The Electric Skateboard Built for Your Weekend, Not Just the Commute

Weekend riding is a different headspace. You are not watching the clock or dodging peak-hour foot traffic. You want distance, variety and terrain that actually challenges you. For that kind of riding, the Diablo Carbon All Terrain is the board to reach for. Rigid platform, serious range and tyres that genuinely handle mixed surfaces. It is built around sessions that go further than the footpath.

Why weekend riding demands more from a board

A good commuter board needs to be efficient and predictable. A good weekend board needs to do all of that and then handle the fire trail at the end of the bike path, the gravel car park, the patch of grass between the road and the river. The demands are broader, and the gaps in a board's capability become obvious fast.

That is where the all terrain setup earns its place. The 175mm pneumatic tyres roll over rough ground without rattling your feet apart, grip confidently on loose surfaces and absorb the kind of uneven terrain that would send street wheels chattering. Pair that with a rigid carbon deck and you have something that feels planted and precise even when the ground beneath it is not.

What the Carbon deck actually changes

The forged carbon fibre deck on this board is not just a weight saving. It changes the character of the ride in a way that matters at speed and on rough ground. Without flex, every input you make translates directly into movement. The board goes where you point it, responds to your weight shifts cleanly and holds its line through corners at pace.

That rigidity also means the integrated CNC heatsink can do its job properly. Under sustained load, like a long climb or extended high-speed cruise, thermal management keeps the motors running consistently. You get the same response at kilometre 40 as you did at kilometre five.

At 14.35 kg with the all terrain wheels fitted, it is not a featherweight. But it carries that weight low and evenly, and once you are moving, you barely notice it.

The range question

Range anxiety is real, and it kills sessions. You spend the back half of the ride watching the battery indicator instead of enjoying the terrain. The 864Wh Samsung battery on the Diablo Carbon pulls that concern off the table for most day rides. Up to 50 km on all terrain tyres gives you a proper adventure window, not just a quick loop before you have to head back.

Real-world range will vary with rider weight, terrain gradient and how hard you lean on the throttle in Corsa mode, but even discounting the headline figure, this is a battery that handles a full morning session with headroom to spare.

Charging takes around four hours with the included 5A fast charger, so an overnight charge before the weekend has you starting fresh.

Power that matches the terrain

Two 3500W brushless sensored motors give the Diablo Carbon 7000W of combined output. On sealed roads that means brisk, confident acceleration. On a 45-plus percent gradient it means you are not grinding to a halt halfway up the hill. That hill climbing figure is not a controlled lab result either. Riders use it on genuinely steep terrain.

The EFOC 2.0 controller manages that power smoothly. Throttle response is progressive rather than aggressive, which matters when the ground beneath you is uneven and you want predictable acceleration rather than a sudden surge. Braking follows the same logic. The modulation is precise enough to use confidently on loose surfaces without locking up.

The Phaze remote puts four ride modes within thumb's reach. Start in Eco to warm up or save battery on the flat sections, move to Sport or Corsa when the terrain opens up. The Explore app lets you tune acceleration and braking curves beyond the preset modes if you want a setup that exactly matches how you ride.

Where this board makes sense in the real world

Sydney's northern beaches have long stretches of coastal path that mix sealed sections with gravel and sand-dusted asphalt. The all terrain setup handles that transition without a second thought. In Brisbane, the river loop trails extend well beyond the smooth inner-city sections, and the outer sections reward a board that can handle mixed surfaces comfortably.

On the Gold Coast, the hinterland roads and trail-adjacent paths give riders who want more than flat beachfront cruising a proper workout. Melbourne's outer-suburb trail networks and Perth's river foreshore routes both have that same mix of sealed and unsealed that makes all terrain capability genuinely useful rather than theoretical.

If you are based in Queensland, the Evolve store at Mermaid Waters is worth visiting if you want to see the board in person before committing.

Who it suits best

• Riders who split their time between sealed paths and rougher trails
• Heavier riders who want the 120 kg capacity and rigid deck stability
• Anyone who wants the longest possible range in the all terrain format
• Experienced riders ready for a board that rewards precise input
• Weekend explorers who treat a session as an actual outing, not just a quick spin

It is worth noting that the carbon deck has zero flex. Riders who prefer a surfy, loose feel underfoot tend to lean toward the Bamboo variant. The Carbon is planted and direct, which is exactly what you want if your priority is confidence and control over varied ground at higher speeds. Different tool, different feel.

The Diablo Carbon All Terrain

If your weekends involve more than smooth tarmac and you want a board that keeps pace with that, the Diablo Carbon All Terrain is the clear choice in the Evolve lineup. The 864Wh battery, 7000W of motor output, 45-plus percent hill capability and rigid carbon platform add up to a board that does not ask you to plan your adventure around its limitations. It handles the terrain, you handle the ride.

Priced at $3,199 AUD and backed by a 12-month warranty and 14-day money-back guarantee, it is a serious investment in serious weekend riding.
