In this video I got to ride the Carvon Exo, and it’s a super unique take on hub/direct drive that actually fixes one of the biggest hub motor complaints: being stuck with that thin urethane sleeve wrapped around the motor. The whole point of the Exo is the wheel swap system—so instead of your ride feel being limited by the motor can size and a skinny layer of urethane, you can run full urethane wheels while still keeping that hub-style packaging. I break down what makes the Exo different, why that matters for real-world riding, and who I think this board is for. If you’ve ever liked the low-maintenance vibe of hubs but hated the harsh ride and limited wheel options, this design is exactly what you should be paying attention to. My main takeaway is that Carvon is pushing something genuinely different here: hub/direct drive convenience with the ability to choose wheels like you normally would on a belt setup. That’s a big deal for comfort, grip, and just tailoring the board to your style.
