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.
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
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
About acceleration: you're 100% right. I can easily overpower my current wheel by overleaning it. But the more power a wheel has, the harder it is to overpower it and fall forwards.
Wheels don't actually have a "top speed" (technically they do but it's impossible to hit), they just have different power. The more power, the safer they are and the faster they can accelerate and the better they can balance. A heavy rider may cut out at 22mph, but a 100lb rider might cut out at 30+.
A heavy rider may faceplant when simply accelerating slightly too fast up a hill too, even at 5mph.
Also, onewheel GTs can easily hit 22 today, and even faster for light riders. People just don't like to ride that fast usually.
(I've been hearing that they're coming very soon for several years)
Maybe if the devs worked with the community more then we could get them, but they don't seem to accept PRs from folks outside their core team anymore (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Out of touch comment.
Handheld PCs are PCs.
$460? That's a damn good deal

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.

But the mini is a great price on eucdeals too

Good, they work great.
Yeah being angry at people buying homes is incredibly stupid.
How about being mad at the NIMBYs who push zoning laws that make it impossible to build dense apartments anywhere.
Gentrification is a word that smart NIMBYs made up to deflect blame.
Screw all housing related zoning laws.
Probably his cell phone spying on him and flagging him on key word searches and texting conversations and other precrime bullshit.
We'll never find out what the evidence was because it will never be made public
We know he had an AR15. That's it.
Hard disagree, he deserved worse. If you assault someone then expect to find out.

I would vote for capital punishment or a life sentence
More practical is debatable. I have a gaggle of PEVs and a bike and I tend to favor my EUC due to not needing to lock it up when I go places.
Still, it is spendy! No argument there
Eskate is cool too!
You don't have to ride at the top speed. My car tops out over 160mph but I drive the speed limit.
Having more motor power just means less chance of a nosedive at any speed.
Why not just ride it at jogging speed?
Hopefully they at least called the cops.
Not where I live. One county I boarder would do nothing, the other that I live in would investigate. Neither would shoot you
Definitely by 2030 probably
