New DIY onewheel kit

This kind of thing is the kind of thing people need to know about and make decisions based on. This kind of info is why i started this site. Its why the trampa arguments stay up, its why vendors are treated like regular users here, and why a lot of drama stays intact unless there are blatent personal attacks.

People need to know how the world works. And in this world, a lot of businesses are psychopathic sharks and burn people for doing their own thing and don’t really contribute to the community.

I think at this point they are more concerned about maintaining their reputation than the money from these orders. Just my opinion, I think they will indeed fulfil the orders in good faith and I think they are correct in assuming every single one of us will send the money in full after receiving.

Not sure how it works in China, but here it would be a waste as FM would just make it long and expensive and drown them. Bullshit I tell ya

I’m really curious what Float Wheel Infringes on as far as Future Motion’s IP goes… If anything.

Straight up dog shit. I was planning on picking up a kit as well.

I was expecting this to be a fun alternative. The prebuilt are never up to par with my needs or desire. This kit allowed me to make one however I wanted it

  1. i appreciate the level of self editing that went on in this thread. Thanks for behaving so well.

  2. Somebody bring a from scratch tutorial using existing diy parts and post it here somewhere. Or if there is one, bring it up front.

Rails have been taken down, so fingers pointing that way…

Right but its kind of hard to claim a bit of CNC work and C Channeling as Intellectual Property. There’s something specific in the Rails that FM is claiming as Infringement.

Probably to do with the Pint bumpers like mentioned previously, some insignificant design patent similar to that took down the LandSurf pint bumpers

Aight guys, we are back at it.
Please don’t worry about us, we will figure out a way which we can ship things fast and transparently, but lets keep it with our small community, if we can just stay as a small community, FM is gonna leave us alone.
Many of you guys are suggesting alternative payment method, after searching the web there isnt any other good way of making transactions over seas other than using bitcoin as it is non traceable, and can not be enforced by US court.
However, there is a problem with bitcoin, there is not any protection plans for you guys, you will totally rely on us keeping the promise to fullfill orders, which indeed we will. There might be some concerns which we totally understand.
Here is how its gonna work, you will have to prove yourself to be an actual builder of portable EV, if you are reputable on the forum, (familiar names no matter on the new/old forum), we can ship things ahead of your payment, you can send us bitcoin once you recieved and be happy with the kits. If you are new to the forum, sorry we will require full payment ahead of shipping, and will post all the photos of us packing it up and ship it at DHL.
I am meeting up with IP lawyers later this afternoon, lets see what happens.
I appreciate all your support and love, I will remember and thank you for life!

definity interested in the payment solution. You should add a donate money option on your shop too.

alipay?

bitcoin is slightly annoying to get in the USA but if one of us have it was can do the exchange between ourselves. Personally I have a validated coinbase account bet a couple others do too.
