@@bakeblaker01look at his latest community post website is under attack im guessing legal action from fm on hosting/domainprovider but he gives you the new url and gives you mail adresses to contact
I find it ironic that FM references you as the "Chinese Knockoff" when in reality you are bringing true quality to the community. Thank you for your hard work and dedication Tony!
Yep feels kinda ironic that they followed us on parts choice and calling us kncok off, especially that floatwheel is like almost 2x more powerful than their flagship models. I think, the world is big enough for both companies, there's no need to kill eachother.
Exactly! I think everyone is eager to support the community and NOT corporations. Glad to have people like you around. Keep doing your thing! @@floatwheel
They literally export their production to China. I would rather buy from a Chinese company making stuff in China than a US company doing it because it's cheaper.
As long as there is a high QC standard without cutting corners… happy to pay a higher price if it means the battery isn’t gonna catch on fire while charging etc etc..
Floatwheel XR. Everyone’s dream board. That might totally shut FM down. Don’t let FM suing you go to your head Tony, the community is here for you. We love the work you do and we’re here to support you. Keep these videos coming.
I normally avoid extra long videos but for you I made an exception 😂 - One detail you didn’t touch on is motor heat and the curved magnets. The one thing that impressed me the most about the GTS is its thermal performance. Both the motor and the controller just do not get hot! The Hypercore was notorious for overheating but suddenly with the GTS it was a cool as the CannonCore- and the controller was even cooler than the best custom VESCs! No idea how they achieved it, but they did!
thanks dado! I didn't know curved magnets were so useful but now that you mentioned it, lemme ask the motor factory if they can do the curved magnet for canoncore 2.
I hope this catches Tony's eyes. It seems we're discussing two key points. Firstly, higher voltage leads to less heat generation, and secondly, the impact of curved magnets on heat reduction. From a basic physics standpoint, when comparing two motors of equal power but with differing voltages, the motor with the higher voltage tends to generate less heat. Perhaps Tony could conduct an experiment to explore the effects of heat generation between using curved magnets and increasing voltage. It may be more advantageous to go towards a higher voltage than to go with a curved magnet.
Tony, you're the man. I can't wait for the improvements you will make for the GT owners out there. Thanks for all your innovations in the Onewheel community
As someone who has one of the worst lucks with their GT, this is exciting news!! ...and despite this being a long watch, I learned a lot from this! True passion here, ty Tony!! 🤙🏼
Tony, you are the MAN!!! I want to be first in line for your GT vesc controller kit. I look forward to buying it. Thanks for all the hard work you're doing
Just ordered a Floatwheel last week. Thanks for all of this Tony! Excited to hopefully be able to order a drop-in VESC for my son's broken Onewheel+ board as well
Tony, you are AWESOME!!! We need more people like you on this planet. Keep up the good work. I just got my Floatwheel and I'm loving it. I need a FW controller for my dead CBXR board, please.
Hey Tony, thanks for the updates and analysis. I really dig the fact that you also concede some positives like the better handle on the GT. I really do feel that you care about making the best board in the world. I'm pretty sure I'll be riding one of your boards next summer.
I love you drop in, plug and play idea for putting a Floatwheel controller in your Onewheel! The charge only BMS is great; that is what the community wants. However, you really need to add Bluetooth to it so we can check our battery health. Please!!!
Tony keep up the good work. Innovation and Competition is GOOD for the community! I hope FM is forced to realize that one day and you're able to stop their monopoly.
Thank you Tony for your interest Along with your expertise in advancing one wheeling as many of us are looking forward to the future advancement of climbing agility and speed on one wheels. Future motion advanced the GT your move next, buddy I believe you already Ahead of OW but we have a ways to go. I’ll never forget my mountain biking competition years through the 90s and the evolution of the sport when full suspension bike finally won the cross country race at The pro level In 2012 I bought that bike because I enjoyed the experience both uphill and downhill in the mountain biking and will do the same with OW. I’m currently in modify GT Rider
The only thing I would worry about is all of these drop in kits taking away from developing your own boards. I can't wait for 3-4 new companies to start competing and FM going bankrupt. Here's to your future success 🍻
Tony, I can feel that you are working with passion for the sport as the first thing in mind: not only you work on your own products, you will give the chance to upgrade older products (to which people are still invested) and you will make your future board event retro-compatibile with older accessories You really are commendable, bravo 👏👏 Can't wait to buy my gen 2 float wheel ❤
Jo Tony, as flawless as usuell! Constantly hammering on FW heads, so maybe they wake up one day. you may consider me as beta tester for the v2 electronics. Keep in mind I still run v1 motor as my board is #37. I can run full battery runs on my giant dyno and monitor all temperatures and cells until we hit the bottom line of the packs, or burn something that should not burn. It is just a different way of dyno the board with your and my dyno. Ypurs is more precise on the torque and mine can do endurance on any load. No risk on dyno testing for no one. With the breaks attached to the prop fan, I can apply loads on the fly, simulating inclines of any degree and lenght (no potholes 😂). Cant wait to see 8000w on the dyno !!
