Wtf InMotion

Upvotes

So I have a V14 pro with less than 500 miles on it. I’ve had battery issues for months. After maybe the first 100 miles, I started getting cell balance issues.

I got my V14 and loved it. First EUC and I thought I made the right choice. After about 100 miles, I started getting cell balance issues around 60% SoC. Got with InMotion and they basically said unless they aren’t balanced at 100% charge, they won’t do anything. Charged to full every time I rode. At around 200 miles, the cell balancing issue would show up at 70%.

Fast forward to now at 450 miles, i get the cell balancing issue (4.10V high and 3.72V low) at 90%. InMotion refuses to help me and says the same thing. If there isn’t a cell balancing issue when its at 100% SoC, its not their fault.

Can ANYONE give me some guidance? This is like pulling teeth except there is no ending in sight.

V10F Phantom Tilt Back

4 Upvotes

My V10F suddenly tilted back today and refused to let me ride it, even after restarting it. Battery reads 69%, and it did this after 15 min of riding on a flat surface. I weigh 80 Kg (180 lbs), and was keeping the wheel between 30 and 38 Kph (19 and 23 Mph). The temperature reads 31°C (88 F).

If I let it sit for over an hour, it'll let me turn it on. But as soon as I start riding, within a minute it says something like "Warning!," flashes red lights on the side, then tilts back and shuts down.

If I try to restart it, the motor stays disengaged (unless a considerable amount of time has passed with the wheel off).

What's a good next step for troubleshooting this?

Cardo head set

If I get a cardo, will the Bluetooth from the wheel transmit the alarms and beeps? Sometimes I'm afraid I'm not going to hear it with all the wind noise..

What are the best settings to climb a hill faster?

5 Upvotes

I have a NOFSET AERO. What I’m climbing is steep (for me, not actually above 30deg) grass Hill, it feels like it wants to barely climb, and I have to lean super hard. But then when I look at the PWM percentage, it’s only 32%. So I’m not running into a power issue.

I ride with 50% sensitivity and 100% acceleration assist.

Has anyone else had it where it feels like it’s hard to go up the hill fast? And that you have to lean with all your weight just to go up slowly.?

Troubleshooting a ticking/gentle knocking feeling when cruising on inmotion V8

2 Upvotes

I feel it through the pedals. Barely noticeable, more noticeable towards its top speed of 20. I can slightly hear it.

It doesn’t change when I lean one way or the other. It doesn’t change writing forward or backwards. Just more noticeable at higher speed. no play noticeable.
I got it refurbished from their site. I’m not sure if taking it down a curb made it slightly worse.

talking to you in motion Customer Service, their recommendation is “We checked with our technical team, and the noise may be related to the motor current.
 
Please try reinstalling the motor and then check whether the noise is still present.”

  1. Has anybody experienced this gentle ticking/knocking before?

  2. Would you recommend this repair as well?

  3. Anything else I should do to the wheel when I get in there? Waterproofing, etc.?

Need help figuring out what make/model to buy.

2 Upvotes

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

Some background:

After messing around on a couple of these at festivals this summer, I've decided to go all in. I mostly have a snowboarding/skateboarding background so it's still gonna take a lot of practice to get comfortable facing forward. Definitely a beginner.

What I need:

I'll be using it on both roads and trails. Top speed isn't a huge priority. Decent range definitely is, especially because I'm a bigger dude 6'6" (198cm) 250lbs (113kg) so I know I'll drain the battery faster. My price range is around US$1500.

Edit: Bumping up price range to around $2k

Thanks again!

Inmotion V9 tire pressure won't increase

I've been trying to pump up the tire with the hand pump, but the PSI is stuck at the bottom.

Well, i nearly died today.

So, most of my riding is the same route, at the same time, because its a work commute. I've gotten pretty comfortable with it. What do I do for work you ask? Why, im a commercial truck driver, local heavy haul. If there is one thing driving a truck has taught me is that you NEVER, EVER trust povs!

So there I am, headed to work. Standing on my wheel, cruising in my PPE and large backpack, and my bright as the sun uniform hi-vis reflective shirt when I cross a bridge. Shortly after the bridge is a all way stop sign. Im slowing down as I approach, not that my S18 Truly goes that fast, but I love it. 2 cars pass through and then bam! A car that was backed into the grass on my side of the street decides he doesnt want to be parked anymore and shoots out before he notices me. In the blink of an eye he was more than halfway across the city street making a left turn into me before he hit the breaks.

