cbgti Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Sometimes, I have some bugs with Lift sensors to cut the motor when I lift my KS18L... I have this wheel since one year now. I know that the wheel must be at 0km/h to activate the fonction. I made lots of setting (calibration of the sensors, thighten (or not) the screws of the sensors) but after I make a ride w on it, my lift sensor don't work correctly. I checked in the app and there is no malfunction with the two sensors (Sensor A and B are OK). When my KS18L leave the ground, I have the double-bip (motor cut activated) but EVEN I don't move, often, the wheel bips and the motor is re-engaged... Evidently, the wheel goes to the maximum speed with the voice message "Please Deccelerate!"... Not very discret... Is somebody here with ZERO problem with this lift sensor cut fontion? Is it a magical solution to increase the reliability of this fonction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the last 2 percent i pick it up, the Wheel first stops and then reengage, but as i hear the reengaging Beeps before, i can react. Most important is a proper sensor calibration by app. Which means in the first 5 Beep series, dont touch the Wheel, and on the second Beep series, just lift it up. That should do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbgti Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 @US69 Thanks for your reply... I'll redo it again. 98% is a very good score ! Even 90% could be OK for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circuitmage Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Yeah man, my lift sensors made my wheel crazy anytime I tried to use them. Disabling them with the latest FW, everything is good. I really really tried to use my lift sensor, and it was just not a very good thing for me. Seem to cause all sorts of problems. Maybe try disabling it and riding a while? Not a great solution, but it works for me. Otherwise you may have a controller board problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestorm Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have exactly the same problem. I did proper calibration several times but problem still persists. This occurs after ride, before ride it usually works as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie A. Steiner Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Same problem, tried recalibration but IT'S IN CHINESE!!! Can someone tell me the directions in English so I can go home and try it? When I try it it tries to calibrate but it says calibration failed because I can't read the instructions. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Palmer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Only one time has the lift sensor not worked as designed. But I was running down some stairs with it so I'm saying that was my fault anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
