- I got me feet on The Floatwheel that my good friend let me try. I take it for a spin in the snow because that's the only option at the moment. I share some of my thoughts after my first ride.

Now you know why there’s so much love for the Floatwheel 😏. Total beast with complete customization.
Thanks for your honest review, that’s more appreciated than you know.
yeah vesc software is really cool.
That's almost exactly the review I expected. Onewheel, Floatwheel, whatever, just get out there and ride. Thanks Scot.
so true. Just enjoy the great out doors.
As an AVID Floatwheel rider I'm incredibly happy to hear a positive review coming from you. I anticipated that youd be more so biased towards FM boards. So i truly applaud you and your quick Floatwheel review. Glad you really got your feet on it finally. I truly adore my Floatwheel, even have a second one coming.
For real tho, i thought you were going to just crap on it and you didnt and you remained honest. Good job dude!
And yea, the amount of things you can adjust in the VESC software is incredible. You'd have a blast really getting in there and tweaking to your liking. Also, that motor inside it is INCREDIBLY powerful.
Love this video, Scot!

I had fun riding it. That said still love my Onewheels from FM. :)
@@ScotMendenhall that’s fair! :)
@@ScotMendenhall I love my onewheels and my FW! I will also say it's really simple to save/switch tunes on the VESC software but there is definitely a learning curve to the settings. I'm a huge fan of a lot of things about the FM ride feel and I think I recreated those in my tune, with some better hill capabilities (but you basically don't notice the ATR kicking in at all). I'd like to see both succeed and think the competition has been a net positive.
Yeah I just can't bother with OneWheel anymore, FM has lost it. They are suing everyone as of recently, super aggressive, stifling many aspects of floating communities - they're disconnected and all about greed, ignoring major issues going on for months/years, and trying to create a space where only they can exist. FM wasn't the original creators of the OneWheel design either, Louis Rossman covers this really well. I can't support FM anymore. In short, got a FloatWheel in, ridiculous power, and it is climbing mountains/hills I never thought possible in NC, that my electric board couldn't even climb which is ridiculous. To each their own, glad we're all floating, I just can't justify supporting them anymore, and I don't want to feed their faux-like founderism rampage.
the turn tilt turn to 7 is the first time I realized I can not ride it without turn tilt, it just feels way more locked in for carve
Tony the legend himself. Another great review. 🎉🎉❤
Tony in the houseeeeee!!
We love you Tony!!! Thanks for making such a sick board. When are the V2 electronics coming?
When are the new boards going to include them?
Tony the cheap chinese knock off
Is he talking about turn tilt and ATR? Once I experienced this I literally can't go back to my GT. The Floatwheel just keeps it's nose up all the time and rides through everything. Its like a cheat code.
yeah that was a fun little gem.
Floatwheel post! Lets goooo Scot! Thanks for posting.
There are so many little features that make it a super fun experience when riding vesc. The more you ride vesc the more you love it because of all the features you find as you dial in your personal tune. Glad you got to ride one!!
I have never rode any board with Vesc so that was a fun part of the ride.
As a person who tried the floatwheel and admire the work of it I thought is a great ride and the torque of the board is a game changer but that said I whould not switch from GT to a floatwheel. I am happy with my GT and I love to ride it.
Good to have options!!!
Yep i love my Onewheels. There's nothing like it.
The awesome part is the floatwheel is cheaper than a GT
Scot, so pleased with your unbiased review. I’m loving my ADV boards, but also enjoy my XRs. Wifey thinks the PintX is the best all round board for her. Both great products, and I hope the innovation benefits the rider community. Onewheel have nailed the simplicity factor, pull it out of the box and ride, though for us tinkerers I’m loving Vesc.
I love my ADV as well but definitely have a soft spot for the pint X - the potential drop in electronics that are being worked on to vesc the pint X sound perfect. There were claims of GT-S power with that swap. That with some W rails might make the pint X my slightly preferred board again. Just feels gimped by the FM software/firmware right now
@shanelibeau9040 love seeing your name in the comments of our videos and live streams. We are big fans of your family and speak of you offen. Thanks for showing up and being apart of our community
Get out and float what ever you ride have fun ! Thanks Scott for letting me rip your boards it was fun even with no sleep!
thanks for riding with me.
