      You should look at up Louis Rossman on CZcams his most recent videos talks about why you probably shouldn't do business with future motion. They own the rights to the board, not you and it's a right to repair battle currently where they are said to be worse than Apple in this regard. Also major issues with a glitch that will send you to the pavement without warning. I too was going to buy and have since changed mind. If you do get, upgrade your health insurance and possibly up your life insurance. Cheers.

  • @AuRowe

    There's really no excuses for FM to have such a high end priced product with any product failures whatsoever. Crappy chinese EUC's seem to have a more successful consistency in lifespan than these and that sucks. Once FM gets some quality control that is a little more clear, I'll buy one. Till then going to rock the old OW XR and Pint. Thing keeping me from the Pint X is the overheating when fast charging. May not sound like a big deal but to me thats a deal breaker. The fact multiple youtubers have had issues means many others likely have had issues as well.

      By "modifying their battery" do you mean replacing their battery when it wears out? Or buying the battery direct from the manufacturer rather than through Future Motions repair program?

      I've heard that some slicks were "out of round" tires for some. My treaded seems fine though. Also, both slick and treaded GT tires have more curve compared to the stock XR's Vega tire, so it can take a little bit of getting used to, but once you do, it's more fun to ride since it carves easier.

    Just bought a GT Friday. Did 4 miles on it the next day and now intermittent one side of the foot sensor shows like my foot is on it. Atleast it didn’t take off on me when I caught it. I’m on Cassiopeia - 6109 but assuming it’s a sensor issue. Turned off n turned back on later n was fine but turned on the simple stop for now to be safe. Thought they were fixed but apparently not

      That sucks. Yea, I just had a friend get a full GT replacement, and the new one has the ghosting issue still. You could see the blue light indicator stay lit even after he removed his foot. I really think they need to redesign and replace that front footpad. Use a more reliable pressure sensor that needs like 50lbs of weight detection in 3 places to be absolutely sure someone is on/off the board. Oh, and send it out as a replacement to all current GT owners. While I've had my issues - my sensor pad still hasn't ghosted on me, but I've heard of people who said they never had a ghost 100s of miles into riding...then it happens. =( I like to stay optimistic, but I'm also a realist...

They said they updated the firmware in an email response, but that's it.

      Likely about 2 months after your warranty expires and you have to send it in for a battery replacement directly from future motion since they brick if you attempt yourself. This isn't a company to do business with endless you are loaded, don't mind months long wait times and have top notch heath and disability insurance. If you have a family, I'd suggest life insurance as well. He mentioned it briefly, but ghosting is no joke when it pitches you forward into the pavement.
