In their December 9th video, Lai explained that they have identified some issues with the GT and XR sensors and have designed their footpad sensor to account for these issues. The front footpad will have a pressure sensitive dual-zone sensor, similar to the sensors on all Onewheel products. Footpadsīoth boards will feature the same dual concave (front and rear) footpads. The controller and battery enclosures are made from injection molded plastic and will be air tight and waterproofed.

Both rails have a 3 degree tilt in the front and rear. The adv has a W shaped rail with three axle mounting positions - again, very similar to The Float Life’s WTF rails.

The adv pro has a trussed rail design with five axle mounting positions - pretty much a clone of Tech Rails.

In the announcement video, Lai emphasized a priority for a lower center of gravity and ride stability. The floatwheel boards will be similar to Onewheel+ XR in size. But, it should be noted that floatwheel is not a new company and they have successfully fulfilled multiple products in the past. If you consider this to be a red flag, that is understandable. This would ideally open up other payment options. Lai goes on to state that floatwheel hopes to eventually take on Future Motion in court to challenge their patents, but only after they have established themselves in the market. As Lai explained in their YouTube video from December 7th, they are only accepting crypto as payment so that they can avoid being shutdown or seized by Future Motion. Right now, floatwheel is only accepting payment via Coinbase, a cryptocurrency platform. Lai has repeatedly assured YouTube commenters that the orders are on schedule to ship in February. The floatwheels are slated to start shipping in February of 2023.

The full price of the floatwheel adv pro is $1799 with a $650 pre-order deposit. The pre-order deposit is $500 or $650, respectively. The full price of the floatwheel adv is $1599 or $1749 depending on the battery you choose. The authors hope that ship activity and traffic will use the findings of seas of floating organisms within the garbage patches to minimize high seas impacts and activities.Right now, pre-orders are available for both boards: The mission called the Vortex Swim in 2019 was organized to bring attention to the ocean trash problem. The scientists actually partnered with a ship accompanying swimmer Ben Lecompte on his 400-mile swim across the garbage patch.

GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH NOW THRIVING WITH MARINE LIFE, STUDY SAYS They found that particularly where plastics were in high concentrations, so was the floating life.Īnother recent study found that the Pacific Garbage Patch is also rich with marine life only found on coasts as well. "There is an urgent need to better understand these ecosystems and the role of plastic debris." "Ocean ‘garbage patches’ and other convergence zones may be overlooked areas of high neuston abundance and could serve similar ecological roles to the North Atlantic Sargasso Sea, providing food and habitat for diverse species and valuable economic services," stated the study. The exact size, content and location of the "garbage patches" are difficult to accurately predict. Marine debris concentrates in various regions of the North Pacific, not just in one area. While "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" is a term often used by the media, it does not paint an accurate picture of the marine debris problem in the North Pacific Ocean.
