BUILDING This Instead SAVED Me $10,000!

It has been a while. Hugs are always appreciated. Kids are great, grandkids are awesome. Decided to not go with the pool after all as I'm old, and I'd rather spend the money on Onewheel stuff.

The ingenuity with this video is over the top, no matter the level of jank with the build. Certainly a very cool project to undertake with limited resources, and using the VESC board as the brake/control was inspired (along with Nico's script to manage things). It was cool seeing a sciency collab between everyone, and let's face it, we're all a bit nerdy when it comes to even wanting to ride these things, even if we don't understand the math behind it all (no worries Julian, I managed to get consecutively worse grades in Algebra C-, D, F... when you had to get a C+ to get into Geometry).

Hey float life I just rode my Onewheel pint for the first time in 6-8 months but it threw me off my board twice in a row while travelling roughly 10MPH. The motor jittered and stopped for a split second. Why is this happening ??

From the thumbnail pic I thought you were building a pitching machine… or a spear chucker, like the things they use to test tornado damage by sending a 2X4 through it into a wall or door, etc..

Ride a bike

Sir buy some 80/20 extrusions and do it properly

This might be one of my favorite YT videos ever. Big fan of "backyard engineer" content, and this just OOZES it.

Good job.

Julian not behind the camera?!? Definitely need more of this pls

more data yes please thank you

Gosmilo! Would love to see if more tuning is possible on one of these

Finally, the piss graphs have been validated

put three variable resistors on the three phases of motor leads. Add Voltage and current monitoring on one of the phases and you have your power and 'unlimited' resistance up to the resistor wattage. Let me know if you want help with it...

Stan is definitely the man!

Kids are good. Float on ❤

Yes, yes, yes. More, duh. Thanks guys.

Excellent resourcefulness and data analysis!! I love the vibin' ride vids and challenge vids, but this kinda stuff just spices it up! Great job Julian and team! 🤙🏼

What’s the point of this for a onewheel?

hahaha love it. For science !

Great video! Please, do the update with PintS and PintV

Love this!

This was one of my favorite videos. Helps me understand my board better and how I can push it

Really like this kind of video definitely more please, really enjoyed it!

Hell yeah! Love seeing the hard facts as well as the whole diy process behind it. Keep it up yall!

Please do the GTV!!

Curious about the pint xv on that thing

Adv 💪

VOW GT 100v owner here, she definitely has power! 💪 😂

Great video! We need more content like this from Julian

Good job! Interesting

I loved this video. Please do more sciencey/geeky stuff.

Man... I wish I had a job here! What a damn fun time. (What's up Bobbert!!!!!!)

Great video! Excellent content, thanks for explaining the Future Motion graphs.
Please also test the Floatwheel's GTV and XRV ( Tony just dropped the XRV this week for all the XR riders ) and it apparently has more power than the GTS.

DIYers totally here for this kinda content. Do what u can with what u have ❤. Love it.

I would love to see the hub/stator test video on the this bad boy right here

My worlds are colliding. Love the channel and Nico's Bluecoats sweatshirt! BLOOOOO!

This style of content is so fun. Where did the last 20 min go?

Yeah do this. More of these science videos

Awesome

Fucking great video… I recommend more safety with experimental testing devices. A failure could have seen a 20+ mph OneRocket at someone. Hell, safety glasses and not being either in front or behind the boards woulda been… advised. Happy no one was hurt and love the data!

Please do the Pint X-V on this! Its power is unreal. Tony says it evens it out with the GT-S in power and I think he might be on but confirming would be amazing. Please, Please, PLEEEASE!? ❤

Wait the aussie guy with the blue board didnt want it back???? whaaat
also my time to brag is now i went on a group ride with stanley 2 or so years ago at christmas time right when he got a pintx, and he was talking about making a super powerful board and he actually did it

Great content guys! Results look pretty shockingly good.

Please do more videos. The editing was killer and you’re funny af bro lol

More mythbustery vibed videos of "idk let's see what this does" plzzz

Glorious Futurama reference.

Love to see data on the various VESC combo's e.g. 84v hyper core vs 84v Superflux.

Fantastic vid guys 👏

I don't understand how this works. Does the bottom board's tire have traction beneath it or is it totally suspended on the bearings?

Loved this video, Julien! Really funny and awesome to see "maker" content here. ❤❤
