Yes — Frosty's workshop handles service, repairs, spares and warranty 7 days a week in Richmond. A big reason to buy local.
Range & Real-World Performance
Claimed range on any electric skateboard is best-case — light rider, flat ground, eco mode, warm battery. Add Melbourne hills, a heavier rider, AT wheels or full-throttle riding and the real number drops. Buy more range than you think you need, and ask us what to actually expect from a given setup — we'll give you the real figure, not the box figure.
Battery Care & Safety
Use the supplied charger, store around half charge rather than fully flat or full for long periods, don't charge unattended overnight, and keep it out of extreme heat. Genuine product from an authorised dealer means a battery and BMS you can trust — another reason buying local matters on a purchase this size. Wear protective gear, especially while learning.
Australian Road Rules
Electric skateboard and rideable laws vary by state and territory, and the rules on where you can legally ride do change. Check the current rules for your state before you ride, and if you're unsure how they apply, talk to us — we'll give you the honest picture.
Service, Parts & Warranty
Every Evolve we sell is backed by genuine Australian warranty and Frosty's in-house workshop — servicing, repairs and spare parts, 7 days a week, right here in Richmond. We don't ship your board overseas and we don't leave you stranded. See our electric board & bike service and repairs page, and the Evolve help videos for setup and maintenance.

Evolve is Australian-designed and the benchmark for all-terrain electric skateboards. The defining feature is versatility: swappable wheels take one board from smooth street commuting to gravel, grass and dirt, so you are not locked into a single surface. Below we cover the range, the street-versus-all-terrain choice, motor and range, battery care, and why buying your Evolve from us matters.
Why Evolve
Evolve set the standard for what an all-terrain electric skateboard could be. Australian-designed, they combine genuine power, real range and a build quality that holds up, with the signature ability to swap between street and all-terrain wheels on the same deck. For a rider who wants one board that commutes during the week and hits trails on the weekend, nothing matches the versatility. It is the board we point serious riders to when they want capability rather than a toy.
Street vs All-Terrain
The swappable wheel system is the whole point. Street wheels give you a smooth, quiet, efficient ride for bike paths and commuting. All-terrain wheels open up gravel, grass, dirt and rougher ground that would stop a street board dead. Because you can change between them, one Evolve genuinely covers both jobs, which is why it works so well for Melbourne riders who commute on sealed paths but want to explore off them.
The Evolve Range
The range spans different deck sizes, drivetrains and battery configurations, from more accessible models through to the flagship performance boards with the biggest motors and longest range. Bamboo decks flex for a surfier, more forgiving ride, while stiffer decks give a more planted, controlled feel at speed. Tell us how and where you want to ride and we will point you at the right model rather than just the most expensive one.
Motor Power and Range
Evolve boards are built to climb, which matters in hilly Melbourne. Motor power and torque decide how confidently the board handles inclines, and the all-terrain and higher-output models handle the steep stuff best. On range, the claimed figures are best-case, calculated with a light rider on flat ground, so expect less with hills, rider weight, speed and cold. Ask us for the honest real-world number on the model you are considering.
Battery Care and Safety
Charge with the supplied charger, store at around half charge rather than fully flat or fully charged, do not charge unattended overnight, and keep it out of extreme heat. Genuine Evolve product from an authorised dealer means a battery and electronics you can trust. If a battery ever shows warning signs, stop riding and bring it to us.
Service, Assembly, Parts and Warranty
Every Evolve we sell is backed by Frosty's in-house workshop, open seven days, handling servicing, repairs, spare parts and warranty right here in Richmond. We hold Evolve parts locally, so a repair does not mean shipping your board interstate or overseas.

Frequently Asked Questions
The swappable wheel system. One Evolve deck runs street wheels for smooth commuting and all-terrain wheels for gravel, grass and dirt, so a single board covers both jobs. That versatility, combined with Australian design, genuine power and real range, is why Evolve is the all-terrain benchmark.
Yes. Evolve boards are built to climb, and motor power and torque are what decide how confidently they handle inclines. The all-terrain and higher-output models take on the steep stuff best. Tell us your commute and we will make sure the model suits your terrain.
It depends on where you ride and how you want it to feel. Bamboo decks flex for a surfier, forgiving ride, stiffer decks feel planted and controlled at speed, and the models scale in motor size and range. Tell us your riding and we will point you at the right board rather than just the priciest.
Less than the claimed figure in real conditions. Manufacturer range assumes a light rider on flat ground, so Melbourne hills, rider weight, speed and cold all reduce it. Ask us for the honest real-world number on the model you are looking at.
Yes. Frosty's in-house workshop handles servicing, repairs, spare parts and warranty seven days a week from Richmond, and we hold Evolve parts locally so repairs do not get shipped away.
Yes. We keep demo boards at our Richmond showroom. On a board this capable and this significant a purchase, riding one first is worth it.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and
The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
Incredible company, my Burton Swash jacket was exactly as advertised, great website, good post purchase communication and fast postage. Overall, a perfect experience!
