@JeffFrick This! Thinner profile, longer range, higher top speed, new app . . . come on @Future-Motion, let's get going!!!

@SlyFoxxx said in NOT "NEW" TOPIC, YET WE ALL ARE WAITING WHEN THE DAY WILL COME AND BE FORCED TO BE ADDRESSED:

So I'm writing this today to give away for free two solutions Future Motion can use and implement

Good luck with that! There are a myriad of sensible and logical suggestions all over this board, but @Future-Motion NEVER replies. I really doubt they pay attention to this board at all.

@petec8787 I've been riding over 7000 miles on a + and an XR and this happens to me "occasionally" and seemingly for no reason. What I usually try to do is shift my forward foot a bit and that normally stops it from happening again. If I do get a second warning, I will stop, get off the board, then remount fresh and that almost always stops it. It almost seems like somehow my foot is in just the right spot to maybe not trigger one side of the sensors. But again, it usually stops using one of the methods I mentioned. If this were to happen consistently, I would suspect faulty footpad sensors, but not bluetooth. The error is generated by the board, not the app.

Be careful and have fun!

@NotSure Obviously they're funding all these races around the country and such, so I "think" they're healthy. But with no new product announcements for quite some time, you have to wonder.

@Lia Ah, wasn't aware the BMS was actually in the battery area. Thought it was the first thing on the other side of the connector. I've changed my tires on the OW and installed some float plates, but that's about the extent of me messing with it. Still, there could be money to be made!

@Lia said in Best aftermarket range extension methods:

That would be good but FM have said they won't do swapable packs.

Perhaps someone (@Lia, lol) could come up with a 3D printable battery case with a simple connector, then mod the battery area to accept said case, then sell them aftermarket! Even if it had a couple less cells, the fact that they could be swapped in would easily make up for the slightly less range. Besides, if they use the latest battery tech, they should have higher capacity anyway.

I think @Future-Motion is really missing out on the old razor blade sales technique. Just think of how many snap in batteries they could sell. I know I, myself, would buy 3 extras right off the bat with the next gen board along with a standalone battery charger. I realize that's more development, but what the heck have they been doing anyway since the Pint came out???

@Lia said in Best aftermarket range extension methods:

I do wonder if FM will make a Pint with extra range or if they'll go for a new flagship to replace the XR.

This is pretty funny, I started on a + with less range than the Pint. Quickly (1700 miles in) moved up to the XR for more range (ok AND power).

So, I'm hoping for a new XR+ (don't care what you call it) that combines Pint and XR features, fit, and some styling, latest battery tech, and MAYBE a plug-able battery so you can go as far as you can carry batteries! :D

@Lia A bit crazy, but hilarious!!!

@Madroxkran So many variables . . . I'd say anywhere from 10 to 5000+ miles! :D

if I have the big clunky foot thing on

If Billie Eilish can do it!!!
