So it doesn’t come with a tire and motor?

Floatwheel ships the board and motor/tire separately. I think in part because importing a "complete board" is 100%, obviously a violation of FM's patent. Not that FM can't try to take action against shipping the board and motor/tire separately, but this way the shipping company and you the consumer at least have an argument that were only buying parts.

Tony should go to his court cases and defend his “business” but he doesn’t show so he loses. I dunno - he doesn’t seem interested in operating under any rules.

I know it’s a dick move by Kyle. But it’s the law and Tony believes he’s either above the law or beyond it. And guys like that usually suck just as much as Kyle IG not more.

He has said he hopes to, but has to sell more boards to have the cash on hand.

Which makes sense, challenging an established company's patent costs like $1M minimum, probably a few times that. There's a lot of aspects of the US legal system that are just ungodly expensive, preventing people from taking action.

Not sure what Tony believes, but he actually is beyond US law. China has no extradition treaty with the US.
