  1. hall sensor error is either the connector isn't plugged in well to the main board , the sensor wire is frayed/ shorted, or the sensor in the motor is defective in some way. I'd say the easiest step is to open it up, unplug the hall wire and make sure the wire is in good shape. Make sure the wire isn't pinched buy something and plug it back in securely. test ride -- most likely fixed. If not, definitely contact your dealer for a replacement motor. If you are hoss with electronics, you could pop open the motor and replace the hall sensor board and sensors, but I suspect by the question that might be a stretch.
  2. @philcal My riding has come along nicely! I am using it for my twice-weekly commutes on nice days. I am seeing a consistent 60F rise over ambient -- which, yes is inline with physics, as absolute temperature isn't as important to heat dissipation as difference between temperatures. Obviously, ambient humidity and even more importantly air density plays a large part -- with you being near sea-level you'll see a much better heat dissipation than I will at 6000 ft. I can estimate that on 95F days, I should be cautious with moderate and long slopes or steep ones, since I see a rise of 75-80F over ambient on a 1/4 mile 12-15% grade near my apartments.
  3. log the time and equipment needed to take those temperatures in a notebook and if that time isn't on her paycheck, turn it over to the state labor board --they take wage theft really serious.
  4. @DragonFZYou are exactly right -- I'm not pushing the EUC hard, and I'm inexperienced with it. This is why I was asking if a rise of 60F over ambient was normal. If I see +60 while strolling on level ground, it becomes very easy to expect double that over heavier use, which with a cut-out at 185F means a 70F day could see me hitting the cutoff. Now I know thermodynamics isn't exactly linear, so it's why I ask what other users see under normal conditions. knowing that would make it quite easy to see if a specific veteran is running outside normal, before it could fail while near traffic or something. My e-skate board controller has a rise of about 40F above ambient when climbing hills, yet the motors have a rise of nearly 110F. I wish the EUC world app would share anonymized ride data. While I appreciate the riding and training advice, my hour or so a week has me able to hop up and down curbs safely so far. I have a few more skills I expect myself to figure out before i will take this thing out where I have to worry about traffic, pedestrians or bicyclists. I've got a got a skills checklist based on the motorcycle safety course that i'll need to pass before I let myself out on trails and roads. Everyone learns in their own way and rate, it's not cool to push.
  5. I got a Sherman right around thanksgiving and have been spending an hour or so a week learning to ride. I'd really like to know what I can expect as normal, so when I see conditions outside of that I can look into what's going on... preferably before failure. I'll start with the stat that has me concerned, temperature. during my learning seasons, the temp has started at 90F, and generally sits around 110F --that's a rise of about 60F over ambient. Is this a normal temperature, or should I pop this thing open and see if a fan isn't working, or something.
  6. That tells me your'e ok with some quite terrible people being on your side. Unless a person adds to that they are also totally opposed to white supremacists and neo-nazis, that's all I need to know to mute. goodbye.
  7. Driving tanks, heavy metal concerts, and doing things like building super-sonic ping-pong ball launchers in the garage. Married, but she's just as likely to do something loud as I am. No kids -- we cut out the middleman and buy toys for ourselves!
  8. big nope on discussing the merits or not of capitalism, but this stands out to me: maybe I'm old school, but a quick squirt of WD-40 seems a lot easier than a bearing or motor replacement. roller skates, skateboards and even electric skateboards -- so CLP or WD-40 is what you do after wet riding/ skating conditions. probably don't have to take the thing as far apart to do compared to a full replacement. /just a bystander's 2 cents
  9. My go-to for off leash animals (and their owners) is a whistle. it's part of my EDC Specifically the fox 40 whistle (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000071K5K) it's loud and discordant like you wouldn't believe... loud enough to get the attention of of a Roller Derby gal starting to throw hands. it is loud enough to get the dog to think you are bigger than they can handle, and loud enough to completely derail the most deranged karen. "how dare you whis..TWEET!! "how dare[TWEET!!] "how[TWEET!!] works pretty well
