  • Alright, dude, let's catch this wave on how to snag yourself a VESC BEAST called the Floatwheel using Coinbase until you can. Here's the lowdown:
    Summary:
    1. Intro: So, we kick off with some gnarly news about this lawsuit between Future Motion and Floatwheel. But hey, let's back Tony and his Floatwheel creation, alright? We want that value creation process to be accelerated by competition. GT-S boards are out for a reason too.
    2. Coinbase Account? No Sweat!: Here's the deal on setting up a Coinbase account, both on the web and the app. It's like taking care for your board - gotta do it right.
    - Paddle over to `coinbase.com`.
    - Hit "Sign Up," choose your account type, and fill in your deets.
    3. Security's the Key, Bro: Don't get wiped out by hackers. Use an authenticator app, not just SMS, for that extra layer of chill.
    - Lock in your email, set up two-step verification (go for the authenticator app for extra security).
    4. Verify to Ride: Make sure you get your identity verified quick. It's like showing your ID at a party, just part of the process.
    - Complete the identity check with your ID or Passport or Driving License.
    5. Load the Wallet: Hook up your bank and card for the moolah moves.
    - Link your bank or card to fund your crypto adventures.
    6. Snag Some USDC: You gotta get USDC, that's the coin of the realm for Floatwheel. Buy it or swap other crypto for it.
    - Either buy USDC direct or swap other crypto for it.
    - Make sure you have enough for the Floatwheel, think around 2 grand if you'll buy an adv pro.
    7. Cruise the Floatwheel Site: Next, hit up the Floatwheel site, sign up, and pick your rad ride.
    - Set up your account there.
    - Browse and select your dream Floatwheel.
    8. Seal the Deal: Finally, finish your order and wait for Floatwheel to hit you up for payment.
    - Head to checkout, fill in the needed info.
    - Wait for Tony from Floatwheel to send you a payment request email.
    - Once Floatwheel reaches out, use your Coinbase USDC to pay up.
    Check here The Canadian Floaters video on how it looks like when you pay up:
    • Floatwheel ADV - Payin...
    - Keep an eye on your order and get stoked for your Floatwheel to arrive.
    9. After you payed, just sit back and relax!
    So there you have it, my wheel-heads - your guide to buying a Floatwheel with Coinbase. Ride those digital waves and soon you'll be carving it up on your new Floatwheel. Stay stoked! 🤙
    Step 8th run down time can differ customer to customer since it is a much smaller team than what FM's got. So be patient and look for the hints I tell in the video. The delivery process based on your location can vary but I would say approx. 2-3 months to be on the safe side.

    Since yesterday I got the coinbase commerence purchase link in 12 hours but I told Tony to cancel my order since it was done for educational purposes! So you don't have to wait so long for that link!

    Future Motion didn't invent the onewheel. Louis Rossman did a video on it recently. The original patent was in 2001 by Ben Smither and put together in 2007- and Kyle Doerksen took that idea and commercialized it, but the onewheel PEV idea is not his.

      Yes I know. Still he got it locked in tho as it seems.

      Actually the 2001 patent was from Segway, Ben Smithers was the first to build one and then one or two others built them under open source licenses and there was even an instructable for how to build one posted. I have a feeling Kyle just copied that instructable and then turned it into the kickstarter project, the timeline certainly seems to suggest that.

    Thanks for sharing the video, I live in California 1.5 hrs from FM, I ride eskate and also have a few EUCs from KS and Inmotion, I like the idea of having options that's why FM doesn't appeal to me. Do you regret the purchase for the floatwheel?thinking of purchasing one, on the fence because get better range and speed from my EUC but am a snowboarder and love the stance of a OW

    Future Motion obtained a patent for their product. It is crucial to note that, in accordance with the law, it is strictly prohibited to engage in direct competition with a patented product. Engaging in such activities is considered illegal. However, there may be a potential opportunity to develop a competitive product that sufficiently distinguishes itself from the patented one, thus avoiding any infringement issues.

So I wish for them to get to their senses and regain trust within the community. So you are wrong my friend ✌️

      @gergosnoo IDK, I feel like a onewheel(lowercase to use it as a generic noun) would've been brought to market by someone eventually, during the rise of personal transporter EVs. I mean, look at the electric unicycle, which I find _far weirder,_ but has a pretty big segment of the market already.
