The new Bamboo GT is fast. Trouser changingly, eye-wateringly fast and it is available for pre-order tomorrow.

Jeff Anning, the Aussi chief designer and owner of electric skateboard company Evolve, has turned the world of skateboarding on its head.

In May the maverick released the Carbon GT.

Then in July he launched the World Cup for electric skateboards.

Now he is set to release the Bamboo GT.

For the uninitiated, Evolve produce top of the range electric skateboards.

These boards are not toys, they are a very serious piece of kit – just watch the world cup video.

The Bamboo GT is beautifully tattooed with a decorated Canadian maple hardwood deck. Slung beneath is a custom designed Lithium ion battery.

Two powerful 3000 Watt brushless motors power the board to between 35-42kph.

Speaking to Daily Star online the Aussie boffin Jeff Anning said: “This board is the perfect combination of style, agility and ability, the Bamboo is an insanely awesome carving machine for the wood deck loyalist.”

He is right to boast about the board, which has been in design for two years. If the Bamboo lives up to the promised stats it will be an incedible machine.

All that power is built into a board 38 inches in length and with street wheels weights only 7.9kg.

Jeff started selling eboards in 2011 and has taken Evolve from being a startup on the Gold Coast of Australia to having dedicated distributors across Europe and America.

The Bamboo GT is the culmination of all that building experience and user feedback.

The board will be sold in three options: Street, All Terrain and 2-in-1.

It is the same board but different wheel setups depending on how you want to ride – on street or off road.

According to Mark Williams, UK Evolve Distributor: "Bamboo GT Street is expected to be our most popular Evolve Electric Skateboard - our competition should be quaking in their boots!”

The man is rightly confident because in May, the Carbon GT sold out on in hours after release.

Predictably the Bamboo will sell out when pre-orders open tomorrow.

So why have these Evolve boards taken off? Simple: the endless ride.

Take a look at the front and rear new wider super-carve truck system. Those double kingpin trucks provide stability whilst enabling tight carves.

And the ride is endless because on a single change this board has almost a 20-mile range.

So leave the car at home, grab your board and imagine you are on a never-ending wave or snow as you carve and weave.
