Biped Phil Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Why does my Solowheel 3 point my toes down, toward the center of the earth, when I go around a corner? Do all wheels do likewise? Can I reduce the effect? I do not want to stub a toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Solowheel 3 = Glide 3 aka Inmotion V8? Recalibrate the wheel. Pedal dipping is due to a bad calibration. Our wheels' tilt sensors aren't very good, so this can happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biped Phil Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 OK, I found two calibrations: one described in a youtube from Speedy Feet, the other in a blog post with a byline of @Jeffrey Scott Will. It got dark so I don't know how they turned out, but here are the links!

meepmeepmayer Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Simply adjusting the pedal angle won't do anything. You need the real calibration that resets what "level" means to the wheel. The tilt sensors are pretty bad in our wheels and can drift with time, meaning a wheel can start to do the pedal dipping. Also, a bad calibration (wheel tilted to the side while calibrating, or something like this) can produce this from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Good post and info, I had to reset my glide 2 once so far for this exact thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) It's vitally important that the wheel is 100% upright in the left and right plane when re-calibrating. Not doing this leads to the toe dip. Leaning it up against a wall is not good enough. You must find a way to make sure its perfectly vertical (left and right), front and back angle is up to you.

Biped Phil Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 The @Jeffrey Scott Will page recommends standing the wheel upright on its fender. The InMotion Solowheels' fender stand is a great design feature, for this purpose and everyday utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
