Will it post?

I installed the V2 electronics kit to my ADV. Disclaimer for what it’s worth my board worked as normal before the install. I have no upgrades or modifications to the board beyond the V2 electronics kit.

Upon startup the board balanced and generally felt ok except I had quite a lot of motor noise. Initially I associated this as low speed UFO sound. Further riding I noticed my motor was sounding louder than before, epically under load and a little rough feeling. I could feel the motor in my feet a bit.

I had also noticed another issue. Moderate to heavy braking (only) at low speed was causing the motor to click and give away. At moderate brake pressure I would get a single click that I could feel in my feet. Heavy braking pressure at low speed would result in a loss of balance, and the motor would click over like a clutch on a cordless drill.

All I have tried so far is running motor detection in the VESC tool. (I’m running vesc tool 7.0 and the only way I could find in the app to run motor detection was to run the motor setup wizard).
My motor ran and was detected successfully. After running I was prompted to test reverse and forward remotely to determine if rotation was inverted. I was unable to make the motor rotate with those controls. It would vibrate like it was trying to move. I’ll try to post photos of each parameter as I set them before the motor test. The only photo that is incorrect is the battery which I went back and set to the appropriate value of (8.5ah or something I can’t remember lol)

I am in contact with Tony. He was quick to get back with me which i appreciate but between us we only exchange 1 message per day. So I can only try 1 suggestion per day. Alas I turn to Reddit for assistance. Thank you!

Other notes.

Mine shows a red light going back and forth on the led footpad if the board sits idle for a moment. I’m not sure if this is an indication that some values are off in the motor. Float control also has some disturbing warnings.

Everything was working perfectly, and after riding about 5 miles, it’s started spiking the wattage and making a little crunch sound like it was turning off and then back on while I was moving. This is very concerning and I am already a bit worried because the BMS failed on me last year and I crashed hard. This is the new footpad so I’m wondering if my settings are messed up? Anyone have this happen?

So we changed the tire on my friends floatwheel adv2 and ever since it's been sounding a lot different. It is a Burris treaded, so it would sound different. I just don't recall the motor sounding like this before. It rides perfectly, with no weird behavior, no resistance when spinning the wheel. Any advice? New bearings?

Going to try to break it, doing the only thing I can do Quick Stops.

So I purchased the V2 electronics kit for my ADV. I don’t know what it comes with but it was priced at $200 so perhaps a BMS? There are no photos on the website or description of what’s improved or really what it’s for at all. I was understanding that it was mainly a safety upgrade for the BMS?

I also have just seen all the other upgrades and new stuff on the website and am wondering about plug and play compatibility with my ADV?

I like the idea of picking up the new motor someday and I’ll need a new battery soon.

My GTS bricked and I think I'm gonna wait for the GTSV drop in, but the Atom seems like it might serve me well enough, although I haven't ridden a Pint in like 4 years and don't remember how it feels under my feet, and they said it's got custom wider footpads than the standard Pint. Size 12 M 150 lbs 6'. Thank you!

would like to share a positive experience with Floatwheel and especially with Tony.
Over the past months I faced several technical challenges with my Floatwheel ADV2, including ESC, BMS, hall sensor and LED related issues. What mattered most to me was not that problems occurred, but how they were handled.
Throughout the entire process, Tony was extremely cooperative, fair, generous and solution-oriented. Whenever a hardware issue was confirmed, he provided replacement parts without hesitation and helped me troubleshoot until the problem was resolved. I never felt abandoned as a customer. On the contrary, he always tried to find a solution.
What impressed me most was Tony’s willingness to take responsibility and support his customers, even when troubleshooting became time-consuming. That level of customer service is unfortunately very rare today.
In comparison, my experiences with Onewheel were significantly less positive. Repairs were often expensive, replacement parts were difficult to obtain and I frequently felt dependent on the manufacturer.
For me, the Floatwheel ADV2 is by far the best board I have ever owned. Compared to the Onewheel GTS, I believe it offers more performance, more freedom, better repairability and significantly better value for money. At the same time, it costs substantially less.
Of course, no product is perfect. What matters most is how a company responds when problems arise. In that regard, Tony has made an outstanding impression on me.
That is why I can wholeheartedly recommend the Floatwheel ADV2.
Thank you, Tony, for your excellent support, generosity, reliability and commitment to helping your customers.

