@lia said in TFL and FM made a video together!:
Just a thought though... if TFL are partnering with FM does that mean we will get the Drop Top fender afterall?
i imagine its we get more of a ceasefire, followed by treaty. the GT hub is... in need of life savers. if tfl patented those, then FM is now at the end of the muzzle lol... but i would hope FM realizes the new tire n hub, unless absolutely necessary for current or future product development, was a misstep, if not a mistake. if they lock down the entire product into a very successful profit scheme, it won't be the float life breathing down their necks... it will be honda! sometimes ambition isn't a good thing.
if i were FM i would fill the niche across the spectrum. i would make a cheap onewheel, a less cheap onewheel, and an expensive onewheel. cheap onewheel is cheap. but not as cheap as the knockoff... which of course i also produce and market...
thats right. id sell my own dirt cheap onewheel that does the basics just well enough so as to not provide any incentive for my competitors. as the market develops, i acquire the aftermarket's top performers. small extensible power system, third world shell company, the works! shed as much liability as i can. THEN I risk the brand on the more expensive top of the line models. like mother fuckin microsoft!
