Firstly, ignore the account name, old account, didn't want to register but had to to watch videos back in like 2009. 6:10 hey that's me, I am that 'little lady'!. I recently hit 40.5 again and it was at 85% duty cycle going slightly downhill. I weigh about 140 currently, and this was on an 8psi 7x11.5in Burris TX-22. Thanks for the shoutout! Was a pleasure meeting some of your crew (Elijah, Jesse, and old crew Bodhi!) down at Hflux. I don't really post often, not a social media person at all, so I'll just say it here: Thanks for all your content. Thanks for supporting right to repair. Thanks for your time, dedication, and hard work. But most importantly, thanks for never forgetting your community. As you say yourself, Float on my Friends ^_^

When it comes to power, torque, speed and range ADV PRO is almost half more powerful than GT S. Jeff why don't you say it like it is? You can see if in the speed test how much faster and farther it got. Come on bud!

[@sdmods619]

Don't get careless. Do what you have to to ensure your product doesn't get stopped at the border. Even if it means that delivery remains a black hole with more delay than bearable, you have to play it safe.

[@jaefrmbk2k]

ty Tony. lookin forward to that V2 BMS & all your upcoming innovations

[@user-me6nm6mz6i]

I am a GT user in South Korea. Within a month of purchase, there was a breakdown that caused the power to fail, and it was so hard to send GT to the U.S. for repairs. Air delivery asked for more than $1,000 one-way, and it was even impossible due to battery issues. After all, it takes 2 months just to send it by shipping. Shh. I'm exchanging emails with TONY for the next one wheel.

[@h8GW]

Also VESC your FM board so it doesn't become a useless doorstop.

[@bigfut1234]

The same story in Europe.

[@robras2850]

Buy a float wheel and you can do repairs yourself save 💵

[@rafelOrCo]

Smart guy

[@MMDCLXVI]

That's one of the reasons I'm hesitant about getting a onewheel. Aside from how expensive it is, close to €3000 for the GT (Ireland), there is also the issue of what happens if the board breaks. We have the right to repair in Ireland (well, the EU), but if I have to send it back to America for repair, the question is, is it even worth it. Would it cost me just as much to ship it, get it repaired, and then pay for delivery (and likely custom fees) Then it would be to buy the ADV pro. On the other hand, I could buy the GT from an Irish store, but ADV, I need to purchase it from China, pay delivery and whatever import tax/fee customs. And Irish customs love slapping you with massive import fees. For example, I purchased a set of Lego lights from China, the lights, including delivery, cost €110. Custom charged €50 import fee. I can only imagine the field day they would have if I tried getting the ADV.

[@SMASHINGblargharghar]

I’m new to onewheel, what is this criticism that I keep seeing about onewheel? What is wrong with them?

[@ArchangelMichael94]

@@jacobtirk6438 They have a lot of practices in place that are pretty anti-consumer. They sue into bankruptcy anything too close to a Onewheel, which makes it harder for third parties to make parts. Want to make different foot pads, you better plan on making the rear only cuz the front sensor is theirs alone. Want to swap out a battery? Good luck if you disconnect that cable you're likely, if not certain to brick your board. Need work done? Sure there might be plenty of shops in your area capable of it, but they want you to spend hundreds of dollars on shipping it to their 1 location in the world that can do it. Shipping is no problem for you? you better hope that there is no sign that you or anyone has touched something in there that they don't like, or else they might just send it back to you without doing any repairs. Sadly the list goes on :(

[@asddfdsdf]

I love that there is finally actual competition for FM. They were the only name in the game for far too long and this will finally encourage better features, performance, and price. Their GT-S price is out of hand. I've been waiting to get away from FM and their anti-consumer practices

[@Zetler]

It must take a ton of courage to publish this video considering recent events. Surely Jeff is persona non grata at FM by now at best.

