Fliteboard - What is going on after the Brunswick acquisition?

Hey All I was sent to this thread from Reddit and was told you all might be interested in this:

I’m collecting information from Fliteboard owners who have experienced hardware failures following software or firmware updates — especially cases where support requested full-cost replacement shortly after warranty expiration.

This is not legal representation or a promise of a class action. The purpose is to gather data and connect with others who may have had similar experiences.

If this applies to you, you can share your details here: https://forms.gle/Qjv9PRhoZbq4bCQY8

All responses are confidential and for research and potential coordination purposes only.

Thanks!

More on Fliteboard’s big marketing bubble:

There is even a “F*** the Fliteboys” song. This is funny.

This how the Fliteboard quality looks after just one year.

This is why the just give one year warranty :wink:

Fliteboard Clearance Sale. Everything must go. Great deals.

Did the situation with customer service improve in 2026?

No matter where you look—whether it’s Facebook groups or Reddit—the complaints about Fliteboard just keep coming. What has become of this innovative Australian startup? A corporation is taking it over, and everything is going downhill.

It’s really sad to see what a corporation can do to an innovative startup. You see news like this practically every day, like here on Facebook.

And right below that, an ad from Fliteboard: No one advertises more than Fliteboard. What if they put just half of that budget toward customer support?

I think by now everybody should know not to react to Fliteboard software updates. There have been so many issues with Fliteboard software updates. Never change a running system.

Just found this on Reddit. Not sure what the exact reason was, but according to the person who posted, this was not one fire. It was two different fires with Fliteboard batteries. Several month in between.

What happened with Flite claims that no Fliteboard battery has ever caught fire?. According to the report a Fliteboard representative was there to investigate.
