That looks really nice, I cannot wait when you guys going to start shipping them to the customers, and we will get more reviews on it. Thank you for all the hard work you have done so far
@@chodarthit's available for pint in Canada and EU, shame it never came to other boards. The Helm of Awe made (still I think) a custom open/close fender that's pretty unique
This is exactly the video i was asking for! I dont want to name drop but it looks and sounds like you have way better acceleration and braking capabilities than OW You're comfortably cruising at OW top speed! Love it!
Nice video! What is the status of the motors? Have they shipped yet? A tear down video would be great to see, it gives people an idea of all the internal components.
I’m on the countryside of poland right now (my grandma celebrated her 90th birthday here). I ran out of mobile data and I had to go through some struggles to be able to watch this video. But it was totally worth it! I love the front and rear handles. I was a bit concerned that the front bumper didn’t seem to have a handle. But there it is🎉. And it’s on both sides. Everything on the board seems to be so thought through. And it looks like it’s performing amazingly. I enjoyed this video a lot. Thanks! Oh and the next time I’ll come to the countryside here, I’ll hopefully have my ADV Pro with me. I’m dreaming of it while walking through the forests here 😅
Board is looking awesome. Can’t wait to receive mine. If I may ask, how did you sync up the vesc app screencap with the Insta footage? Was that manually matched up??
Hi Tony. Can we get any sort of updates? The amount of silence has been a bit stressful for us early purchasers and we just want to make sure all is well and things are on track. Stressful waiting for something this long term and having no real idea if it’s almost to us or what to really be expecting. Thank you! Hope all is well.
Have been wondering the same thing. I remember reading it comes in two packages and it could take up to two months for delivery. Patiently waiting but would be nice to see an update
Great video Tony. What is the current status of the first 40 boards? Everything has being sent ? Is the production motor ready? When are posting a video with a production board ?
That fender system is genius!! I love the fact you can have shortys or a full fender and it looks clean either way. Incredible work Tony I’ll be placing an order soon.
Such an innovative original idea from the folks at Floatwheel, who would never dare take anyone else's idea or design and claim it as their own to make profit.
damn that board is looking soooo good! also how long is that selfie stick? I literally thought someone was following you with the camera for like the first 2 minutes lol
Good morning Is it planned to do a tutorial to calibrate the Floatwheel when we receive it with vesc tool or Float control ? or a configuration file to be injected by bluetooth
So what about the gunk and maintaining the bearings? Maybe I should, but I don't currently ever do anything to my bearings on my onewheel and I don't notice any gunk
street rider here. I wanna know the significance of the height adjustments. Because the adv. Pro rails are not as sleek/clean as the adv. So I want to know if it's worth it.
Waited for such a closeups looks since forever! Thanks, even prototype is sexy! Had a question, couldn u tell us about bms stats more? Will it balance cells? On whatt current? How long will it be to balance whole batterypack? Asking beacause now have problems with boosted xr battery which takes forever to balance and its super annoying
Excellent video Tony, board's looking great - love those raw ADV Pro rails! What was the ambient temp? ESC seemed a little hot for riding without any hills. I can't wait to try it in my neighborhood here
and its a 5T sample motor so it might seem esc is hotter than the motor but with Production motor they will be 6T so current will be cut by 20% and esc runs cooler, also considering making an upgrade esc heatsink to be thicker and mounts to topside instead of the bottom of the box, but I'm afraid the smd caps might fall due to their heavy weight
Is there anyway to add wheels to the end of the board like the fangs and at the same time add some retractable handle so that when u run out of battery you can drag it along like a suitcase. The XR is already a heavy thing to carry for more than 1 minute, cant imagine how heavy this thing is gonna be.
If you run out of battery, the best thing you can do is take your shoe laces and tie it around the rear bumper. Then you can pull the board behind you with the battary side facing forward. Never tried it, but saw it online somewhere.
Great video. I would like to learn more about production model waterproofing tests. Rain, puddles, splashes… what is this thing safe in? What is the aftercare and maintenance? Can we spray it with a hose to clean it off?
@@crispypritchett7336Sounds amazing but I'm not 100% convinced until we see some real tests. If the board can really be completely submerged for minutes at a time and be absolutely fine then that's a huge feature
Nice footage of the demo rides! So, how would you remove the fender if you wanted to? It looks like it might be a challenge. What kind of range can you get on the board assuming pavement (w/sample rider weight)?
Wondering what max speed is on the adv pro? I see you hit about 35kmph in this video, which is great. My stock XR can just touch 40 on flat ground with its 3hp motor; surely the 6hp of the adv pro could do more than that if it was really pushed?
Hey since you have the manufacturing stuff you should make cheap rails for the other boards ...also make upgrades ...with battery battery boxes etc...for pint pint x gt and the V1 boards would be dope...we want to vesc old boards that would be cool if you can Help with that
Man I'm excited. I saw you mentioned it was washable, would be good to know if you could test with a pressure cleaner. Will better represent hitting water at speed or the tire flicking water off itself at speed. Then i will feel comfortable that it's water proof 😄
@@floatwheelgood to see you riding with a helmet now. Always worried me seeing you without a helmet in other videos. Gotta protect that big fantastic brain of yours.
@@floatwheel Man, wear something more, palm savers are super critical. And you are testing a new device, you will eat concrete a lot more by the next 10 years lets say. Im just recovering from broken colarbone and ive seen broken wrists and nasty road rash. I can buy you a set of savers, just be a grown man, wear protection.
