Awesome test! Thanks for doing it! I like that there’s no fluff. Info straight forward and conditions of the trip. Also same rider, PSI, ETA makes it more comparable.
I had to go back to the previous video to compare mileage and DANG! It’s almost 10 miles difference! 🤯🤯🤯 I’d love to hear more about which board you enjoy riding the most and why.
At around 160 lbs ride weight I got 24 miles with 27% left on my ADV Pro while carving at mostly 15 mph. You’re a real champ for conducting this test and carrying your board for that long. At 25% my body weight I would just leave it there 😳
Great Video Mario, 20 mph ave speed is pretty fast, 23 miles range at this speed is pretty good. I can see people getting 30 miles if they go 15mph ave. I am not sure what the sweet spot for efficiency on these small motor are but would be interested to know. I think I can get 27 miles on your meatpack ave 15mph but thats on a superflux.
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
Looking forward to seeing how your custom build performs! The weight of the floatwheel is the dealbreaker for me, and I'm curious to see how much your custom board ends up weighing.
Custom board is a custom board. Can build it lighter than stock XR if your willing to give up range. The 5" tech rails billet hub is quite a bit lighter than stock. U can even vesc a pint and throw a 5" hub on it.
Floatwheel may be better than the GT/GTS in most ways, but as long as it’s not readily available in the US and the only way to purchase one is with cryptocurrency, it will never catch on like FM’s OW. Not only is that an issue, but having to assemble and program the unit will be a turn for the average user. All these FW vs GTS videos are great, but at the end of the day FM’s Onewheel will still sell over 95% of the time. FW is just not as convenient a board to acquire. There is no real competition when it comes to sales. FM has it locked down for now.
It’s a fair point, certainly. Most folks around me still ride FM Onewheels, and some have ordered a Floatwheel and some have had me build a custom VESC board. Almost all of those people have more than 1 rideable, and so the landscape is still open for people to explore different device choices.
Very much this. For me, the probable 2+month wait is what's turning me off from placing me order. That and the aftermarket market for FW is non existent and would like different footpad options.
Glad to hear it. You may then want to consider a custom built VESC board , with a Shaman Systems VESC, Float Life rails, bumpers, and battery enclosure, holding a high capacity battery I make in NY, managed by a VESC connected smart BMS made in Canada. And assembled by me in my shop, an American worker trying to run a small hobby shop business using some of the best parts the aftermarket has independently developed. As will be featured in the next range test.
Yeah Im all for supporting american products, but when there is a better,cheaper product that I can repair myself. Then im only buying american to put money in future motions pocket. I honestly dont give a shit if they make it. They have clearly shown they dont care about their consumers. Look at all the issues with onewheels and the right to repair. They want youre money thats all. Floatwheel want's you to have a great product. Im not buying american just because Future Motion wants fatter wallets. If they listened to their customers it would be different. Support companies that actually care about the people using and buying the product.

Having two range tests on the ADV is great because it helps demonstrate the difference in range tire pressure can make. Thank you Mario!
More tire pressure = less or more range?
@@officia.liam69 More tire pressure = better range but stiffer ride and less traction.
@@officia.liam69the eternal debate, ride comfort versus range. The lower the PSI the more comfortable ride, but at the cost of ride distance.

🤯🤯🤯
I’d love to hear more about which board you enjoy riding the most and why.
I am 230 pounds and I get on ADV PRO in Manhattan close to 30 miles in range.
🙌 Excited to see the range test for the Galleon (fitting name for a self-balancing ship of state).
I knew the float wheel would demolish the GT S series. Float wheel for the win 📈

Great Edit on those tests! I'd love to see a summary at the end just for visualization. Looking forward to the next video! Cheers
Great as always Mario!

This meeting could have been an email. But i still enjoyed it.

My custom board is fairly heavy, 39lbs about.
Custom board is a custom board. Can build it lighter than stock XR if your willing to give up range. The 5" tech rails billet hub is quite a bit lighter than stock. U can even vesc a pint and throw a 5" hub on it.
You haven't riden a 1-wheel (adv pro) untill you've had to carry it home:)
👍👍great informative video

Worth it over all. I can promise you

Definitely have a point there. Tho the price can sway a lot of people.
I think im sold on this over the Gt-s.
Sounds cool but I'd rather spend the extra money to support American jobs and workers. That's just me though

You could also buy the better/cheaper product and donate the difference to your favourte charity. Instead of jus giving fm profit
