I my be stupid or just to old but who or what is AMP?

FD were far from the first to do it… There we guys as early as 2017 running motors higher up the mast for assist units.

share the detail of your organ donation card so we can confirm the price

Yes you are right Jezza but I have to give Kudos to the legends at FD as they bought it to the market. I was well off and probably far to ambitious with what I wanted to achieve and took the long road. But they have done well and been great at supporting there customers. Credit when credit is due!

Is FliteLab your project and merely funded and partnered by Fliteboard or does Fliteboard fully own it?
I’m no different to you. I had a fully designed under board option back in April last year but had so many other projects I just didn’t give it the time it needed to be mature enough for a commercial product. Now almost anything that comes out post FD Gen2 makes them scream that guys have copied them :rofl:

Yes Flite now own the project and myself including some other team rides and full frothers are free to come up with whatever crazy idea we want to try and have access to all the insane engineers in at flite. Its a match made in heaven.

What does the AMP stand for assuming its an acronym?

Amplify your ride :wink:

Not really a rumour but :grinning:

Significant lowering of price of entry

I have noticed a few things:

  1. You can’t use Explore size battery
  2. Not available as board only
  3. Odd pricing if you delete all items in the BUY NOW process other than the board (so no remote, charger etc). This yields a single item that appears to be the board, propulsion unit and the foil for a price just slightly more than the pricing of just a propulsion unit. Include cost for foil and you are net negative. This logic would have you get a free “board only” assuming you could resell the propulsion unit and foil for their full website price.

Now available on site as board only!!

Last week you had posted it was available as board only and it was $999 I think? I was intrigued and tried to go look it up myself and didn’t find any board only option. Maybe it will be available again after the initial launch orders are filled and they build up some inventory. Also, I noticed the fiberglass board only option has jumped from $1700 to $2500! Other board prices only prices might have changed but that was the only one I was aware of

I did post that link and the pricing showed in the link. Now it’s gone so not sure what they are doing. Seems odd.

Gong developing low cost assist.

I was having the same idea to launch an affordable copycat of foil drive assist plus (more power 10S3P and more convient to tight to the mast without scoch) at 1000-1500 euros, if Gong wants to do something, I may have to quit my project… :frowning:
