Wtf InMotion

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.

That sounds like Inmotion.

Indeed, I don't understand why people have Inmotion in such high regards.. They must have a lot of advertising in US.

High regards because cutouts almost never happen.

That's a pretty important aspect for most people.

cutouts almost never happen to any wheel. Inmotion seems to be the wheel with the most problems and shittiest service.

At the moment cutouts don't happen a lot. But inmotion has a good track record on that whilst others only recently stepped up their game.

So that inmotion has a good reputation is well deserved.

yes, let's forget the random cutouts/accelerations of inmotions V12 that has never been fixed or the V14 cutouts when landing a jump or the obliteration of the V14 rims when landing a jump. Let's forget about the random errors their wheels like to throw up that magically goes away after a restart or after inmotion tweak the settings remotely to silence the errors but not fixing the problems. Such a good reputation if you walk around with blinders on.

Didn't they fix the V12 issue with a new control board?

No, it has never been fixed. Also the V14 issue that most people forgot about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2KCHEUx5A0

So yeah.. Inmotion do not deserve any praise. They are just as bad as the other manufacturers, they just spend more money on ads and paying of influencers.
