hal2000 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So, it's been almost 3 weeks since my 18L died due to so called "trolley lock issue". I got it back now and, guess what, IT'S ALIVE! Many thanks to eunicycles.eu. I've bought some cars in my life and I have to say that I have never met such a passionate, knowledgeable and dedicated car dealer as Richard is a EUC dealer. Anyways... Ritchie made me believe that the lift sensor feature is one of the key ones on 18L so I will keep it ON. Whatever happens I will keep you informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circuitmage Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I strongly suggest you turn it off. I was 1.07 when mine locked up. And, it only works about 40% of the time , from my 1st week using it. I take back that suggestion. I just had lock up #2 with lift disabled. Seems it does not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomOnWheels Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It's now about 3 weeks since I've changed the motherboard, fix trolley and calibrate the sensor. 200km done, side lights off, sensor on, walking around 500m per day in trolley mode and all good ! No issue anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are completely closed, the mechanism that is suppose to lock them in this position do not work correctly. For this, you have to dismount the tubes and fix the mechanism. Also after doing that I've noticed that the screw that fix the sensor to trolley tubes was putting to much effort on it so i decided to fix it too. After calibrating with app, all now works expected. It is just important to pay attention to completely lock the trolley before holding up the wheel as if only one side is locked it will put too much effort and brake it again. All in all the trolley system is a big industrial and engineering mistake. I'm actually looking on how to replace it with trolley tubes coming from Delsay or Samsonite suitcases.

TomOnWheels Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This is true... but there is also more generic issue with trolley being really bad quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 How does the lift sensor actually work? What does the sensor actually sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seba Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 42 minutes ago, Mono said: How does the lift sensor actually work? What does the sensor actually sense? It measures force that is used to lift the wheel. There are two load cells, also called tensometers. They are very similar to the load cells used in bathroom scales.

Circuitmage Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 My local dealer did some updated to my unit, inspected my controller board and re-calibrated my lift sensor. It seems to work about 75% of the time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