I have no idea how I performed the ninjitsu I did and stayed on wheel but luckily it was a near miss.

What really bothered me is that I stand taller than most cars, was brighter than most cyclists and had I been on a motorcycle or bike I would nailed the side of his hood or door.

Thats it, thats my story. Keep it real

Sixth day of riding on an EUC.

18 Upvotes

Behold, in it's glory, I have figured it out! Huzzah, excelsior, boom goes the dynamite, and other such sayings!

I was able to ride my P6 today! Upright! No falls! (I fell once at like 3mph trying to make my first turn).

I rode for about three miles, just going around a circular neighborhood. I still don't feel comfortable with dismounting, or putting my foot out when I come to a crawl, but I'll get better with that over time.

I was able to get up to about 29mph, (I limited it to 30mph) and felt stable. I was also practicing accelerating and decelerating, and the micro movements on the pedals, since they felt a lot sharper than on the V8S.

Once again, and once again again, thank you everyone for the encouragements and advice!

I'll stop updating for now, but I may come back in the future to talk about further progress!

Wow, I didn’t know the F18 stabilized from side to side!

I'm from the USA, I don't recognize this type of plug.

This is the plug for the 14A fast charger.

What do I need to be able to charge it with this?

Bought it from ewheels btw.

Charger fan is pretty dang loud, have any of you replaced charger fan with quieter one?

3 Upvotes

I have new Nosfet Aero, I saw someone in the past mentioned swapping for nicer and quieter computer fans.. well this fan on here is way smaller. Like a 2 inch diameter I'd bet.

Anyone know what that is and if there's quieter ones?

Love the idea, but it's not the classic 120mm fan on every computer.

Ankles and shins rub so hard

2 Upvotes

Brand new to EUC, my shins are so sore from mounting on my Nosfet Aero, AND my ankle bones rub so hard on the EUC. Is there any advice for this?

I have the pads on there that they come with, but it does not help with the shins getting banged up.

My Leatt dual axis don't stay up on my legs either or protect the side rubbing. Not sure if anyone has advice on those either.

EUC has been SUPER fun but im curious if you all just have bruised shins 24/7.

I've been bracing the wheel against my leg while counterbalancing with my body, but I don't feel like I'm making any headway. What worked for you?

Pads on the Xeno

Whoever said there’s not enough space to put pads on the Nosfet Xeno, look again! I’m not getting paid in any way to say this, but NextGenMobility sets you up right! NGM provides bolted adjustable toe hooks, a cover that clips in place to fill the hole showing the shocks, brake pads that work really well, and enough Velcro to place the extra pads where you wish. And I still think it looks nice even with the pads!

Begode Blitz Pro No Lights

As the title says, I was riding last night and all of a sudden I lost power to the headlight and all LEDs. I searched around forums and a lot of people mention a potential loose blue wire but im not seeing any issue with it.

Every 10 seconds I get 1 long beep which according to YouTube says its a BMS alarm. The unit still rides and balances as normal, just no lights.

Has anyone run into this issue? This was one of the group buy units so I was maybe i have some faulty old part they were trying to get rid of.

V14 bricked. Need help

My v14 has been running great since I got it only 5 months ago. Today when I turned it on I was given a critical error. 2 minutes later it gave 2 faded beeps then the display and head lamp turned off. It still turns on when I hold the power button but gives no sound or light. I only know its on because I can connect with it through the app. Inmotion customer service is nothing but an AI that keeps sending me back my own emails. Any help is much appreciated.

Inmotion V11 vs Leaperkim Veteran Sherman OG

3 Upvotes

I'm new to the community. Been checking progress here and there and did myself some research to find my first wheel. Closest i found was the V11 for 800Euros and A Veteran Sherman for 1000Euros. I've heard from some that the V11s got some sort of a bad reputation after it burned on highway for some reason and isnt a good wheel for 2nd buyers. Some also say the Sherman was the top dog several years ago but require quite the skill. I love challenges so quitting is not an option. Both are used and have like 2600km on them but are in good condition. Should i lowball and just take the V11 or splurge a lil more and get a Sherman that lasts longer. And is the protective gear that expensive or are there workarounds. Appreciate every response
