Got a Pint-X back when they came out in 2021. Spring this year I was deciding between a GT (before GT-S was announced) or an ADV. I already had the crypto sitting in my account from mining and all reviews pretty much said it was superior. Went with it and I've been very happy. The fact it outperforms the GT-S in both power/torque and range, plus being VESC and able to tune it, full right to repair, etc.... Future Motion needs to reconsider their business practices and being more consumer friendly.
Great comparison! I had the GT and Pintx since they were released. I got the Floatwheel in March. It’s so good that I don’t ride my Onewheel’s anymore. Vesc software is amazing. Replaced the tire with XR Enduro after 200miles. Would definitely recommend it. Stock tire is not very nimble, has very hard side walls.
Thank you! One of the sensors was stuck so it was "always on". If you jump off at speed the board would not know you did and it would ghost. Same thing that happened with V1 GT footpads. This would have been a very bad point but Floatwheel already sent a replacement!
Tony emailed me back to help me with the same issue. If you go into app config, balance on the first tab, and then fault on the second tab. You can set your adc 1 and 2 switch voltage to 2.0. That fixed everything for me. No more sticking on the footpad. They are just super sensitive.
Hello! Yes, Floatwheel has a video with step by step configuration for the Floatwheel. There's also a Discord server where you can ask the FW community about any doubts you have. Once you set it up there's no need to re-do those steps. You can tweak the tunes to your liking using the VESC app, Float Control or Floaty.
If you have the technical skill or a little more money I would say vesc xr (it's a better all-around board) if you want pure straight lining power at the best price floatwheel adv pro. Adding lights can be actually kind of tricky so FYI.
I just had my XR put together using the Thor300 controller/box kit from Fungineers and an 18s2p 50s battery from PickleWorks, and it was worth it. XR is such a great platform and honestly while you'd get used to the ADV, you wouldn't have any aftermarket support for anything really
@@PolarBear002 I was thinking about that setup, did the fungineer controller box work with the Onewheel hypercore motor or you went with the Fungineer motor as well? Thanks.
@@froggerc625 it does work with a hypercore, you'll have to change the motor connection tho, SF and HC are different. I personally bypassed a connector entirely and went for a gland and bullet connectors
@@p0rtugeek I+m also inbetween both the x7 and adv2. People that have floatwheel and funboards tend to prefer the funboard, but i would like to see it compared with the upgraded adv2. Also the weight difference might make a difference, or the tire on the Adv can make the riding feeling to be bulkier..? But i can say i tried the x7 and compared to future motion's boards, feels like a Rolls Royce, very powerfull and surprisingly smooth.
Hi! This was very improvised and we did not record the speed here but it was probably somewhere around 10-15 mph... which doing so uphill is crazy. Next time we will record the speed!
Thanks for sharing. Riders have floatwheel here in uk, but I still don't know anyone with GT-S. Maybe too embarrassed to say, more money than sense. Vesc is the way. FM hates the community. #ffm #righttorepair
Horrible take my guy. FM may not be perfect, but they're doing a ton for the community and to say they hate it, you must not pay attention to the events that happen throughout the year. The only thing Floatwheel has done is deliver a product based on stolen ideas and talk shit on the company he cloned 🤷🏼♂️ there's been 0 contribution to the greater community from Floatwheel
@@PolarBear002 your take. FM have blocked the community and sued them from the start. It's awesome we can say goodbye to FM. Would have been good all along to shout about them, as well as everything else which is amazing, but no, they refuse to face the community. Weirdos. No innovation, the GT-S is a newer v1. While stifling any innovation without threat. Arseholes. They stole the idea, brought it to market. Woopy do. I'll send em a medal
@@PolarBear002 noone has a GT-S but plenty ha e floatwheel and diy Vescs. We have zero suport from FM in UK. Zero chance of me respecting them then. So floatwheel is doing far more than FM now for the community and innovation. Bye bye innit
@@PolarBear002"Stolen ideas" the irony in that statement is almost palpable 😂😂 guess you've never seen ben smithers video with a working one wheel in 2007 or the patent for a one wheel made in 2001
I feel like weight would be a good thing on a vehicle like that, as long as the power is scaled up, You can't kick flip or ollie anyway If they were heavy enough then when the front dives you could jut ride out a Front Manual 🤔
Haces muy buenos puntos en cuanto a compradores extranjeros. FM no envia siquiera a Mexico. Si se jode mi PintX tengo que ver como la llevo yo hasta California. Por el precio ADV es la mejor opcion
No solo eso! También puedes comprar cualquier repuesto individual. Es una opción atractiva para cualquiera fuera de EEUU. Pronto se viene el kit PintV! Pendiente de eso.
Sorry ADV. Won't be paying with my crypto and I don't want to assemble it myself. Change those two things and you might get my business. I'll just pay 4k.
@@MrDmadness Suffer? I'm going to buy the GTSR black friday. I don't work on my car, I don't want to assemble a device my face depends on. I don't see how that is an issue, I would happily pay ADV to do it.
G TV kit all the way, followed by g, t, s, which is a rip-off. Followed by that tank LO. L. You guys don't ever go anywhere other than riding around. Concrete? Doesn't seem like you need that much of a board for such boring adventure.
Good video fell as but I will tell you You're bored will not ghost Hasn't done that in 3 years or so that's more of a wife tail out here in the states. We do nothing but trail riding

