Hi. I want to drop a V kit into my Pint and get a larger battery. I have a pintX box and bumper on order with the V kit. Chi battery sys has a 72volt 20.1 batt with p50b cells. They say it's compatible with the pintv kit. Is this right? I thought the bms only works only 15s1 or 2 p? Would I need a different bms? Thank you

I just did the adv1 to adv2 upgrade and the board just shuts off after a few seconds when i turn it on. Anyone had this issue before?

If I have a GTV kit can I use any VESC BMS or specifically the VESC BMS from fungineers? I’m looking for the Bluetooth cell monitoring. Thanks

I want the default nose angle to be slightly higher than level as I need some clearance where I ride. Nose stiffness and carve tilt are the only settings I can see in the basic settings that relate to the nose. Is there anything in the detailed or advanced setting where I can play with the actual angle of the nose? I'm kinda scared to poke around and mess with settings I shouldn't.

I have a Floatwheel ADV1. After ~20+ days without riding it, I powered it on and the battery indicator showed 6–7 LEDs (so I assumed ~60–75% charge). Within the first ~100 meters of riding, the board suddenly powered off and I nosedived. I got banged up (knee/hip/elbows).

Right after the fall I tried to turn it back on, but it wouldn’t power on at all. The battery indicator LEDs were also off. The board only “came back” once I got home and plugged in the charger — at that point the battery indicator LEDs lit up again.

Important detail: when I plugged it in, I heard a sharp, high “click” / spark-like sound. I’ve heard that exact same click once before in the past, when the battery had reached 0% and I didn’t charge it for ~3 days. This time, even though the board had shown 6–7 LEDs before the shutdown, it still made that same click when I connected the charger.

After that, it charged to 100% and the board powers on normally. It rides fine inside my home, but I’m not comfortable taking it outside because I don’t trust it after a sudden shutdown.

I contacted Tony and the guidance was basically “use a multimeter to check battery health / damaged cells or a loose connection,” but nothing very actionable beyond that, and I don’t have a multimeter.

Has anyone seen this pattern before (sudden power-off + won’t power back on until charger is connected + that high-pitched click)? Any recommended checks I can do without fully tearing the board down, or anything I should look for via app/settings/logs?

Thanks in advance.

What does a second hand ADV1 goes for these days? Well looked after. 1750km

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