Loving the yearly beard brother. Looks a little greyer this year.
ha yep each year it looks more like Santa
That thing is awesome! Looks really comfortable in the snow 😮
It is!
omg it finally happened...he is riding a VESC!!!
lol yep rode it. pretty fun.
This is the review I was waiting for
Finally, you talking about Vesc without it just being you speculating about what you might/might not like😉
Making a "save" of the settings (called quicksave) is as easy as saving a radiostation on an old radio, just hold down the button and name it, and you can just go crazy or modifications of your tunes
Hasn't it been proven enough that FW outrides the GTS in everything yet? Speed, hillclimb and corner turning
Thay you went out and couldn't find any hills that the GTS can't climb only tells you didn't go steep enough, where the FW would have climbed through
The nose looks really high on that board tho, you should have had your friend help putting it down a bit (like a 30 second setting thing)
Hope you'll give it more honest goes when the snow is gone, and have a bit of help tuning it to your liking, cuz it does have a bit of a learning curve, and the free feeling you have when you have the ability to change pretty much every setting + you can still adjust your riding posture, one doesn't exclude the other, but is more in the realm om 1+1=3
Good to see you varying your coverage. Great review!
Thanks!
If you have access to a floatwheel I'd love for you to review my FW tune. I think it rides like a FM board cranked up to 11 (looser tuning style like mission, pacific, etc.). I also think my ATR settings are subtle yet effective. I also think the foot fatigue is from too stiff of a nose in the tune.
that sounds awesome. I was riding my friends board and so I'll point him to this comment and see if he want to download
@bsd103 what's the name of your tune? I'm building my first VESC and would love to try it. Nice review, @scotmendenhall !
👍👍 honest thoughts man
Look what Future Motion is forced to do with their firmware and feature additions now that they have some competition (that they are trying to stop obviously).
Very cool there is options other than future motion!
great!
After putting it together, do you feel you need to badger it up? I’m looking at ordering one, but not sure how sealed up it is. Thanks
Niiiice
Woa! Scot on a VESC!? 😆
yep I was ha
You have to tune the ATR to your size.
Awesome! Thanks for your honesty! FM will not be happy about you saying nice things about the floatwheel though. Good luck dealing with that.
Haha FM can kick rocks!
@vasilelupu9997 ya, that's how I feel too. But Scott may feel differently as he has a relationship with at least some of those guys at fm.
@chrisc790 and @vasilelupu9997 They being FM love to see others creativity. They are very kind on all topic. They are good humans. Love those that work for Onewheel.
@@ScotMendenhallthey will probably blacklist you for this video.
They absolutely hate the VESC and certainly the Floatwheel community.
@@ScotMendenhall FM loves to see others creativity because they'll steal the idea, patient it and call it their own. Like "gradient tracking" (VESC ATR), soft foot pads (Kush from FloatLife) , and the OW in general (Ben Smithers).
Totally off-topic, but is the beard seasonal?
yep very cold here and I am outside all the time.
Is the battery life long?
Yes it is, I’m 110kg and get 45-55km range
Also made from Molicel batteries, the best you can buy.
Sounds great, but do I still need a battery protection board?@@shanelibeau9040
@@shanelibeau9040show me 45km lol dude, maybe if you ride 15km/h all the time, I have adv
I don't know that. i was riding a friends board
Where do I buy in the US?
I have no Idea. sorry this was friends board
1:45 "Let's get outside and mob this thing."
Can someone explain what mob means? Thank you.
Mob = send it, ride it hard,
@@ScotMendenhall Thanks for the clarification.
Day 2 of asking for a onewheel
Good review. No need to be biased. Floatwheel is nosediving as a company anyway so just let them down easy. They had a cool moment tho.
What do you mean? How do you know?
@@dogbog99 in all sorts of trouble and what not
@@dogbog99He just loves to bash FW even tho he doesn’t even own one. Ull see @dezh2544 on alot of FW videos talking shit. Btw don’t bother replying to him, very unreasonable.
If you respect capitalism and the free market you should never support Future Motion as what they have done to Tony's Floatwheel with their lawsuit is nothing but pathetic.