FLOATWHEEL ALL THE WAY!
I have a Pint X and GT that I put Floatwheel's V kits into both boards. It has brought new life into both boards. I can not wait to get an ADV2.
That's awesome!
10/10 commentary and review. covered everything twice over.
Thank you!

Thank you! That's great advice. With my very limited time with it actually liked the Forza tire, much more than the Performance Treaded.
Most excellent review. Thanks for doing.
Thanks!
Awesome video! So psyched for my ADV to arrive. Mind if I ask why you said you didn't completely trust the front footpad?
Thank you! One of the sensors was stuck so it was "always on". If you jump off at speed the board would not know you did and it would ghost. Same thing that happened with V1 GT footpads. This would have been a very bad point but Floatwheel already sent a replacement!
@@p0rtugeek oh that's awesome! One way to make time go slowly is to order a Floatwheel. Longest 2 months ever, ha.

question: is there any step-by-step instructions on how to configure the floatwheel?

Once you set it up there's no need to re-do those steps. You can tweak the tunes to your liking using the VESC app, Float Control or Floaty.
I can’t wait to get the Floatwheel
How. do you put simplestop on the floatwheel?
On the VESC Tool app, I think it is called "Reverse stop" and needs to be enabled. It is not enabled by default.
Saving up to VESC my XR I think... Or maybe ADV.
If you have the technical skill or a little more money I would say vesc xr (it's a better all-around board) if you want pure straight lining power at the best price floatwheel adv pro.

If you're not already in them I'd recommend joining some of the VESC Discords, they're super helpful in there
Hey brother, have you tried and compared with the Fungineers Funwheel board (x7 complete kit)?
Subscribe! I will review the FULL kit next month! I'm waiting for the parts to arrive :)
@@p0rtugeek Cool man. Portuguese here 💪!

what is the vmax floatwheel?
Hi, is this the first time you read about Floatwheel? Not sure about "vmax" maybe my english betrayed you there, sorry.
@@p0rtugeek I've already read a bit about this board. I wonder what the maximum speed of this board is.
@@MrPorter1983 Oh! Well I'm not a speed demon but I did get to 22 mph fairly easy and I felt like it could easily go faster than that.
@@MrPorter1983I've gotten mine to just under 55kph, at 95% duty cycle.
soy mas del EUC pero siempre e querido un onewheel pero no los envían a mexico voy a checar este!!
Es lo más cercano a un EUC en formato Onewheel! Tiene mucho torque y autonomía. Te recomiendo los videos de @thefloatlife
I feel like weight would be a good thing on a vehicle like that, as long as the power is scaled up, You can't kick flip or ollie anyway If they were heavy enough then when the front dives you could jut ride out a Front Manual 🤔
am I the only one who likes the whirring sound the GT-S motor makes 😂?

You need to build a Fungineers FunWheel. I have an ADV and. FunWheel. I love my ADV. but the FunWheel is just more fun.
@@bleedsblue05esk8 ohhhh… @fungineers 👀
Did u have to pay with Bitcoin?
As of now it is out of stock, you pay with USDC via polygon network last I heard.
When you bought the Adv, how did you pay. Btw I know its out of stock.
@@KadeKnopp-mn6sm Hi there! It's not mine, they paid with USDC as instructed on the site.
Id buy an adv if it wasnt so sketchy to get one 😅
You can always buy used!
Sorry ADV. Won't be paying with my crypto and I don't want to assemble it myself. Change those two things and you might get my business. I'll just pay 4k.
Suffer away then

@@joshhadley9445they dont assemble them because they cant ship assembled. Its not hard at all to do
GT-S all the way !
ADV is far more customizable, more powerful and has longer range. As you saw the GTS loss miserably
Not if the "way" you're going includes a steep hill and you have a deadline to get up it!
Future Motion sucks
Cost is mad too
GT-Shit
