Ju Reader Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 My new z10 has been working flawlasly and the battery has been lasting a long time so I've been very happy with it until yesterday when the app said there is a new firmware update and I didn't really want to update it with all the problems I've had with the kingsong but there wasn't an option to not update so I did and it was fine then I came back to later that night switched it on and it was shaking so I switched it off left it for a while switced it on again and it was constantly rock ing back and forth treid again later and it had stopped rocking and seemed OK so I whent round my kitchens and it felt strange like really spongy feeling I could bounce on my heels and it would flex back wards so the next day I got on it for my daily run and it felt OK for about 10 mins and then the spongy feeling was so I tried turning off and on a few times and through out the day it was coming and going so I was wondering if I could download the previous firmware to see if that gets rid of it has any one else had this problem or could it be something that needs changing in the app thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't have a Z10 but I've heard of the brake assist function. Is it possible this got turned on during the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Every Z10 firmware upgrade that I've seen, you had the option to ignore it. They never force you to do a firmware update. Perhaps you misunderstood the application prompts? The last couple of firmware upgrades have been BMS firmware. The BMS affects how the batteries are managed, so it seems odd that this upgrade would have affected the ride characteristics. Do you know exactly what firmware version that you applied? Was it BMS or the control board firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have assisted braking enabled but when I originally played with it, I could barely detect any difference in behavior. I'll have to turn it on again and see if I can notice anything.

I've got a charger now I'll test a few things today for the new update ,I wonder if regen braking has changed ,would a BMS update change that?

Ju Reader Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi I didn't get chance to test it on a long run I've been busy and it's been raining so I was going round my kitchen table and felt OK but I did notice that I like to practice going backwards in there so I can put a hand on the worktop if I loose my ballance so I usually go back and forth about 8ft trying not to put my hand on the top and I've been trying this on the z6 my old z10 and my new z10 and they are all fine but since I upgraded the firmware on this one I can only do it for about 5 minutes then I get flashing blue lights and beeping and a red triangle on the app saying error I looked setting to see what the temp was and that was high and I felt the side casing and it felt warm I used to be able to do it for ages and its probably not good for a unicycle just going back and forth in a small space for long periods. unless it's something else that's causing the error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to get this to happen by doing many continuous reversals. Keep doing it and the temperature will rise to 80-degrees and then then wheel will tilt-back, kicking you off the wheel.
