MTE 5" Hub - +XR/Pint Compatible

If you have been wondering if there will be a difference in how it feels and rides. There is! Alot more stable and feels alot smoother on the street that extra tire sidewall really does help the ride and feel of the board. I'm extremely happy with it. I use to run 8-12psi with my 6.5 wheel and would hit rim now it's butter! My favorite upgrade so far. Currently riding a gt with wtf rails pre leveled. Kush high in the back. With the gradient tracking the n42 has been ok for me.

I'm now running a n48 setup on my grv kit and find it to be perfect for my weight.

I have a n42 on my xr with stock controller and battery and it's more punchy than I expected.

Also the 5inch pioneer is the best tire I've ever road on any onewheel to date. With any 6 inch 6.5 inch or other 5 inch tire/wheel setup yet.

After riding an XR for thousands of miles then switching to the 5" hub it was surprising how much smoother the ride was. I had about 400 miles on the 5" hub on my XR before I started riding a 6" hub vesc board and I really miss the MTE hub. Going back up to 6" hub was a lot less smooth and the rough parts of the trails are a lot more noticeable. I missed the MTE after the first ride on a 6" hub again. If you are coming from a GT to MTE it must be an amazing upgrade. I wish the MTE could fit the super flux motor.

I put the N52M Curved MTE w/Ceramic Grizzly's on my GT-S with the 655 Enduro in Soft and let, me, tell, you, something... I can't believe how good it is. Somehow my wheel free spin speed is up from 40 to 44 mph and the performance increase is palpable.

It was fast already but it takes off like a rocket now.

If you're waiting for a restock it sucks and I feel your pain for real. But it was SO worth it. I honestly can't ever imagine going back to anything else and I'm glad I held out for the MTE. It's just too good.

MTE 5" Hub - GT/GT-S/XRC/Antic Compatible

Exceptionally packaged and always with a swag bag of goodies! Fast and reliable.

Put this on an OG Pint with a pioneer + rail extension. Rides like an absolute dream. The slightly increased torque from the N48 is surprisingly confidence inspiring and more than makes up for the higher torque demands of the longer rails/bigger tire. Top speed before pushback (with the pioneer) is noticeably higher even with the higher strength magnets since the Pint has such early pushback, the lost top end due to back EMF doesn't seem to occur anywhere near pushback.

I have an XR that hooked me, bought a GT for more power and range but it didn't ride as smooth. 5" mte and Enduro 655 fixed that! Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because after assembling there was .025" side to side slop that clunked when shifting my weight. Needed to shim/machine out clearance.

The best thing I have ever bought for my one. Wheel would definitely recommend plug and play. It's easy to install awesome customer service. Awesome people to work with.We'll definitely do business again

Definitely recommend getting well worth the money.Easy to put in, no hassle.Great help.If you need customer service all out.Great company

Best company i've bought from so far yet great alp, awesome, help the best help for the people

Truly awesome. If FM had any sense these would be stock on a GT instead of that stupid 6.5” monstrosity. Easily worth the money, as was the huge upgrade to a Float tire. I seriously appreciate that you folks exist because this TRANSFORMED my GT from what I would describe as painfully stiff at 15 PSI to a blissful and spry shock absorbing dream ride at 18 PSI that I can honestly say feels akin to floating. Its sticky, yet nimble. Torquey in all the right ways without any real noticeable top end differences (I ride at a lower 16-17ish with the roads here anyway). I should mention the insanely responsive and stable braking this provides as well. It’s a real confidence booster knowing you can bleed speed with some haste. I’m 100 miles in on the GT with 20 years away from skateboarding and this was the difference between me keeping the GT and selling it for an XRC. Much love to TFL for introducing a diecast version of this for us poors. Also, guys, stop giving me koozies. Seriously 😂🙏🤙

It's difficult to describe the change a 5 inch hub makes. If I'm just riding on the street I can't immediately tell the difference. I've learned to ride a certain way. I avoid pot holes because they have sent me flying. I'm careful on sidewalk lips and curbs because I'm not great a nudging. Drops hurt my knees.

So after changing the hub I'm used to still riding that same cautious way. But I don't actually have to be. When I hit a pot hole I barely feel it. It rides right over chunk. Drops...still hurt my knees cause I'm old but it helps. I highly recommend this as your next upgrade.

Great upgrade for FM Antic

Currently rocking this with an XRV kit!! Big Guy approved! i'm 6'7 220 and my other board is a GTS. I find myself riding this setup a ton! Great for Colorado curb nudging and mtb trails! Highly Recommend!

Great customer service

The hub looks really well built/designed, and the youtube videos got me through the installation. I need time to ride on it before I can tell about the actual ride quality, but I'm happy with it so far.

Just finished installing the hub, super easy. I just followed your video. Thanks again for such a great sale.

This is a must have, a need! Going from a 6.5inch hub to a 5inch is amazing! If you like comfort, nimbleness, stability and torque this is the way to go! Almost feels more nimble than a pint! You get more lean on turns make it able to take turns so much faster! I have this paired with the pioneer tire aired up to 18psi and it’s still a comfy ride! Get this MTE hub!

Billet with N52s are great! Installed on lightning rails with enduro 655 with drop top fender. Stock GT battery and controller. Easy instal as advertised 2. No clearance or rubbing 3. Feels stronger and I didn't notice any less speed! (And im 220 lbs...) Freaking great!

Excellent service, product and shipping. The quality and finish of the hub is very high, and is evident. The bearings were pressed prior to shipping, which is so convenient. I havemt installed it yet, but based on my inspection so far, I’m very pleased.

The best upgrade ever!!!!Get this for your onewheel because this gives you maximum suspension and is perfect for people who love to have smooth or aggressive ride this just gives you everything you want!

Awesome product, awesome service, the company is just straight up fkin awesome

These hubs are amazing, the roller bearings are next level, I bought one for each of my personal boards. Now hopefully the only bearings I’ll have to change is for others just keeping up on maintenance.
Thank you to all of you at TheFloatLife for making all these parts for us to keep our boards operating at the next level.
And all the amazing swag that makes us feel appreciated for spending the money on these

This setup is a game changer. I'm climbing loose dirt single track hills the stock hub and tire would stall out or spin out on.
The performance on the street is great also.

Love the increased torque! 30 to 40 degree inclines are also possible now

I've tried it in all kinds of conditions, trail and street. Back to back with a GTS rally and another GT to compare. I love my hottrodded gt now. It feels so good. The low end torque is awesome. Launching, climbing, crawling, bonking, carving. Everything feels better with the better torque from the n52s. Just feels solid and stable. So good. Pioneer tire also rules on this hub. If you want to give your gt the low end torque of a GTS, this will get you pretty darned close. With the extra tire cushion, it rides even better imo.

I have got two of them for my boards. Nothing even compares to that ride feeling!