[@tom.m]

That's been true for years. FM won't let dealers sell accessories from other brands, blatantly rips off Jeff's products, and has tried to use their lawyers to stop TFL from even making accessories. Huge respect to Jeff for remaining classy and diplomatic despite all FM's bullshit.

[@jaefrmbk2k]

Loved how you accurately critiqued FM's repair process 🏆

[@g00-eye10]

Thank you for the video! I don't care if floatwheel is heavier. I'm turned off by Future Motion's ( 1980s/90s Apple Computer proprietary ideals. ) Which is why to this day I don't buy Apple products ( you're way too young to know the ordeals of dealing with apple to proprietary stuff versus IBM and IBM clones computers.) So to Future Motion I say change your ways before consumers start to hate you and to Floatwheel I say... You're my IBM clone of electric one wheel boards, keep the fight going and thank you!

[@MrDmadness]

Agreed 100%. I am old enough to know Apple as well. Why would you make boolean logic that flips a true to false and then flips it back in the end lines? It takes more time to process, but hey it does make stuff proprietary ;) Now I'm just waiting for people to shit on me here.. reality is harsh :) Fomf

[@GPeter7]

Future Motion it's the worst company to deal with, especially on the warranty repair, at least in my case, they will try to find any excuse not to fix it, first, they tell me that my GT it's over a year old from the day of purchase and it is out of warranty, I tell them to please check again date of purchase on the original receipt the one I submitted, after that, they replied yes we can fix it, but I would have to pay for shipping cost, if it's a warranty repair why do I have to pay for shipping costs? especially since I'm in the United States, I would understand if I were in a different country, but I never get a straight answer from them about that. So I decided to fix it on my own, and never support those greedy bastards again

[@crystalfrancis218]

Thanks for all you guys do for the community. Much ❤️

[@dahlgren]

Freaking love my Float Wheel! After being literally let down and dropped multiple times by one wheel, I'll never go back.

[@ChristopheGUIVANT]

Well now things are clear thanks to TFL. Floatwheel has built something equivalent to Future Motion with a different way of doing things, that of listening to users just like TFL does so well. Long live to the great Future Motion and the baby Floatwheel in healthy and respectful competition!

[@sylrider]

Except it’s already war between the 2: floatwheel clearly enforced patents (that are BS anyways) and FM suing Floatwheel. 😅

[@MrDmadness]

I buy the floatwheel because tony IS part of the community. His board is more power, user repairable, faster, cheaper, and fully customizable. Plus tony will never brick your board with an update or steal your components. Future motion is dead to me ( this is me im not saying you have to do or think as i do, i just present what ive experienced and know ) over 30,000 km ridden on xr model boards is my exp with onewheel, evey bowrd had issues ( self repaired ) some minor, others more major ( my v1 lives at the bottom of a rapids section of river due to ghosting Fomf

Yeah for sure, like Jeff said if you don't know exactly what to change and what to change to make other changes, it will buck you while riding. Gt s shaping is great, not quite as good as vesc, but at least its simple

[@smokeyBJJ]

It’s a super simple initial setup if you can read and follow steps. Once it’s setup you can easy upload many different tunes with a click of the button. There’s no real need to learn what each setting does, altho you will eventually begin to understand. Don’t be intimidated, it’s so worth it! I’m coming from and xr, and gt

@@smokeyBJJif I am coming from pint to GTS and don’t know anything about shaping and custom can you dumb this down for me? Haha just trying to understand that is all 😊

[@MisterNutty]

@@Mase32 Smokey is contesting that vesc isn't that hard to set up (which I will agree with but still not as simple as clicking buy on a website and getting a functional board at your door.) For your situation of pint to GTS, I assume the pint doesn't have custom shaping? I don't have one myself to check. It's just another shaping profile but you have several settings you can tweak like "aggressiveness" and "carveability" which change how the board behaves.

[@Jameslangford-rc6sw]

Also in a years time adv will prob have just as much parts and upgrades if not more because open source no lock ❤ Fm did thus to themselves but the sport needs to grow and it does that with or without them.

