owheely 8 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The official Solowheel bluetooth phone app has a setting for "Power" which I assume is the engine power. The factory default is 81% or something like that (don't have my wheel with me at the moment). Have fellow Glide 3 owners ever moved this setting up or down? I've been riding my Glide 3 at the factory default for over 300 miles. What am I missing out on by not boosting up to 100%? Is it worth it? Big battery usage tradeoff?

WARPed1701D 2,588 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think you might be confusing two different things. There is a power button in the app to turn the wheel off remotely. There is a volume slider to set the non critical sound volume. There is no slider to limit power though. Care to post a screenshot of the slider in question? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBinBalt 48 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hello- I'm a new rider/owner, and new to the forum. I've got a Glide2 and Glide3. Both have the power setting that owheely mentions above. It is a separate slider adjustment in the Solowheel app, actually next to the volume slider. I turned both of mine up to 100% shortly after getting the units. Everything seems to be fine with them, though I don't have much comparative riding time on the lower settings. My Glide2 shipped at 80%, the Glide3 at 81%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mono 3,136 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Trying the wheel after setting the Max power slider to its minimum should give some insight on what the slider does. Is the minimum 0%? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBinBalt 48 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That's interesting, I'll give it a try and report back. I've recently set my wheel back to 80% from 100%, my impression is that I'm not draining the battery as quickly, but it still has plenty of power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kasenutty 2,191 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I set mine at 2% once and rode all the way to Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBinBalt 48 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Got around to trying this. Set it at around 20%. When I jumped on and tried to get going it almost immediately went into tilt-back. Also, I was riding with a bunch of e-skaters in DC and I couldn't quite keep up with them, I kept getting the alarm. I checked I was set at 80%. I put it back to 100% and was much more easily able to stay with the skaters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