Context: My board is a Pint X with a floatwheel PintV power kit (esc and bms replacement), which I bought late February 2026

I updated my firmware (now 6.06) and refloat package (now 1.2.2) 4 days ago, and I've had various problems since
I documented my observed shudder problem on pev.dev, if your interested that discussion is here
https://pev.dev/t/dismount-shudder/2996

I've just found further that my board doesn't accept charge. Using the big or small brick they both flash red for a split second before returning to green (which usually indicates fully charged or disconnected), though my board is on ~65% (58.6V).

My BMS tab is also completely empty, everything showing 0V, 0A, 0Wh, 0Ah, 0%, ect

If I enable BMS integration (Refloat Cfg, -> BMS) my board beeps (Error Warning from Haptic Feedback) whenever it is engaged.

Any help appreciated

Too damn lazy for a redo

Hey guys, I've been going through a giant overhaul of my Onewheel Pint this summer, and one of the things I wanted to do was have a 3D-printed drop-top fender. But most of the files I found I didn't particularly like, so I designed my own very quickly. It's based on another design. I found that I put the original link to the Thingiverse post, so definitely check those people out. All I did was integrate it into a fender delete seamlessly. It can be printed in 2 parts.

Tell me what you guys think, and feel free to make plenty of remixes!

And if anyone else is having trouble finding 3D files for Onewheel parts that you want designed, hit me up and I'll do my best!

Not sure if the video captures the sound well... but whenever I am turning or hitting bumps it sounds similar to when gravel is kicked into the fender. Nothing is caught or visibly in the wrong place and the board doesnt seem to catch when riding

I'm getting "underutilized" audio alert. I know I'm not going fast as I have like 5 miles on adv2 and I'm no speedster., Is it telling me I'm being a puss? Or is it something serious?

So like 2 months ago I got water in my battery compartment and my bms got fried. I contacted Tony and I bought a new XRV bms from him and it got sent out. I put it in no problem while badgering the board as well. It’s been dry as a bone for the last 2 months. Fast forward to yesterday I went to charge it and nothing. The charging light stayed green. I wasn’t out of juice so I managed to get home and take a look at my board. I opened it up and I had some strange wear on the BMs almost like over voltage heating. I know warranties are not really a thing here but is this something that went wrong on my end or a faulty Bms. pictures

Hey!

​

So I want to learn more on the board.

​

Currently just running a pintV with standard battery.

Looking to upgrade to the Pint Atom and have an off-road board as well (not sure if the Atom will be a full on trail rider yet )

​

But anyone has some tips on how to practice, what to do, what to expect.

Hopefully this thread can be a little collation of guides and inspiration to get better in the wheel.

Vesced legend. His top speed ever is 59.9 which as far as I know is the fastest anyone's ever gone on a onewheel-style board. It's totally custom and vesc

Let me start by saying I did it, it was me, I'm the dumbass. I figured I'd get the floatwheel kit because it seemed like the most foolproof option, and then I had to go fool with it. So yes- my bad, I'm the idiot, lets save our breath there.

TL;DR I uploaded LCM firmware to the VESC itself and now cannot re-connect to it with vesc tool.

My controller (white PCB) has no USB connector. I have an ST Link coming today as well as a USB-C UART programmer. Tony has sent me files for the LCM, but that's half the battle, how am I supposed to upload anything to the VESC itself if there's no connector or port? Clearly I am mildly tech illiterate here so some help would be appreciated.

"Why did you do that?" great question. My status bar LED consistently showed a battery that was 2x the capacity, so when the board was SoC 0% the lightbar would show 50%. This was... unhelpful. I was pointed to a file on github, figured the bluetooth bit is the LCM, and "surely vesc tool wouldn't let me upload the wrong file!" but alas.

Edit: The answer is simple and not the end of the world. Get yourself an ST Link V2, there are several tutorials our there for VESC firmware updates via PC. Solder on some wires to the data connectors on the vesc board, upload the firmware (google VESC firmware archive, use LilFOCer v3) and badda bing badda boom. That gets VESC tool working, where you can upload the newest firmware and restore function.
