Frédéric was honestly the most reliable and friendly vendor I ever had contact with. He changed the diy community for good, just by making stuff available.
He was even beta testing his own branded VESCs !(which I have and they kick ass!)
A dark day for our community, that’s for sure.
But he will be remembered in honor. Fluxmotion has put it’s mark on the world and I think it’s gonna take some time before we stop seeing those decks.
Well holy fuck. I’m so sorry for Fredrick’s friends and family. Mental health is more and more of a problem these days and it’s sometimes hard to see when we as family/community need to step in and make sure things are manageable. My condolences go out to everyone. R.I.P dude. You will be missed.
Was seriously sad to read of Fred’s passing he was such a nice guy to chat to here.
I’ve kind of got the Flux v1 I was testing going again after some issues with various ESCs. Currently using a Maker-x D75(v2) but undercharging the 18s7p 30Q battery to 74.5v in order to not stress it(circuitry good for 84v iirc). Also changed motors to 6385 138kv Reachers so ummph is pretty good now. MBS T2 tires work pretty well on the wide open sand beach nearby. The Trampa trucks are squeaky & wobbly so I see a Dampa upgrade in the near future. Did a little shake-down test earlier today, kWh consumption is horrible & it weights more than your mom
9” tires on heavy solid alum 3D wheels/3D 1:5 drive all on west Trampa trucks, + I think I’m turning into a fat b’stard too which prob doesn’t help couldn’t weigh it as the bathroom scales are broken
Yeah beach, sand was a little mushy so can prob improve on that
As of today, on Frederic’s birthday, I am proud to announce that I am the new owner of FluxMotion.
With FluxMotion, we build high-performance electric longboards. Our boards are developed in-house and assembled by us in Belgium. Parts are produced worldwide.
As many people know FluxMotion was originally started by Frederic Adriaens.
Since 2018, Frederic was an active member of the DIY community, developing and selling parts for builders around the world through electricboardsolutions.
In 2020, a new brand was launched, FluxMotion, all the knowledge he had gained from selling DIY parts was brought together into one high-end board. The focus is on quality, premium design and excellent customer service.
Tragically, we lost the visionary behind FluxMotion in 2022. Frederic left behind awesome memories and an established company in the ESK8 scene.
In 2018, when electric longboards became a little more well-known, I became friends with Frederic. As we shared the same passion and studies and lived close together, we saw each other regularly. At these times, we talked about FluxMotion’s future projects, helped each other with problems, took a ride or exchanged spare parts.
For quite some time, I had been working behind the scenes to ensure that the assembled boards continue to meet Frederic’s strict standards and parts are shipped within 48h.
Very happy to have the brand continue to live on under the wing of a trusted community member like yourself. I wish you luck, and I’m excited to see what you have planned for the future!
Hi @JesseM , can you send me a private message or email to: team@fluxmotion.eu with the correct shipping address? I will see if another shipping method is possible.
