parepko Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Good day to all! Since recently, I became a lucky owner of Rockwheel GT-16. This wheel is a dream for quick ride and all is fine. But after I had to carry the wheel on myself hoping for the last blinking led i found that the battery indicators must be improved. In stock these 10 led indicators that can't objectively give you battery level information. On my previous wheel Firewheel indicator showed level and percentage of battery remain. So i decided to do same small upgrade of indication on my new Rock. Long thought and tried where to place it. But last moment i decided to keep original design and install new indicator in place of one of the stock indicators. I had to cut the body inside, replace the dark plexiglas with a transparent one, shorten the standard display board. Here is my result. Everything took about 2-3 hours + about 3-4 $ for the indicator. I bought it from Ali. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V24V36V48V60V72V84V/32845700146.html I will be glad to hear your stories.

Next time when i open my GT i will try to take a picture of it inside. By words.... I demount led window. Expand window frame to fit indicator. Cut out from transparent plexiglass window and glue to body. Inside body. I had to divide led mainboard in two to have enough space to install indicator. It connected to main battery. I wanted the indicator to be turned on at any time, regardless of whether the wheel was turned on or not. So i install little switch opposite the power button. All inside if fixed to thermal glue sticks. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
