$460? That's a damn good deal

It is a copy of a onewheel :) but fully customizable, as powerful as a onewheel GT S for half the price, and supports right to repair (each part is replaceable).
Futuremotion has tried to sue Floatwheel, but all they get is a middle finger. Floatwheel has no central location, and they only accept cryptocurrency. Patents can get fucked. They can't be sued. I think that's so cool that it's half the reason I bought it.
Congrats!! Make sure to join the discord, and use the floatwiki to set it up.
It's so powerful and stable
The point of the right to bear arms is to have some defense against an oppressive government if needed.
Yeah sorry, I meant that as two separate thoughts. I was saying that while that wheel size isn't for me personally the Patton is still a solid wheel in the commander mini size
But the mini is a great price on eucdeals too
Agreed, it's pretty dangerous, I just love it. I love that I can go anywhere and easily hop up and down curbs.
One of the best features for me is that I can ride on the sidewalk when the bike lane is sketchy, and if there is a pedestrian then I can easily hop off the curb back into the bike lane.
I also love bringing it in cafes and stores without having to lock it up. It feels almost like a skateboard, functionally. I hate having to park and lock my other PEVs.
The commander mini is looking cool, but I think for me I want a larger tire size for stability. Have you considered the Patton? I keep hearing good things
Good, they work great.
ACNH means animal crossing, for anyone else reading this who didn't know. Quite the acronym
It looks kinda good but do you all feel like dunkey is kinda overhyping stuff lately?
Hard disagree, he deserved worse. If you assault someone then expect to find out.
I picked this up a few days ago after my V11 died (fried mosfet or fuse when doing a tiny hop up a curb) because it seemed a lot more durable in performance testing videos.
I've already crashed it once when coming up to an intersection curb too fast, with no damage to me or the S18. And I've already tried hopping a bigger curb than what killed the V11. So far so good. I've also dropped it a few times while practicing riding backwards.
However, the "feel" of it is inferior to the V11 in pretty much every way except for suspension, although the 10lb weight reduction is nice when carrying it up stairs.
I've put about 40 miles on it so far, and I'm finding it more "snappy" than the V11 but less "tight". It rattles and gets speed wobbles a lot easier.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase but I do miss my V11.
I think my next purchase in a year or so will be the V22 Pro, once it's on the final batch and the remaining kinks are worked out (water proofing and suspension slider/roller issues).
Oh and the inmotion app was way better.
S18: 5/5 durability, 3/5 ride feel V11: 0/5 durability, 5/5 ride feel
So I bought a V11 during the prime day sale for $1600, which I still think is a great deal. However I learned the hard way that you can't push that wheel in "fancy" mode. I tried to ride up a roughly 4 inch high curb at walking speed, and it fried a mosfet. Fully dead, can only get power to connect to the app while plugged in. It has rolling resistance, which means fried mosfet.
I returned it to amazon, no questions asked, easy-peasy.
If you have a V11, DO NOT USE "FANCIER MODE" (which lets you pull more power and hit 34mph), unless you want to fry your device. If you don't believe me, youtube "overheat hill V11" to see how fragile this thing is.
So I put a bid on a craiglist brand new S18 and after watching lots of videos on it (including overheat hill) I'm convinced the wheel will cut out before it allows damage to come to the control board.
This setback hasn't deterred me at all. EUC riding is the most fun thing ever, and I cannot wait till I pick up my S18 tomorrow.
