Pros
Pro Experienced company
Since Evolve has been making electronic boards for a while now, you won't have to be afraid of errors caused by inexperience – the type of mistakes that could be made by a startup company. This also increases the odds they will be around to honor their warranties.
Pro Good build quality ensures good control
The board comes with double carving trucks and a super low drop-through. There are a ton of wheels available to choose from. You will be able to slide it, carve it, or just cruise like you would with any other board. There’s very little friction from the motor, and at low speed it’s basically imperceptible. It's a really good ride, even compared to a traditional longboard.
Pro It only takes 5 minutes to turn it into an all terrain electric longboard
The all-terrain setup can be switched pretty quickly making for an easy way to go off-road with the board. It costs $1,399 with both AT and street setup. AT setup can be bought separately for those that already have a board.
Pro Regenerative brakes that don’t overcharge the battery
The brakes are able to recharge the battery as you slow down, but won’t turn the board off if you overcharge the battery (this is a problem for some boards on the market).

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro Good compromise between stability and carving agility
Even though EBS uses bottom battery mounting method, it does not cause the board to be very rigid and instead is reasonably flexible.
