Popular Post Lukasz Posted October 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Hello All Ninebot Z10 pedals are hard to open... (in fact E+ also, and Gotway pedals as well) so I have solved this problem - It took me some time to prepare it and test it well, but now they are ready - I have designed pedal openers which can be attached to original pedals! See the picture below and see my YT channel for more information about this and various other mods also www.youtube.com/lukluk - please subscribe if possible. For those interested in obtaining by registered post printed and ready to stick pedal openers (with highest strength professional 3M double sided tape) please send me an email to a64@interia.pl There is also the option to get set - pedal openers + switch protector mod - described in the link below https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/11420-ninebot-z10-switch-protector-mod/ Mods for Z10 - showing the pedal openers (early version) in action - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_masv8UTOE&t=188s For printing - I suggest ABS or Ultra PLA, with 0,15mm layer. For those without access to 3d printer, or who do not want to bother with printing and double sided tape types and cutting - please contact me by email.

Marek Fucila Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Thank you Lukasz. I have printed it from PETG using 20% infill. Already broke one of them after hitting a crub. Going to print another.:-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 You should print this in some super stiff TPU. ColorFabb nGen Flex seems like a good candidate, or NinjaTek Armadillo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Looks good! I have heard that PET-G can be brittle. I have printed from Ultra PLA and also from ABS. For those with access to the printer it also works as the "scratch protector" as it is easy to re-print. During practical refinement of the design I have reduced the total thickness and I have added vertical fins to make the construction stronger, but still flexible enough to stick it to the pedal surface which isn't flat.

Marek Fucila Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I think more infill will help next time. It was only 20% and it has broken in the weakest part. I have reprinted it with 100% infill and will see. The rest of the broken one is still on pedal and can be still used for opening, as it is symmetric.:-) The problem is not in the design, but in my skills to go over curbs. The wheel is too heavy to jump on them and I still can not estimate what height is safe to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 100% infill is probably not needed, but I suggest 2 mm walls and top/bottom. When getting through the curbs try to attack them close to perpendicular, and just slightly jump, wheel without the load will jump by itself... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOne Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I would thank @Lukasz for his pedal mods, that I printed and successfully attached to my Z10 (with epoxy, I want to be sure...😜). Give them a try, and you won't live without from that moment on... Edited December 12, 2018 by GMOne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramking Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi Lukasz, First of all, I'd like to thank you for your reporting on the Z10. I've been following you for some time on Youtube and now here. Especially your solution driven approach on the flaws that you discover, are super in my opinion. I was hoping to print out the pedal opener and the switch protector, but I can't seem to find the stl-files anywhere. If you posted them here somewhere, could you please show me where? If you didn't, would you please share it with me? Thanks a lot and keep on posting your vids! Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planemo Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi Lukasz, I sent you an email a few days ago to order some Z pedal openers. I didn't get a reply yet so thought I would post here. Hopefully we can get an order arranged. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hello All, Sorry for the late answer – I was on holidays away for two weeks without the access to the net (on the sea) And now have many emails to answer, etc. Please be so kind and pm me at a64 at interia.pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planemo Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hi @Lukasz, did you ever get round to making pedal openers to fit the stock Sherman pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
