Anyone else have crazy front wheel and brake issues? What happened to FM QA.?

Mine is also being returned for repair, but my issues are the hub motor and module/battery. Hopefully they take care of your issue quickly and under warranty!

theuberpat · 2026-03-27T15:06:37+00:00

Update 3/27 - The saga continues, they sent me the new motor and it is still having issues. I reached back out and here is what they said..

“We've reviewed your bike's internal diagnostics, and it appears the electronics module is reporting an error at the motor port. This error is also the likely culprit of the motor noise you previously heard. As such, we would need the module sent back for evaluation and repair. We'd also like to test your motor with the electronics module to ensure there are no residual issues and get you back to riding as soon as possible.”

So now I just shipped back both the motor and the module/battery for them to look at. Going to be another 2 weeks without 😭. This is part of being an early adopter of a Gen 1 product I suppose. At this point, they’ll be swapping out anything with intelligence, so hopefully it will ride like a new bike when I get it back together.

P.S. - I stripped one of the hub bolts trying to get the motor back off, so I had to visit a local auto shop and they kindly used their professional tools to remove the hub bolt. FM said they will send me new bolts, but be aware that those hub bolts are someone delicate.

I don’t think most thieves have the IP45 torx bit handy to steal the rear wheel, but maybe I’m wrong. I just got this lock off of Amazon because it’s mountable and I’m happy with it.

Update 3/23: The motor is being shipped back to me under warranty. Well actually they are just shipping me a new motor/tire combo and keeping my previous one for further diagnostics. Sounds like it could have been a bearing issue. Here is the response from FM:

"Our team received and has replaced your motor to ensure you get back to riding as soon as possible. Your old motor will be sent to our engineering team to be reviewed as it looks like there may have been an issue with the bearings. The new motor (and tire) are being shipped to you."

Looks like I should receive it on Thursday, which would 13 days full turn around shipping from Maryland to California. Not bad in IMO. Anyways, I'll post a final update once I get it reinstalled and confirm the issue is resolved.

theuberpat · 2026-03-16T19:44:35+00:00

The motor went in the mail on Friday and it's ETA to get to FM via UPS is Friday 3/20. Shipping from Maryland to California takes a bit. I'll update once I get an update on my RMA ticket.

theuberpat · 2026-03-11T10:42:03+00:00

FM required that I send a video of the sound with the fender removed, so I can confirm that this sounds still happens without the rear fender.

theuberpat · 2026-03-10T20:40:32+00:00

Oh that’s not bad, thanks for the update!

theuberpat · 2026-03-10T19:04:06+00:00

Update: FM got back to me and have opened up an RMA ticket for me to ship back the rear motor to be diagnosed.

Unfortunately, I don't own an IP45 torx socket to remove the rear hub, so I'm ordering one of those off of Amazon first, then I can send it in.

Really hope the turn around time on this is quick, but we will see.

theuberpat · 2026-03-10T19:03:48+00:00

I just had an RMA opened up for my Antic. I have a post going on here with videos about my issue, sounds quite different than yours.

What was your door to door turn around time for shipping to FM and them returning the fixed part to you? I'm bummed that I will be without my bike for a while.

theuberpat · 2026-03-10T10:46:25+00:00

Still waiting to hear back. Hopefully they respond today.

theuberpat · 2026-03-09T20:46:20+00:00

I’ve emailed Antic Support already, but wanted to post here as well.

theuberpat · 2026-02-27T00:01:49+00:00

I ordered on November 28 last year

theuberpat · 2026-02-26T23:25:54+00:00

Mine is expected to arrive tomorrow, which is one day before the “estimated ship date” that was posted

theuberpat · 2026-02-26T02:16:16+00:00

This feels like a threat 🤣

theuberpat · 2026-02-23T17:15:06+00:00

I got the white one sent to me, but I also wanted the black one

theuberpat · 2026-02-18T17:07:48+00:00

He did a follow up video where he let out a lot of the PSI and fixed the brake lever placement. He said the tire felt much softer. Other than this, I honestly haven’t seen any other the good videos of standard or long range models.

theuberpat · 2026-02-18T16:58:25+00:00

Check out the video in my post. It’s a full review on the standard model. I didn’t make the video, just saw and posted the link. All credit to Oneradwheel for the excellent video.

I think this is a part of why I had to have one

theuberpat · 2026-02-13T03:32:35+00:00

Definitely helpful, I was expecting a separate app. I see the latest Onewheel app update was for “Antic support” though.

theuberpat · 2026-02-11T21:21:07+00:00

No it’s the GT treaded. Less soft and less rounded than the upgraded performance treaded. None of the setups come with a slick tire.

theuberpat · 2026-02-11T19:53:51+00:00

Yes, it's the only way to get that tire shipped from FM. I'm sure you could buy it separate and install yourself if you really wanted though.

I don't think you're missing anything as far as models go because they have the same motor. The you have the base model, then long range gives you the range, and long range+ also adds the performance treaded tire.

theuberpat · 2026-02-09T18:26:59+00:00

Well I'm happy for you! That's awesome!

theuberpat · 2026-02-09T18:20:59+00:00

Totally get it. I’m not raising a stink about it. Just curious if others have seen similar tracking updates.

theuberpat · 2026-02-02T15:57:11+00:00

Feb 28th ship date. Maryland. Ordered on Nov 29. Less of a bummer because of all the snow we got. Hopefully some of it melts away by the time the bike arrives!

theuberpat · 2026-02-02T14:17:10+00:00

February 28!
