I said it FIRST on my channel. "Note: " All component sales are final and no returns are available" But I appreciate you bro and all that you do. Now, I'm definitely NOT buying it. I rather just buy the GT-S series with a warranty. $3200. I FEEL YOUR PAIN! Please keep us posted.
My wife bought me the Onewheel GT last year for my 70th Birthday!.. first 20 minutes scared the crap outta me.. I never rode any kind of skateboard in my life! Once I found my stance, tho, I started riding it all over the Mall. I love my GT ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The no returns policy doesn't mean no repairs. If the old motor works, it's something in the new, they should be willing to do something, regardless of your riding it to a nosedive. These things generally last longer than a single nose dive, no matter the speed. Good luck
I only recently made the final payment on my GT...so I'm not ready to take on payments totalling $3200. I love my GT and will be taking my own sweet time wearing it out!... Maybe by that time FM will have all the issues with the GT-S. BTW; I'm 71 years old and never had such a fun toy as my GT. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This sucks Rob, sorry to hear about this. Thanks for making this video and reporting on your experience. Hopefully FM will give you some insight and you are lucky with them. I think they will (and SHOULD) exchange this for you. Let us know. Got any new products coming in stock? How about some floatwheel spares etc?
We had about 20 something motor broken in customers hand, we just send the customer with a new motor for free, even new tires included, I didnt know FM can make such big profit fixing a product that is already overpriced.I guess we are total simps for our customers, joke aside this seems to be that stupid ass motor plug acting up, why would you use a 2mm connector for 100A motor current, that is engineered to be a fail point, maybe it is designed to break right after warranty, that motor plug is either pure eveil or just stupid.
I wish I was close enough to you to give you a Zip for that empty pipe brother. I'm in Washington State. This community only thrives because of people like you and Jeff testing parts for our benefit.
I embellished a little on video , I told them I was riding and had a nose dive . Did not mention speed at which I nosed dived . Sorry about that.. I do know better than that 😌
Its gotta have a warranty man, i would think they should replace it!! U only rode it a few times. I bet they send u another one. Im hoping they do and do the right thing!
Told them you had a normal nosedive and yet here you are on a public TH-cam channel admitting to falling at 30mph. Time to put away the dope and sober up.
@@Floatworld I would still do it. I’m not sure if they’re able to see if you opened it but you will always have 3rd party repair shops as an option. And it might be something simple that you could fix yourself
That happened to my gt when i hooked up my wtf rails. Alls i did was unplug the motor and plug her back in and push pretty hard. Mustve not had a good connection. Maybe thats your prob?
I'll take that purple carbon fiber one if you wana get rid of it brotha🤘 I gave my black one I had to someone who needed it. Anyways bro sorry about your loss with the S-series motor. I just seen another review from Tfl on that motor in a Gt. Top speed wasn't as high as the original Gt motor in the Gt. Anyways man keep killing it with the content & again sorry for your issues with your new motor. $ 850 aint play money 😔 . Good luck with Fm & your warranty on the motor bro 👊
I'm going to put on website right now under used section if you want it . Go to floatworlds.com and I should have it up here in a couple of mins or so . Thank you for the support 👊
Error 6 with stuttering while starting to move is often a hall sensor issue, either a bad connection in the plug, port, pcb, or the sensor itself could have moved out of its slot on the edge of the pcb during the nosedive impact. If FM claims it was caused by your crash, that isn't covered. They typically do not open things up to find the actual problem, just check to see if it passes a test and if not then they will replace the whole thing. Since they won't know what the failure is by looking at the exterior, what are the odds that they will decide it was due to a factory defect versus due to your crash that is not covered? Good luck, but I would open it up and try to find the failure myself unless FM commits to replacing it for free before you ship it to them. If they won't, you might as well try to inspect it for a simple fix before sending it to them.
The 5-inch hub is definitely the best choice here. Not only is it $200 more affordable, but it also provides equal, if not superior, performance. Additionally, it offers enhanced cushioning. I highly recommend opting for the N48 magnets along with the 5-inch hub.
My thoughts. I'm just cleaning my Begode MTEN4 thinking about which EUC to buy next. My Pint is dead, and I'm not going back to FM until they have replaceable batteries. Or I become rich. Hmm I have to get something to make the wheel shiny again...
I predict they give you a new motor after you return that one. They will see this video and find your order and replace your motor. But if you didnt make the video there would be very little chance of replacement imo. Thats my prediction anyway.
Yeah putting that on a stock gt is going to lower the top speed. Jeff just detailed this but I suspected as much from the fm shills touting all of the benefits and not commenting at all on the top speed ramifications. That said I do not miss any of the FM nonsense since switching to vesc 2 years ago.
They will probably fix it for you for “a small fee” 😂😂. You can get the same performance from a 5 inch with n52 magnets according to TFL Jeff. And if you wanted a more stable ride don’t get the 555 enduro get a bigger tire.
You didn't even contact them yet and you're already talking shit about FM. Give them a chance first. All this ranting probably screwed yourself even more.
@@Floatworld You contacted them but already assuming the worse without them even getting back to you. I get your upset, I would be to, but wait till what they say before you start shitting on them.

Don’t have a GTS motor but I do know the feeling 😢 Hope you get it fixed soon my friend!!
Thank you 👊

Yup, it's a defective unit so FM should still work with you to repair it or get a new one.

Lol thank you , but it was not empty 😅.. its sad but if it helps others out on information then I'm doing good for the community I hope
Found him guys!!!! The only person in the world that prefers a 6.5” over 6” wheel!
If you do a free wheel spin on the GTS motor on the GT the free wheel spin is around 30-31 miles an hour on the GT
Why would you tell FM you fell at 30mph!
I embellished a little on video , I told them I was riding and had a nose dive . Did not mention speed at which I nosed dived . Sorry about that.. I do know better than that 😌

My bet is you get a new one quickly.

desperate product release to compensate for floatwheels :D
Also, Love the shirt and thanks the key chain in last order! My Fred shirt is about dead. Need to add that design to your store sometime.
I was thinking about buying it for my GT but after i saw this i'd rather wait to see how fm handles these situations
I would open up the motor and look at the stator see if anything looks majorly amiss. Free>FM support team
I thought about it but I don't want for them to have even more of a reason to tell me I'm screwed 😕

Tried and tried again and still the same problem.

As if my faith in FM could not get and lower
sounds like one wires to hall sensor disconnected. , check em all with multimeter. probably just need to resolder it.

That doesn’t come with a stator though
@@shredlifema9734 yeah I know
Hope the motor shipped with the GTS is built better than the replacement.

dead pint still has resale value, like some like me would buy , fix and ride
NOOOO
You try it on a different board?

Look like propaganda to buy that cheap floatboard

Give them a chance first?! Apparently you don't know future motion.
I did contact them first before I made video thank you . I can rant all I want!! 900 for motor and doesn't work .would you be upset with it ?
😆 🤣 😂 right !!!