Can we can some water proof testing please?🙏 And maybe also being a bit tougher to the board? Crashing etc (without a human crashing or getting hurt of course)
Is it the application provided with the floatwheel adv when you receive it and to configure it? Is this application free with the purchase of the floatwheel? THANKS
12.5wh/km is great. By EUC standards, even the very efficient 84V Kinsong perform about 15-20wh/km. Provided the wide tire of OW shaped vehicule, I would have expected more. Good point IMO.
@@timsergeeff Hello Surfdado I ordered a Floatwheel adv and apparently it's going to have to configure the vesc. Do you have a file already configured with the correct settings on Float control ? THANKS
16:27 It actually does not matter if you install tha handle on the right or left. The board is topologically simetrical so you can hold it with the left hand even when the handle is on the right. Eg: Just rotate your body 180 when you pick it up.
@@timsergeeff I’ve watched all the videos and I don’t remember seeing that, but thanks for sharing so I don’t have to go back and search for it. 😂 (Not a joke, thank you.)
Kinda curious how you would remove stuck mud on the fender due to how hard it is to remove? I know with the Onewheel you can make it so its easier to remove for cleaning.
@@Jdb63 that’s great. How sophisticated is the alarm? For example can it be based on PWM or remaining safety margin? Can you create multiple types of alarms, depending on PWM?
@@360vroomers Weird, it seems like RU-vid deleted my response to you earlier. Let's try again... The answer is yes to all of that! VESC is extremely customizable. You can have pushback activate at whatever speed or duty cycle you want (duty cycle being essentially the percentage of the motor's power/torque being used). You can also do the same for beep from the board or even custom notifications and sounds sent to your phone, and you can have multiple different one's for different speeds/duty cycle levels at that.
Lemme know when u wanna hit a 22hr ride with me. I wake up earlier on ride days than i do to go to work lol. Last day started at 3am and went to 930pm. SATURDAYS ARE FOR WHEELING
you love to see the speed im so bummed cause i pretty new GT and i just want this one now my GT was making me want a EUC but now seeing the top speed on this is perfect like 30-35 is a perfect speed sometime the top speed of 20 on the GT is too slow tbh
now the question is do i put money into my one wheel with better rails and one wheels new performance tire aka there version or the enduro and new footpads or sell the GT and get a vesc and then upgrade it from there or just say screww one wheels all together and get a EUC i think the EUCS are badass especially the ones with literal car headligths and suspension and top speeds or 50+ miles per hours you guys should let me know and give me some advice
I have done a few things lately and its helping us speed up the Production speed， I converted a ender3 3d printer into a automatic spotwelder and programed it to spot weld all the battery packs I have created the whole SOP to improve FYR by a looot the first batch is like 60% FYR, now it is around 89% that means we are spending less time fixing problems and the Production success rate is really high right now， still some kinks to smooth out. all in all we can do 270 packs per week at this level of automation. still climbing that Production hill, I'm designing a battery Jig for the automatic spotwelding machine as we speak
@@Jdb63 yup its delayed, will be done before 10th June according to supplier, I call em every few hours to check for updates, They can't seem to get the coating right for a356 aluminium, yup It was very stupid of me to ask em to use a356 aluminum, because a356 even tho being stronger but surface treating is hard, it had all kinds defects and had to be done multiple times, but no worries, they have put on tyres to check for leaking today, since they are on the other side of the country, there's no way to can step in to speed this up, I guess we will just sit and let them perform. To compensate we will do air freight for 1st batch motors
@@floatwheel Got it. Bummer on the motor coating issues but I'm glad to hear an update. Are the motors shipping directly from the factory or are they being sent to your hq first to be checked?
Also, what is considered “the first batch” of motors? Is it the first 100, like a founders support/edition? Can you confirm - have the first 100 boards been shipped already, so we will just be waiting for the motors to arrive? Thanks for the clarification, you’re doing great overcoming these obstacles as they pop up. It’s amazing to watch the growth of @floatwheel .
Unfortunately this is kind of a downer for me because I have an XR and a GT. The GT is pretty much at the limit of weight. It's actually too heavy in my opinion but I keep it for my long range float board. It gives me 28 miles no problem but usually at 18 I'm stopping to break anyway. So this thing being heavier is a no for me.
Great product. I'm going to be building this fall and I'll be ordering for sure. Just one thing. Do not use wd40 it's literally fish oil, and attracts dirt. Bearings are greese packed and should be fine if they are quality bearings. Krk bearings have integral dust seals in them, as do most expensive sets. Adding oil of this type attracts more bad than iT does good, if you MUST use oil, then get chain oil from a bike shop, there are "wet" and "dry variants " wet is for mud, dry is dust conditions, these are statically charged with a negative charge ( wet ) that helps repel dust and mud as waTer is slightly negative in polarity. They dry variant used a different additive.. point is they are much better oils for this use, respectfully:)
Tony, WD-40 isn't really a good lubricant. 'WD' actually stands for 'water displacement' and is more for loosening rusty parts (it not even that great at that compared to Gibbs or Kroil). You'd be better off using Tri-Flow oil or even better, grease it with Krytox GPL-202 and never have to touch it again!
@@floatwheel yeah.. wd40 acts a solvent and strips the oil/grease from the bearing. Need some good seals like badger used to make maybe? High quality bearings should run well for a long time
Agreed, WD40 is a very average product. I have found Applied Industrial Technologies Corrox HD Corrosion-X to be superior to anything, it forms a molecular bond to the metal surfaces and eliminates any corrosion tendencies, even if there is existing corrosion it is neutralized and protected from any further degradation.
