Stein1922 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I just got off my kingsong 18 XL about 10 minutes ago I have everything set up properly the first two alarms are turned off the third alarm is set at the minimum and for some reason as I’m writing the pedals seem to adjust up and down really quickly which makes me kind of nervous and then If I accelerate a little more the pedals tilt all the way back and they continually beeps as it’s tilting me all the way back and I have to jump off of it and grab it .... this is super dangerous I don’t know what’s wrong. I have the new firmware, I have the new app and its still acting weird and I’m not trying to die riding a unicycle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying W Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The tilting back and beeping sounds like an over voltage situation. Also, check where you set tiltback in the app. I dont remember what it's called in the new app but its independant of the alarm settings. Setting the 3rd alarm to the min might be making it beep really early too. Hope that helps somewhat, I dont have any other suggestions.

I will try different settings but it’s really frustrating. My KS 16 Has been fine and all my gotway unicycles are set it and forget it and I love it.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over voltage is not a setting, @Flying W was referring to being over charged (and then presumably riding down hill) So the questions is: was it charged to 100% and were you trying to ride down hill? (although the hill is not strictly necessary) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things I know of that create what you describe, are the over voltage (ruled out) and over heat, not discussed yet, but you mentioned nothing that would indicate an over heat condition. Your OP was Thursday. Have you ridden it since then? It's a pity we don't have an official King Song Representative on here (paid or unpaid)to talk you through this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it just looks like tiltback limit set too low or even initial limit of 20 kph. 20 hours ago, Stein1922 said: yes charged to 90% and no not downhill What distance have your already ridden on your brand new KS-18XL? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the new firmware, I have the new app and its still acting weird and I’m not trying to die riding a unicycle Sorry for beeing late to the thread…..Sounds for me like wrong adjusted Speed/tiltback Alarms, as they Need to be "confirmed by a beep" when set by the app, only then they work. If you have further Problems feel free to contact me by PM.... In general: As @Seba said...it is Pretty hard to follow each and every KS related thread, especially as i try to cover other Forums, several Facebook and Whats App Groups, too… In case of Problems and Need of fast help i can only advise to contact me by PM...as allready stated in my signature 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a rep (volunteer) US69 (right above your post). He's not a miracle worker, and he has a day job, but he helps when he can. He has already responded. In the future, use the private message (PM) function to get his attention. Also you can alert him to a King Song issue by mentioning him, like this: @Smoother except type his handle not mine. I didn't type his because I didn't want to alert him unnecessarily. type @ followed by anyones handle, then pick from the list that appears. If no list appears, erase the @ and start again. (space before the @ but not after). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what issue you have exactly? Have you made a Firmware upgrade? It is important to calibrate the Wheel after doing so.

null Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If you updated the firmware it will reset calibration to whatever the wheels position was when calibrating, could be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3m0nzz Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 No firmware update. Just constant beeping and tilting all the way back at speeds >5 mph. My battery is charged to 89% so I do not believe overcharging is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3m0nzz Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I locked and unlocked the wheel and the problem persisted. How do I update the firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Within the app, some sub menu. Leave the wheel at the angle you want neutral. (Sides level) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3m0nzz Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Isn't that just calibration? I don't believe that changes the firmware, but totally correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Upgrading the firmware can reset the calibration, my KS16 went all wonky as I didn’t expect that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
