    • About foot placement - you need to have ankles same position as pedal "L" brackets. My feet is 1/3 over pedal front.... You don't put your toes same level as pedal front! But bit or quit a bit over pedal front! More feet over pedal front = easier to start going - harder to stop. Toes right against pedal edge = harder to start going - easier to stop. (Weight is more at front or back..) Also in APP you can play with pedal angle degrees.. Pedal front more up/down. Leaving it at 0 = best. Yes it feels crazy riding 1/3 feet over pedals..... It feels like you gonna slip off while braking. But that's how i ride now for 3 years.. (And i have no pads.) Also please remove pads... You will be doing yourself a favor while learning.
    • Seems either the power button connector is not connected right or the power button did not survive the weather exposure.  If you're able to reach the power button pins, you might want to try shortening them to see if that causes the wheel to turn on or off!  
    • I had zero gear while learning myself - yes i fall two times.. But noting crazy at those low speeds. Simple belly flop.. and sideways fall. (But those falls was when i was already riding..) I'm 6 feet and 280lbs.. When wheel is moving/riding you don't need to keep the balance almost at all.. Same as on regular bicykle while standing in place - you need to balance.. When riding - you don't need to balance.. That's why i'm saying lean fast and start going, so you don't need to balance in place! My biggest tip is simply start falling/leaning very much to start riding, otherwise you will be standing with both feet on pedals IN PLACE till losing balance and stepping off. (THIS was my biggest mistake - i wasn't leaning enough to start going. If i did SUPERMAN lean in first day, i think i would have been riding right there and then, not at 4rth day, when i did the lean..)
    • Why angry? I'm just calling out all the small comings, of otherwise great wheel. I have said many times Falcon is amazing pocket rocket. It has amazing all steel build.. I'm just talking MORE about all the wrongs - that needs to be fixed. (In general people talk less about what is great, but more about what is bad and shortcomings..) Also all recent wheel are over 30kg weight - meaning there has not been any wheel to look at for me, aside of A2 and Mten4/mini. Aside of old models.. (Tell me how happy should i be. If i see no wheel being made in the ~20kg weight.)    But yeah unsympathetic is right. I could care less about others.. But sadly in real world you have to play nice with others.. And have to put on smile and give a hand to someone struggling. Otherwise you are a "dick", self-centered with high ego and everyone hates you. Luckily this isn't real world and i could care less what some "strangers" think about me.  (And i'm not playing "nice" in real life because i have to, but because you can't use the people around, if they all hate you.) Also you are reading a text - how do you know how one sounds? English isn't my first language - self learned. Like now i'm actually little bit smiling to myself, as i'm making these replies.. At least i'm happy that some people are mentioning me here - meaning they are thinking about me. <3 Meaning you took your sweet time and wrote to me.  
    • What color of F22 can be liked by most people? How about all black? I think this is more appropriate.
    • I haven't owned a kingsong but my thoughts go to the motor. Maybe it has failed somehow. Did you connect the cables in the right combination of colors? They can't be mixed. There's also the possibility that the new board is in transport mode. There's a prodecure to disable it.
    • Same thing just happened to me slow speed 4 inch curb. Left pedal all four bolts snapped off. I'm weary about the v12 nw. I weight 200lbs. Gone off small curbs before.  No jumping.. I replaced all with new 5mx16mm 12.9 bolts. I bought extras and am going to switch them out every 500 miles. I've got 1300 miles on the wheel. No the pedals weren't loose... beware!!!!!!
    • So my extreme is around 800km now, never been ridden in wet conditions. I had to open the motor once before to zip tie the hall sensor cable down cause it was getting hit by the motor cover making clicking sounds. Recently I've been noticing this sound, the sound might of been there long before, but never noticed it. I sounds like a knocking noise whenever I spin the wheel with my hand. The sound presents itself during low speed spinning, and disappears as It picks up speed. I can repeat the noise by going back and forth at low speed with my hand. Is this the bearing going bad or normal? Little recording of what I mean. https://streamable.com/05r94o
    • At the very beginning, because everything is so new and unknown, without a prior reference derived from experience, and the body doesn't really know what is OK or not OK intuitively, it is hard to know what to do. It does take time to build-up experience to acquire perspective and understanding. It is too easy to say trust something blindly, and erroneously exposed oneself to too much risk. On top of that, there is also the threat of cutout, due to over torquing. All you need at the beginning is just enough acceleration to get to a rideable speed for your balancing skill level. I primarily commute, and do go over all kinds of road surfaces. Based on experience, I know that it is really easy to get caught off-guard and lose balance resulting in a crash, when I lean forward too much. And hence, I don't like to lean forward very much. But I do like to go at a good pace. So I rely on the right technique in combination of "ease of acceleration settings" to get the acceleration I want, but without exposing myself to too much risk.  
    • I think its just such a weird feeling. I feel like im gonna faceplant, but thats how you do it lol.
