Yecoo GTS is another all-terrain skateboard that Yecoo is targeting. Yecoo GTS is cheaper than GT, but it also has its own features. The GTS deck removed the handle, and the integrated design increases the waterproof and dustproof performance of the skateboard. In addition, GTS offers 3 different capacity batteries for skateboarders to choose from. Also, GTS retains the advantages from GT.

Hardware:
Deck
The size of GTS deck is 38 in (L), 12.2 in (W), 7.08 in (H),which is still made by 8 layers of maple. The maple maybe heavier than carbon fiber, but it has some advantages which carbon fiber don’t have. Maple deck is stronger than carbon fiber board. If it bears the same weight, maple deck is not easy to deform, so maple skateboard is easier to pass in some complicated terrain.
Wheels
GTS still use 2 sets of wheel system, 6 inch honeycomb wheels with 83mm PU wheels. Both wheel systems are elastic enough to meet the needs of all terrain and the excellent vibration damping ensure the comfort of riding.
Motor
For an off road electric skateboard, belt motor is almost standard configuration. Similarly, GTS also use dual brushless belt motor to provide more power. However, like the roar of a sports car engine doesn’t appeal to me, I also can't understand the moving sound of this belt motor. It maybe a little louder.
Truck
GTS uses a pair of 250mm alloy trucks, it's so strong and flex.Similarly, it retains the barrel and cone bushing to increase its stability and flexibility.
Battery
Yecoo GTS provide 3 type of Samsung battery: 6.6Ah, 9.0Ah and 10.5Ah, and both of them are 10S3P. Samsung battery, undoubtedly, is currently the best electric skateboard battery brand on the market.
Conclusion
All in all, GTS is generally satisfactory. It retains most of the advantages of the GT, and the two wheel systems extend the life of the skateboard. Similarly, the longboard with a higher hardness allows the weight of the skateboard to reach 330 lbs (150kg). In addition, the integrated design packs the battery and ESC as a whole, making the skateboard more sealable to improve the waterproof performance of the skateboard. Although removing the handle makes the skateboard inconvenient to carry, but because of its lighter than GT, removing the handle does not impress its portability.
