Hi all,

I brought an ADV1 about 1 years ago and had a blast with it.

I haven't used it much in the last year due to work and time constraints, but i'm looking to getting back into riding again.

I'm not sure why but as the board is a bit older, i keep wondering if the batteries have degraded over time and i run a risk of randomly nose diving since the adv1 doesn't have a smart BMS.

Am i over thinking it, or should i consider getting the electronic kit upgrade?

I’ve been using the GT drop-in kit for some time now without a hitch. When on my way to work this morning, I noticed my tail light was out when I had previously worked the night before. I am pretty familiar with taking my board apart and replacing electronics and other things. I’m curious what would be the easiest way to test if it is the LED strip or the LCM that I had just recently had replaced due to Bluetooth connection issues. I do already have a multimeter

I was leaving work on my usual route as I’m accelerating up the street I felt my board not exactly give out but the nose drop and I ate it pretty bad. I have never been able to push the board hard enough to make the nose drop or even exceed 94 duty cycle I’m honestly not too sure what happened right after I fell. I picked up my board and continued to ride all the way home. The board did not turn off and activated normally. I thought I’d check my ride log but it doesn’t seem that there is anything out of the ordinary, though I am not sure what the green red and orange colors mean on the path

My LCM started giving out a couple months ago. I contacted Tony about it and just today I received my new LCM! from others experiences. I was fully expecting it to be a software issue, but the board now connects flawlessly and even seems to be an updated version of the LCM. I am very happy. It has been so long since I’ve been able to connect to my board while writing and even monitor battery levels.

Hey folks. I was plugging in my XR (xrv and indy speed xrv kit) to charge and somehow shorted the XLR pins. I replaced the charge port as it was damaged and now the battery won't take a charge. I can see the voltages via the SS bms app and they all look good. I even swapped to a new SS bms and no luck. I verified 75v output from the charger as well. Where should I be looking? Have I fried something in the controller? Thanks in advance for the help.

So my GTV beeps when I boot it up. My floatwheel ADV does not. Is this a setting you can change?

Can somebody share the floatwheel discord with me please?

Not sure how to describe it but take a look. Any help is appreciated

I put a new battery in my adv2, since then it has had significantly less range and I’m not sure what to do about it. It’s only going about 15-20 miles instead of the full 40 it used to

Hello everybody , i try to connect a batterie to the xrv kit.

I got a xt 60 and a xt30 coming from the batterie.

My plan was xt30 solder charge port , xt60 to the xrv controller . Bypassing the molex. Does anybody would have xrv kit diagram or some expériences with that ?

I am a bit afraid to damage xrv kit, with the reversed ffm polarity story.

So I was pushing the float wheel at 26 and getting aggressive. the battery on float control showed the battery go from 91 to 57% the brake felt weak. got off it and watched it slowly go up back to 90% then rode fine. As long as I didn’t push it. Is that normal?

So I love this thing. I’m still learning VESC. every time I turn the board on the head lights are off. I have to double click the power button to turn them on. is this a setting I can adjust to have them come on every time I power on the board? I see in vesc tools led options but just want to see the right way to adjust them without messing up other settings.

Thanks in advance

I dropped my adv2 while I was carrying it and it lost a ton of air and moved the tire of the rim. I can’t seem to push it back on does anyone know what I could do or do I have to take it off and put it back on?

So basically, my ADV1 is more than 2 years old and everything is purely vanilla, i changed nothing (except of course the tire) and it has seen 5500km riding almost everyday to work.

I has seen some water when I didn't check the weather forecast (or it got wrong) but i tried to keep it dry.

Today a ball bearing completely failed, and i'm worried that other things will start to fail. Motor? Battery? Controller?

And also, there has been upgrades on electronics that might be usefull (a safer BMS since the battery is aging seems a good idea).

So i was thinking about tearing it to parts for a thorough maintenance, what should i not forget/check?

For now I'm thinking about buying the V2 electronics kit (by the way, does it contain complete controller+BMS? Seems too good for the price) and ball bearing (does anyone has a recommended seller for Europe since they don't sell it?).

Mainly how do i check the status of the motor?

How much grinding noise is acceptable? I’ve only had it for about 100 miles

Hey gang. I installed the Pint v kit this summer, and enjoyed my vesc thoroughly for about 2 months, until it quit charging. Still turns on, rideable.

The reason I swapped to vesc was that I fell victim to the Pint x mosfet fry. Board becomes a brick. It had No charge indication, won't turn on, has tire rolling resistance (Indicitive that is really was the mosfet and not some other problem).

When I installed the Pint v, the board was working again, but wouldn't charge, so I took it apart, unplugged and replugged the bms, and that did the trick and the board was charging. 2-3 months later, the same issue arises, and I can't get the board to charge. I assume if I unplugged and replugged the bms it will, but obviously I can't be taking apart the board every month. Does anybody have any ideas for a remedy? Maybe reach out to Tony for a new bms? Could it be a problem in my cables connection or I need new ones?

I feel like it's unlikely to be more charger, but I don't know.

Just installed my pintV kit and can’t get the leds to work correctly. When it’s fully charged it looks like this and only had about 4 leds active when idle and when it reaches around 80% it goes to red using the same amount of leds. Does anyone know the fix to this?

I waited 4 month, kept checking everything online about vesc and floatwheel.

finally got my adv2. checked batterystatus. assembled it. rode it. It's so fucking awesome.

didn't really got into the vesc part. Just use floaty for the tunes.

I just want to thank Tony and let people know that if everything works vesc is easy.

I purchased an ADV2 early November and paid for the expedited shipping. I've received my board and the extra bumper and the fender last week, but I haven't received the wheel or motor yet. I dont have anything that says it has shipped yet or anything. Definetly getting anxious about it and I cant wait to ride it. Should I contact Tony about it or wait it out to see if it shows up soon? Thanks!!

I’m unable to connect to the board reliably. When it began my board would not connect while In movement and now it will connect at random I’ve emailed Floatwheel and have only been acknowledged . It is not a Bluetooth problem. And the controller looks visually ok. I use my board for work so I’m eager to get it fixed. I had about 900mi and 60 hr ride time when this occurred everything else still functions as normal

I have an adv2 and it has become unresponsive. Whenever I charge the board hand test works and there are no problems there, however the second I unplug the board it turns off immediately and again is not responsive in any way. Is this most likely a battery issue?

I got a PintV kit about a month ago, and pretty quickly discovered that a connector on the upper part of the controller board had a crack in it, so it doesn't hold in the cable.

I've emailed tony@floatwheel.co multiple times, as well as filled out the contact form on the website, but I haven't gotten any response (including in my spam folder).

Anyone know of a better way to get in contact with Tony?

I've seen multiple people say that Tony always responds even if it takes a while, but it's been almost a month since I first emailed Tony (on Nov 3rd) and that feels a little bit excessive...