I would add that if you live outside of the US and you are able to repair things yourself, the adv is gonna be the better choice I live in Italy, any one wheel would cost me their full price+import taxes+international shipping (which are both A LOT) and if anything brake I would have to pay both TWICE AGAIN to ship the board to repair The ADV for almost half the price has better performances, better tunability and can be repaired with less money Also I see nobody talking about the potential of the cannoncore motor: while I feel like the hypercore motor is reaching its full potential in the GTS, in the future with better batteries and controllers, the cannoncore motor could give so much more, that's why I look forward to see the ADV gen II I think getting a GTS is worth it only if you don't want the hassle of buying with crypto and assembling the board yourself, and still, personally I would be inclined to buy a normal GT; getting a stock GTS in Europe would end up costing me almost 4k, it's just too much....

I must say, I'm not a fan of the right to repair issue with FM, or going after Tony with lawsuits. The more competition, the more innovation. But at the end of the day, i dont think we should be splitting up one of the coolest communities I've ever been a part of. These boards have changed mine and my friend's life for the better in so many ways. I think the best board is the one that works best for your situation. And I dont care if you got a FM, ADV, or any VESC, you can ride with me anytime, anywhere! 🤘

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

Please consider talking or posting more about the differences between the ADV and the ADV pro other than the rails on the ADV pro an adv bigger battery for adv

[@Buckydoe31]

Jeff’s the best

[@brianres]

Would have loved to see an XR VESC in this side by side comparison. It is also an option to consider.

[@3tch3r]

Why not a XR with a superflux motor? In all honesty the hypercore motor is not very powerful compared to the other stators out there

[@richardpalan]

Nice comparison, do you have any experience with onewheel gts max amp charge for "aliexpress" charger? Original hypercharger says 3.5Amps so would it be save to charge at least 4 amps at 113v?

[@eekdestroy5329]

Great video as always, fair and considered. I love my GT but I spend a good portion of each ride worrying that it's about to die and become a paperweight. I don''t think I'd be too concerned if I had an ADV, knowing that I could fix it myself with parts ordered from FW. I think if you don't happen to live in the US this is a major concern, knowing you'll have to send it back to FM and pay a mystery price for the hopeful fix. I'd much rather keep my broken board and order parts and fit them myself. If you live in the UK and your Onewheel breaks the only sensible (cost) option you have is to sell it for spares or repair. Then buy a new one and repeat the process. With the Floatwheel you could potentially keep the same board for many many years as you repair it yourself as things break over time. I honestly don't think I'd buy the GTS even if it was cheaper than the ADV because I'd still have that worry that it was about to die from some unknown problem and I'd have to give FM yet more money. I don't want to be FM's bitch anymore.

[@hackjealousy]

Any tfl products in planning for the adv?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

When it comes to power, torque, speed and range ADV PRO is almost half more powerful than GT S. Jeff why don't you say it like it is? You can see if in the speed test how much faster and farther it got. Come on bud!

[@jinkiescoob]

Time for the ride footage video!!

[@douglassebold213]

Im curious why they haven't made any of the newer boards waterproof yet? Can you hose it off to clean it?

[@idkimnotsure1960]

I was quoted 400$ just to send my XR in for a repair, a repair that i'd love to do myself if they'd only sell me the fkn parts. Also its a huge hassle when you live in Europe.

[@froggerc625]

With the amount of power now available being pretty much all you could safely hope to harness on a onewheel tyoe platform, it makes me wonder what improvements and variations will happen in the next decade to the platform.

