Thought I would give an update as to how it played out for me... I returned the V8s that would not charge past 89% (on the app). Bought a different one, also from Amazon. This second one shows that it will not charge past 94%. So that's an improvement.... BUT it would be nice if a brand new unit would charge to 100%. I kind of gave up after the second try. I'm having fun on my V8S and it has plenty of range (I tend to ride about 5-10 miles each ride). @Skeptikos Please post an update here after you receive and replace your control board. Also, how did you communicate with Inmotion for the support that you got? Thanks.

Appreciate the thoughts and various/differing opinions on this topic! After reading these (and the comments on that first youtube video) I went for a ride... One of the ideas from these comments that I was trying out was... holding my chest just a bit forward and up (as if standing with pride). It felt good and seemed to help: 1) prevent wobbles 2)overall control 3)how my body felt afterward (good and not fatigued) Thought I would share in case that's helpful. 🙏🏽💛

Going back to these original thoughts and questions... (a) and (c) still seem the most likely to me. I'm going to skip trying to measure any voltages and look into returning the unit I received that never charges beyond 89%.

Right, I had the same thought. I would be trying to discern a pretty small position difference in that needle! 🤪

Right... I could use some tips on how to do this! I have an analog multimeter (this one). But the prongs are too big to fit into the charger plug (the plug that goes into the EUC). And then where would I measure the voltage coming off the battery? Thanks. 🙏🏽

Hello! I recently purchased the Inmotion V8S. It has the issue you all are describing... it will not charge past 89%. Here are my thoughts on the issue: a). It seems reasonably likely that there is one or more bad (or partially bad) cells and that is the reason for it not being able to charge 100%. b). I contacted Inmotion through Amazon and they stated that "although the APP shows 89% of the power, it is actually full. Our engineers can help you calibrate. " They then asked me to contact them at an email outside of Amazon (which I have not done). c). If (a) above is true and this is a common problem--as it seems to be from this thread--then it's reasonably likely that their calibration is a hoax. What I mean is they will make what currently shows 89% the new 100%. Nothing will actually change but it will make the user happy to see 100% on the app. If there is a bad cell that will remain. So my questions to this forum are two: 1). Do you think (c) above is a reasonable hypothesis? 2). Do you think I should return my V8S for a new/different one?
