@ifyoumustknow said in Pint does not engage:
Just got my Pint, and about 30% of the time after I turn it on and I drop the front in to engage it would just drop to ground. Blue lights on, and both feet on the pads. It would take a few drops before it engages the motor.
funny -- my Pint started doing this suddenly, too, just in the past week or two. sometimes it takes me around 3 tries to get it to engage properly. I will add that i'm wearing different types of shoes when this has happened -- sometimes thin-soled skater shoes, other times Vans slip-ons. The other thing of note is that this behavior is not consistent: i've noticed it happening suddenly, but it doesn't happen every time. i am not totally convinced it's an actual problem with the Pint yet... it could be something on me as the user end of things, too. But i thought i'd chime in on it.
@UTrider I'd figured I should tell you, I ordered mine on 9/13, and it entered production on thursday 9/19 at 1 am. Chances are they are down to their last few hundred if not less I would gather.
If your aiming for a Tuesday shipping then I might be as well. The other person above said it took 3 days, and I'm assuming they only build on business days, leading to Monday to mid Tuesday being the final build days. I have one other person who has been in production about 9-11 hours less than me so I'll let them know it might be a much earlier ship.:D

@a_onekatie Pretty sure they were on Maui, but yeah, that looked awesome. His XR looked like a darn workhorse, all covered in grass and mud with him riding barefoot!
@znzn said in FM please please pretty please begin to franchise service dealers/shops:
I don't wanna buy a press or industrial vice, and the local tire shop looks at me like an alien. Plus, shipping to CA and back is expensive and the gas. Think of the children? Love you. Zach

I've thought of calling FM and volunteering to be the service rep for my state . . . and do it for free so they can figure out their training plan.
Shipping from my state (or overseas) is obscene - they need to do something so it doesn't cost 1/4 to 1/2 the price of the board to get it serviced.
Better yet, bite the bullet, put up some official service videos, sell the spare parts, and help people to repair their own boards.
If they decide to keep going down the road of Apple, with proprietary EVERYTHING, I'm going to be the first one building my own OW when the awesome techheads out there figure it out and post it online.
