it's the small things that matter. really appreciate tony's leadership in this quality over quantity first mantra. floatwheel will go a long way with this type of passion they are putting into it.
Updates highly appreciated. To be honest, I'm not expecting the footpads, which are covered with grip tape, to be flawless. In fact, after ride #1, they will be scarred plenty. So any cosmetic issues are NON-issues in my mind. Inside, I don't care if it looks like a rough surface or smooth... All I care is that it's tough and won't break, and that the water stays out. Nobody gonna be looking in there. Your attention to detail is superb, but some things it's important to recognize the point of diminishing return on time/energy invested.
You guys are going above and beyond to bring us a far superior product. That is so very much appreciated! These ADV's are going to be a game changer, I'm so psyched!!!
That's a great update Tony. Good to see John make an appearance. For many of us riders we don't mind blemishes in the plastic parts as long as the blemish does not compromise of product durability. But seeing you strive for perfection build more confidence for the community. Give me a week and the board will look well used.
The attention to detail here is top tier. FM themselves doesn't make as much of a fuss to guarantee a $2000+ product is worthy of the price tag. I'm not sure how much runway you guys have, but a financial update would be appreciated. I wanted to wait until review units were out to buy, but if you guys need the cash to keep going let the community know. I know I'd preorder if it meant keeping you guys afloat a while longer.
That’s because they stopped caring when they became popular. Also, there’s no competition so they have a “who cares” kind of attitude, but they’re finally going to have a competitor, and someone who’s very detailed oriented, ngl I wouldn’t have noticed the defects, as they’re so small like the tiny air bubbles but this is great because of the accessories are getting this much detailed work, imagine how the hardware is going to be.
Interesting about the Pint…. Probably why so many GTs cracked and busted. I saw a video recently where someone mentioned replacing their GT bumpers every few weeks 😂 think it was Jeff Adair or one of the float life guys
china is an amazing production focused country, such a shame most of the knowledge and facilities left us in europe... Corporate greed, all for a better profit, but the thing produced stays at the same price for the consumer. I hope you guys keep this industry as quality of life and wages increase over there! I'd love to have it like you guys, able to produce more easily and faster, there's always someone that you can call to produce something, at every scale. Nowadays you have to learn mandarin/cantonese to do something like that and basically live in china. Shout out to floatwheel. This is like strange parts, except you're actually doing something! Also you guys think to ship by the end of april ?
our trip to northern China also includes visiting the motor factory, we will update the motor soon, we just have to make sure the plastic parts are producing smoothly.
One could assume that your pronunciation of GT, which sometimes sounds suspiciously close to "shitty" isn't by mistake. But I'm certain that is merely a coincidence. Perhaps...

Getting live updates from the crew really inspires confidence in the product. Good job all.
Tony, you’re the freakin’ man!!! Thanks for no second tier product. #1 all the way. 🏆

Loving to see almost assembled adv pro) even in that stage with all temporary details it looks like a beast

Yeah, for most of the a perfect bumper isn't going to last long

Tony has got some german in him...if he drives a beams u know he will be making amazing products perfection 😁
It feels like we are a long for a quest at this point.
Cheers, loving the updates !!
It is funny that the Pint footpad is better than the GT one. I would love to test your floatwheel. Cheers!
It will look that much better on the podium 🏆🥇
Nice office for the next two weeks 👌 just above production!
wassup tony! yeah pint kinda is smooth
Looking forward to adv pro
You get a big "Wooow" from Germany!!
yea u know he is making good products if he drives a beams 😊
Looking good! i do wonder what was being blurred out xD
i'm guessing ID badge.
Incredible work, your attention to detail is going to pay off
Damn now I really want one.

Very good!!!
What is the status of the rest of the mechanical/electrical parts ? (Motor, bearings etc)
electronic parts have done production（previous updates）
Will fang wheels be able to be mounted on the Floatwheel? Perhaps consider creating mount points for attaching customizations.
The ejectors must be secured in the ejector plate, it does not rotate and then the end of the ejector can be worked on better.
I know this will be perfect. You won't let it be any other way haha. Thank you.
Let's go!
When could your motor plugs be available to buy?
If possible, please design the bumpers to not have any screws on the bottom. Screws on the sides should be much better.
Have you planned soft plastic pads, for more comfort? optional
QC King 🤘🏻
Just Two Weeks!!
Very nice! Any update on the motor status? Has their been any progress on the 1mm gap issue?
our trip to northern China also includes visiting the motor factory, we will update the motor soon, we just have to make sure the plastic parts are producing smoothly.
Hey Tony, Any "preorders" left? Or is the first batch all taken?
he said maybe a week or 2 ago first batch is all taken
amazin
