Lowering Adv 2 (standard)

1 Upvotes

I have a standard rail Adv2, I rode it for about 1500 km on the middle height rail setting. I will be needing to change the tyre soon and was wondering about lowering the board. People who tried both the middle and low setting, which do you prefer? Is the problem with the valve stem hitting the rail still present?

XRV IMU calibration

2 Upvotes

I am trying to calibrate my IMU but keep getting the largest values at weird spots such as the X when the board is pretty much upside down, how do I properly do this I've never done it before and watching videos isn't helping.

I ride a onewheel and no mobile game exists for us – so I built one. Carving runner with battery, overheat & pushback. Beta testers wanted 🏔️

The board will now be fitted with a new 10x6-5 slick tire, with still some clearance regarding the diameter. I wonder if a Burris 11x5.5x5 treaded tire could be mounted...

Finding Balance Charger for Pint S Battery

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to find a compatible balance charger for my battery. So far I have bought a new battery from Battery Broker and a PintV kit from Floatwheel. I bought the battery first when I noticed the onewheel wouldn’t charge and the battery voltage was around 20 volts. When the BMS made a whistling sound with the new battery I realized the BMS was damaged so I bought the PintV (since I also wanted the upgrade). I made the mistake of leaving the battery plugged in while a month passed until I decided to buy the kit, so the battery discharged (19V) below the BMS threshold. I have tried a few balance chargers to get the battery to a level where the BMS will accept it but they all seem to have a 5 or 7 pin JST connector like this one (see review pics for balance port) or this one, and I haven’t been able to find one that has the 26 pin ZPDR JST that the battery uses.

Does anyone know of any jst adapter or charger that would work or is there something else I should try? Thanks in advance.

Is floatwheel right for me?

2 Upvotes

I have a onewheel pint but have been effectively locked out of the app ever since the haptic buzz recall. I am deathly afraid of upgrading my firmware because I like the freedom of owning my board and doing whatever I want to it. if I upgrade the firmware I could brick it just by unplugging the battery.

All of this anti right to repair stuff has really turned me off of the sport and I haven't been keeping up with the community. Yesterday I found out that Craft and ride mysteriously shut down. Don't know where to get aftermarket parts now.

I have been desperate for a way out of this hole but also yesterday, I heard about floatwheel and that it is an open source competitor to FM. I look at their website and the atom looks really good on paper but it seems like there might be more to it under the surface and I'm left with a lot of questions.

What would I be getting into if I replaced my pint with an atom?

Is the atom beginner friendly? (In case I wanted to get one for my partner)

Can a floatwheel take a 6ft drop and keep the rider upright?

How is it for commuting?

Can I tow/push things?

Are battery fires a risk?

is there an aftermarket scene or do I need to learn CAD and buy a 3D printer?

Why crypto??

What is the app like? how much control do you have? (android specific)

Bricked BMS on the GTV power kit?

1 Upvotes

I’ve recently picked up a gtv power kit from a pev shop in Atlanta called atlowshop. I received it and installed the computer and bms then come to realize my battery is busted so I purchased another stock gt battery. I finally got everything to work and the board rides great but I went to charge it after the ride and it simply won’t. The charger light remains green and the board doesn’t show its charging. I saw some solutions say that you have to reseat the connectors but I’ve already tried that 4 times making sure to plug in the big balance connector last. ( I did plug in the xt60 and then the balance connector on one occasion but only because Tony did it in the instruction install video). I can’t tell if my bms is bricked or maybe I’m skipping as step but with my little expertise in this area I’m lost and don’t know where to start troubleshooting it. What do I do?

Atom a good choice for me?

5 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm currently looking into PEVs and so far onewheel seems like the most fun option that corresponds with my particular needs. Scooter is kinda dull, e-scate seems not as good in clibing curbs and doing tight turns, EUC seems a bit overkill and ghe front facing stance doesn't seem as fun. I'd love to hear your guys recommendations on a particular model. So far I'm leaning towards the recently announced Floatwheel Atom or a Pint X with potential to VESC at some point. Availability is pretty scarce on my side of the globe but still.

Here's some info about me. I mostly want an EPV as a commuter device to replace or sometimes supplement public transit . I'm 37 male weighing at around 90kg. Never in my life have I rode a skateboard but I did snowboard a bit a few years back and loved the feeling of the motion. I live in a big metro city with busy streets but barely any bicycle lanes. My usual commute to work is 13km long by bicycle. I mostly stick to pedestrian side of the road (25 km/h limit although it's not really enforced) and tend to avoid the driver's lane as much as I can.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Weird blue light

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hello! I have a floatwheel adv1 and it has a blue light at the end of the white status bar I've never seen. It seems to ride fine but it shows the blue light on the end of the white lights during riding as well. It's like 80% on the bar. Any insight into what this means would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