Future Motion should send you a fat paycheck for all these improvements. I would like to see a lighter board developed maybe a full carbon fiver one :)
@@ElectricVehicleSpace youre not understanding the cost aasociated. And still no, i have piles of exp with carbon. Aircraft aluminum rails are what you want cause even after strikes its still trustworthy, carbon not so much
Keep pushing the Onewheel-Floatwheel Forward and lead the way in the performance /safety --- I am looking forward to you maKING A SUPER TORQUEY yet 35-mph floatwheel....to rule them all... you are leading the way !!!
Wish I would have known about VESC before I bought a GT. I never would have bought the FM board. The sad truth is most people think Onewheel and all they see is FM. It was months before I stumbled on VESC options thanks to TFL.
@floatwheel I'm thrilled to hear that you'll make a Pint kit. I'd like you to consider a dual battery kit for the Pint. One of the reasons many of us like the Pint is that it can be taken on most airplanes, at least in the US. If you made a Pint battery that was split into 2 or even 3 parts under 160wh each, we could continue to take them on airplanes.
Awesome and informative video. Man, I would buy your GTS except I'm holding out to buy a Floatwheel, especially the one that's like an XR with XR accessories! Maybe I would buy your GTS if you included a Floatwheel in the deal? I have a GT and I'm totally stoked to get the new GT drop in controller. Seriously, thanks for all the work you're doing. This was such an informative video.
The GTS is very good for what it is, which is a tweaked and tuned GT. I'm very happy with mine since I just wanted a lighter weight and slightly and more powerful GT. I don't think FM was trying to fool anyone in thinking the GTS is the next huge release. They literally said it is a tuned GT for racers and those that just want the most out of what the GT platform can offer. Now if you want (or I want down the road) the next leap forward for this type of PEV, the ADV is the obvious choice. It's really awesome what you're doing Tony and I'm stoked so see what Floatwheel comes out with next!
Check out what VOW is doing with swappable batterys. he made a plug that would alow hot swap batterys without the massive spark from the caps.@@floatwheel
@@floatwheelor is it possible to have a hot swappable battery that is mounted near the front footpads or perhaps slides out from the side, that is an additional battery to the rear battery. This will be a battery that charges the main battery but also have more balance but more weight tradeoff. P. S. This will only be used once u reach 50% on Ur main battery and you want more juice. Alla Quest2/3 that allow expandable batteries
@@floatwheeldon't pursue swappable batteries, I put a year into it and it's not worth it 😂😂 Use highest grade cells for faster C ratings and use a portable charger instead
An XR compatible board, lighter weight, with GT range is what would sell me on a floatwheel. I do think it’s important for boards to have at least as good of range as a GT, since that’s what most people have when riding in groups.
Making a lightweight board is a great idea. If I were you I would make the Hub be 5 inches in diameter like what the float life and tech rails are doing. I would try to create some very slim rails in order to decrease the center of gravity and increase the ground clearance.
I want to get a Float wheel adv at some point. awesome work Tony! I have a pint board as well and am curious if you plan on making a drop in float wheel controller for the pint too
The nose scraping behavior is common to all FM boards, same happens on Pint and OW Plus. Has nothing to do with turntilt - on a VESC you can disable turntilt entirely and you won't get this behavior, unless you have a poorly calibrated accelerometer. So it does feels like some kind of IMU accelerometer calibration thing. It's definitely one of the biggest mysteries of FM firmware behavior to me. How hard can it be to keep the board level when turning?? Nobody has ever put forward a viable theory as to why they did it. It must be deliberate, this can't be an accident - but I have no idea why that is.
Gt have turn tilt, Carve 10 and your nose is raising with turning,but in normal modes is not active :) I tested it with rewheel, but I think you can set it in new custom shaping 3.0 too :)
@@kelniEYLI will make sure to try that out next time I'm on a GTS, but I'm 99% sure it doesn't address the underlying issue. Afaik Turntilt is for normal carving/riding - not for U-Turns
My guess is that they did it for a smooth, flowy feel. But after switching my GT to VESC I can agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense after you've experienced what it's like to turn in place without the nose dipping.
@@elbuhdai605 dude,I have vesc and rewheeled gt and turn tilt is in Gt, If you set carve to 10, you can turn on the place like on the vesc with nose raising :) you can feel it,your nose is raising if you turn,like on vesc, I tested it…
Tech companies had to learn the hard way fighting against open source community eventually leads to their doom. Ask Steve Ballmer. FM should work with Tony and not fight him. Thank you Tony for bringing these much needed changes to our favorite PEV
I love the idea of you developing a 1p lightweight boardin a XR format. Is there anyway you can do a 30s1p? that would offer more range and allow for a increased speed without field weakening......
Hello Tony! Are you able to tell if the V2 electronics for the ADV will come with a redesigned front and rear box? I will soon receive my ADV and I want to badger it, but if the V2 electroncics come with new boxes, I will only do the full process on the new boxes when they come out. Thank you for the awesome work!
@VOW is working on a swapable battery system. What are your thoughts on the idea of charging batteries externally like Milwaukee, then dropping them in your board just before your commute or trail ride? I would rather carry a spare battery instead of a charger.
good thoughts, cause the new battery will be around 2kg, so it makes sense to carry a spare instead of a big charger. I will see what I can do about it.
