    Bad charger. It's just China crap, so don't be surprised if it dies without any reason.

    These brick chargers are pretty rubbish, 10-15% annualized expected failure rate, AEFR. They're not all the same though, the King Song & Speedway chargers fail at a higher rate than the Gotway ones. 

    After some design changes to our rapid-charger, expecting to see the AEFR metric improve to just 2-3%.

    annoying 20kph limiter is obviously still in full effect for the first 50km; sucks! Wish KS would allow experienced riders to remove the annoying firmware limitations when receiving a new wheel. 

    Isn't it 3km to unlock to 40kph? You can also use WheelLog/Darknessbot to up the speed to the 40kph instantly without having to first clock up the 3km.

    Also @Jason McNeil when are you stocking these

    Just launched the Spider pre-order page yesterday. The product manual dimensions specs suggests that the handlebar is foldable (see link on the product page); the max speed on the Spider is 37MPH, does it really matter then if its 3600W vs 2960W? Max weight is nebulous figure, if a single motor 250W eScooter has a 100kg limit spec, there's really no reason why the dual-motor 1,320W Spider can't support a 120kg load.

    Thanks guys. I've sent an email to @Jason McNeil as well, as I said this is an expensive unit new in Oct I think it was, so we'll see. I'm going to drain the battery a bit and see if it will charge as suggested. I'll post back here and let you all know. Hopefully it works out, of all the things I considered going wrong with a wheel, the charger/charging didn't occur to me, it was board, mosfets, flat tire, etc.

    Probabilistically it's a charger problem: in a 'typical' brick charger failure, there's no sign of life when plugged into an outlet, although there have been exceptions to this. If, on popping off the panel,  the integrity of the charging circuits looks fine, replacement charger is logical next step.

    Classy wheel for a classy guy! Your name is written all over it Jason. 

    Hmm, thanks, but underneath that Morgan-exuded exterior, it really must be powered by steam; the thing maxes out at 20kph. :confused1: Seems like a perfect demonstrator vehicle of form over function.

    The forum said that everything is the same except the angle is lower, possibly the front glass shape is also changed. I will wait for @Jason McNeil to respond.

    Thanks @EUCMania, I've reached out to my Ninebot rep to see how we can get these new lens/headlights. It's great that they've come the recognition that the blinding-oncoming-pedestrians-instead-of-the-road beam needed improvement....
