eWheels thought my problem was 75% something wrong with the control board and 25% chance something wrong with the motor. They sent me a new control board (I bought it) and I got it installed. I just rode 44.1 miles yesterday and everything went great. So far so good. @gon2fast You may want to consider that your problem may be the control board and not the motor. I rode another 42 miles on 09/03 with no problems as well.

Everything eWheels told me to check out looks perfect. The five pin sensor for the Motor Hall and wires near the axle of the right side panel all look perfect. When I roll my wheel through the HA menu all codes progress normally 100 101 001 011 010 110 and 000 and 111 never present. I still haven't ridden it since the one E-HALL incident though...I'm still nervous about it.

Price reduced to $1,650

That is a good looking tire. Just to be clear: it's the front tire I would want and not the rear, correct? I think this is probably obvious since 80/80-14 does not appear to be available for the rear.

Thanks for the suggestion. The tire my Sherman came with is not the knobby one. I think it's this one: You can also see it in my profile background picture:

OK, thanks. Well I guess I should play it safe and get a new motor assembly. I may as well put the best tire I can on it while going to all this trouble. Any recommendation on what would be the highest quality, truest-round street tire? I never could get the tire that came with it totally wobble free. Kenda I think it is.

Thanks for the information. Interesting. Do you think we can put the 2,800W Sherman Max motor in it? Or would that be a bad idea? It's apparently in stock (no backorder note like the 2500W). https://www.ewheels.com/product/sherman-max-motor-assembly-2800w/

Thanks for the reply! However, Oh...great. So we need to replace the motor after 2,500 miles or so? Not good. Will we have to replace it again after ~2,500 miles on the next motor as well? How extensive of an operation is replacing the motor? I guess you replaced yours. Where did you buy it from? How much $$?

I just came back from a 46-mile ride on my Sherman. About 10-miles from home I was coming up to an intersection (on the sidewalk) and slowed to a stop and grabbed the Stop sign post intending to just balance there while holding the post. As soon as I did, the wheel disengaged from the motor. Luckily since I was stopped, or almost stopped, I was able to step one foot down, balance myself, and not fall. The screen listed E HALL. I had no idea what happened but I instinctively turned the wheel off and back on and it was normal again. I have never experienced this before, and my Sherman has almost 2,800 miles on it now. I rode it home more gingerly than normal, between 15 and 30 MPH but taking it easy and straight, etc. in case it happened again. I successfully made it home without incident. I searched this forum and found this thread. I'm wondering what I should do from here. I wonder if it means one of these sensors may be going out or something.

I've had this S18 for awhile now but I hardly ever ride it. I always choose to ride my Sherman because I like going fast and for long range rides, so this S18 just sits at home and only has 65.5 miles on it. It's actually a replacement S18 that eWheels sent me since my first one, a 1st generation one, had a locked up suspension. I had a lot more miles on that one. I honestly can't remember which generation this one is, I think 3rd or 4th...it's actually documented somewhere in these forums, if I could just find it. But this one has a smooth, well working, suspension. Anyway, here's the details: KingSong S18 - $1,650 (OBO) + Shipping if not sold locally (Price Reduction 05/27/2023) 65.5 miles on the wheel (I am the original owner) Comes with original box/manual/charger/pump (I'll have to modify the Styrofoam packing due to the power pad mods) Custom Power Pads (combination of Lukasz Power Pad & Bumper Kit plus some personal customization with Surf Board Traction Pads for added higher knee-contact torque) Shock Dust Guard by Lukasz Black Crow motor wire protector kit Black Crow EUC Docking Station Black Crow S18 Pedal Spring Set Stock Street Tire Stock Pedals with Grip Tape Stock Shock (works well) Yes, the stickers on the bottom of the pedals struggle to stay "stuck." KingSong didn't use very good glue for them. I put double sided tape on them or other glue to try and help them stay there. They didn't use good glue on the pedal grip tape either, but I reglued them with better glue, and they are secure now. It's virtually brand new with only 65.5 miles on it.

What does this mean exactly? I bought all my wheels through eWheels, and now I'm going to try to sell my first wheel second hand here. Does eWheels let you use their rates to send a wheel to someone else or something?

I just did this, and while it works to keep my pedals tilted forward, you are right in that the wheel wants to move forward on its own. So, while it's a work-around for pedal tilt, the wheel will not stabilize itself when I'm not on it and will try to move forward. So, not the best thing...the wheels that allow the pedal tilt option still stay stabilized and don't try to move on their own regardless of what pedal tilt you choose...

Thanks for that tip! Of course! I'll do that, thanks.

All my wheels do not move at all on a flat surface. They stay perfectly still. As a matter of fact, even on a non-flat surface they stay still. Can you elaborate on what you want me to try? Because I am confused.

I just rode my KingSong 18XL after ages of not riding it. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a pedal tilt option for some godforsaken unknown reason; so, the pedals are level. After 30-minute my feet and calves ached. This happened after riding my Sherman for 44-miles today with pedals tilted forward with no feet issues whatsoever. I also have over 5,000 total miles riding EUCs. Pedals tilted forward is the best for me. Also, I never slip off...all my wheels have coarse grit grippy tape surfaces and my shoes stick to them. I don't even have pedal spikes like a lot of people do, but the coarse grippy tape works perfect. I can even ride BMX tracks without issue of slipping off.
