Rotciv Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Anyone else not noticing the beep with the 14S, especially with wind and traffic noise? Had my first tilt back and I got startled since it was quite jarring. It felt like the wheel tried to kick me off the pedals. If I heard the beep, I would have slowed down. When I started listening for the beep, I could barely hear it. I wonder if future firmware can also use the speakers for the beep and not the voice prompt.

The Fat Unicyclist Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 One of the big issues with "beeps" as an alert is that any speed over 20km/h can become inaudible if there is much wind noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 They should have one of those ambient noise detectors like in some cars where as the car speeds up the volume automatically increases on the radio, but in our case it would be the beep volume. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! That way also the prompts and beeps wouldn’t annoy nearly as much when at home going for a quiet night ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotciv Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 The side speakers seems quite loud. Send the beep through them. Not only you get louder beep, but you also get redundancy. What happens when the buzzer fails? Hope tiltback wasn’t disabled ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