[@jaefrmbk2k]

lighter weight, more range, more safety features & I believe, even more amps, volts, torque & speed are on the horizon ⚡️⚡️

[@smokeyBJJ]

I was finished with FM when my GT died with 28% battery left. They wanted me to ship my board from Canada to California and wasn’t going to cover repairs because I had WTF rails. I decided to not send it in, and instead I disabled the “Charge to 90%” feature on the OW app and guess what? My battery now gets the range it’s supposed to. I swear that 90% feature is there to unbalance cells and cause users problems so they have to contact FM. Altho my GT now works properly, I no longer ride it and only ride my ADV now.

[@tanmaybhattacharya9749]

Tfl X Floatwheel is what we need

[@TheHitman-]

Im selling my 140 mile XR + has a spotless black fender and fangs 2.0 and rear skid plate. Board still looks new.

[@GiovanniGiorgo]

I went ADV, and I’m so glad I did. Crazy power, fair price, unlimited customization and I can fix it myself. The ADV is 100% not for everyone and in many cases the GTS is the better choice. 2 different products for 2 different markets.

[@MrHenk777]

Hello! Can someone write from which site I can order Floathwheel? PS: Very good job Tony!

[@11perception]

Can you show static torque test for both?

[@itsnotzura6859]

I peep a new tire in the back

[@antecboy]

As an electronics engineer who is very into designing my own stuff and taking ownership of items that I buy, Futuremotion is essentially a no go for me from the start.

[@user-oe5kf7vy9d]

I had an issue with my board, sent in into FM had it back in almost 5 days. They were super quick. But yeah I still kinda wish I could just fix it myself but its not a big deal for me personally

[@nicourban8007]

Because you don't live in Europe 😅

[@tom.m]

I sent a board to FM for repairs. It was gone for two months and there was no word from FM. When I emailed them asking what was up suddenly the board was in the mail on its way back. Pretty sure they straight up forgot to send my board back until I asked. They also tried to get me to send it in without telling the shipper it was a hazardous item. Oh, and the problem reoccured within 200 miles, at which point the board was out of warranty due to mileage. FM said the repair itself wasn't warrantied. If I wanted it fixed again I'd need to pay, and they couldn't tell me how much it would cost.

[@demonhogo]

Not a fan of floatwheel yet, but maybe in the next few versions

[@TheFloatLife]

That's fair! What would you like to see in future versions?

[@justh0dl]

XR type body, pint weight and watt hours so you can take it on an airplane. Also the bigger footpads. As a size 12, I am *not* a fan of the smaller style/pint like footpads. I'm not a range demon. Make it a pocket rocket, glorified grocery getter / shredder and I'd be all over it. 35 lbs on the GT was already too heavy and the floatwheel just continues the trend of heavyweight boards which is a full stop for me. Also I don't understand the hate for the 6.5" hub. I don't ride trails much but I love the look of the bigger rim + how wide the tires can get. For example the performance tire is even wider than the Vega on the XR and I *love* it. I do appreciate that on the GT-S (which I own) FM went lighter and not heavier. That's how we should be going as an industry IMO.

[@demonhogo]

@@justh0dlall fair points

[@demonhogo]

@@TheFloatLifefor me it’s mostly just them being a newer company still. I didn’t buy OW immediately when it came out either. Let’s see how float wheel behaves over time. I bought meepo a few years ago when they had a similar dynamic to Boosted and I was burned by it. Ecosystem and aesthetic are important to me so I still like OW, but I’m rooting for Float Wheel

[@jaefrmbk2k]

​@@TheFloatLifethe upcoming smart BMS, more torque, more volts, more speed (sorry not sorry lol), lighter, better aesthetics, shorter range no problem, higher price no problem

[@cwthomas]

Just from watching videos, I had always seen that the downside to the ADV was durability. Is this still true? If you are continually slamming it against curbs, parking blocks, rocks etc will it crack or come apart? Also how do they both handle moisture (without a badger kit)?

[@nicoaleman]

From what ive seen the new plastics are significantly better. Not BANGs or anything, but at least comparible to stock FM bumpers from what ive seen. Grain of salt, just going off of word of mouth, I haven't tried the new plastics myself yet
