Gear drive, a new system for electric skateboard performance upgrading, replaced belt drive with higher transmission efficiency, which is generating a new revolution in the electric skateboard industry. 

With a gear drive, attached to a motor, acting to another gear without tension, which reduces the resistance and provides better speed.

They’re more reliable and high-performance and won’t skip under hard braking or accelerating. They are shielded from debris and needs less maintenence.

Spur gears are one of the most common types of gear used in electric skateboards. They have cylindrical pitch surfaces and a tooth line that is straight and parallel to the shaft. Spur gears are commonly used because they can be relatively easily produced while achieving high-performance accuracy. 

Unlike other ancient Roman cities, you’ll see little restoration; buildings are as it was during the Roman days (or how it has crumbled since). Contemplate that as you walk around exploring what’s left of cultural centers like temples, theaters, and hippodromes. White Australia has such a short, colonized history that you wouldn’t find a building under 200 years old.

Similarly to spur gears, helical gears are used with parallel shafts. They are also cylindrical gears with winding tooth lines. Unlike spur gears the leading edges of the teeth on helical gears are not parallel to the axis of rotation — instead, they are set at an angle.

These smooth teeth meshing makes sure that the gears can transmit higher loads and are quieter than spur gears, which can be noisy at higher speeds. Since these gears generate thrust in the axial direction, thrust bearings are required.

Adopt helical gears with 20CrMnTi steel material, which is commonly used to manufacture transmission gears, with high strength and toughness. The surface carburizing technology is adopted during the production process, reducing the deformation and ensuring durability performance.

The stable helical gear meshing can avoid the phenomenon of tooth jamming and reduce noise. And the installation with gear drives is easier since the motors are closer to the truck and more compact in general. 

Gear drive enhances the efficiency of power transmission, and upgrades the hill incline, up to 40%. Eovan GTO SILO is suitable for your all-terrain riding experience.

As the most traditional drive system, belt drive has always been the preferred drive system of electric skateboard manufacturers, and is the most important choice for most skateboard enthusiasts. 

 In general, belt drives provide better torque than similarly priced hub systems. They also allow the use of full longboard wheels and also allow for a wider selection of wheels for more DIYers. 

With this in mind, we also provide a belt version of Eovan GTO Silo. You will get much more acceleration and hill-climbing power with Eovan electric skateboards that have belt-drive motors. Of course, if you want to experience gear drive, you can buy our gear drive set.
