Hi kyle, glad seeing you ripping on it, your tricks are awesome. We are really sorry that the plastic on the board didn't last long, we put too much effort into making it look good, but forget about the impact strength by using too much fibreglass in the pa66 plastic, we are working on a refresh kit that replaces the old formula plastic parts and I guarantee you this time it will take your abuse much better, also the rim&core department gets a massive upgrade by using a improved A356material with added T6 heat treatment，I believe it will the drops much better. BTW the new formula bumper is on the way to you guys, and also the replacement parts for the hub and rim is going to you as well, please shoot us an email if you encounter any difficulty in reassemble it.

You a real one Tony. Also want to add that people should be getting USDC as opposed to bitcoin cause in the span of time that it takes to order that value could drop (*Or go up). Whereas usdc should make that process a lot more streamlined.

@@zanderwitaz going back to GT from adv, feels terrible. GT feels like a polished pint, yep their plastic don't crack but pint motor just don't have have torque. Brittle plastics are just one refresh away for adv, but that pint motor and that 180A mosfet is gonna stay with your GT for life. While adv has a 380A mosfet power stage already and big ass motor, yep I'd still have the same opinion, You d look real dumb to spend 2.5k on GT today while a better and cheaper adv is available.

@@floatwheel I'm all for a GT alternative, and I do respect in some ways what you're trying to do. don't get me wrong. But if all of your plastics are catastrophically failing ( which isn't limited to just bumpers, but controller and battery boxes as well) on top of the very motor you just quoted as superior, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. And these are immediate mechanical issues.( Easy to diagnose...why did they ship??) The community (and you as well) cant know the long term QA/electrical problems that may arise as well. I do want you to succeed, but until you put these products through their paces and fix issues that are more severe than a mere "refresh" Id probably cool off and lay off the cockiness a bit and focus on fixing your product as thoroughly as possible. Until then, even though FM is a garbage company, I wouldn't call anyone stupid for considering a GT.

Is that any less durable than a Onewheel rim would have been? My intent is really just to use it for street and trail riding with some curb drops and nudges here and there, then I'll probably delegate my Pint-X to a trick board if I want to learn some more things.

Because in case of microlocations (like grocery, farmacy, beach,...) it is very suitable. I cannot help laughing when see someone complaining about Floath's weight. My V13 iz 55 kg weight. Floath is light. And hey. I think a suspension is of the greatest impotancy. And I'd like it to be embeded in the Floath as standard offer. Not only the town is hilly, but the infrastructure is disaster. Roads full of ruins, holes... Except those live in Mahattan.
