An actual SLOT, so the motor can just drop out!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that this isn't practical despite it look nice to have hidden screws. Edited August 29, 2019 by Unventor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seage Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hey @The Fat Unicyclist where exactly is the fan in my wheel? I didn't see it when I did nthe transfer, but I didn't fully unplug the motherboard. I've been having issues where the fan either has a bad bearing or is off axis or has dustbin it as it's super loud, sounds like it's struggling. If started after I dropped my wheel a while back, but I gave it a hard bounce and it's went away until recently when we went on a trail ride and I fell a.few times. Wheel went flying and suddenly the sound is back. It quiets down if I lift up the wheel and bounce it down. But slowly starts up again, which makes me think it's an off axis issue, but I'm probably wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that easy to see in the photos that either of us took, but it is under the capacitors. The "roundy" thing at the left end on the photo below; I still have a spare board, so let me know if you want some more specific photos...

I cant see it AT ALL, but at least i know where it is. Under those green things? Loll. Which i assume are the capacitors. Can you tell im learning as i go along?

We have a number of projects on the go (besides the EUC Bodyguards), but this one is near the top. Perhaps it's something to be unveiled at the LA EUC Games??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hello people, I am looking for a brand new motherboard for my 18L, I live in Singapore where all resellers have closed (cf e-scooter ban...), where can I find one online? I searched on Aliexpress and couldn’t find one. Do you know where I can buy one? Also any idea about the price? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! you could check with https://www.chicway.shop/ to see if they could get you one... where did you originally purchase it, passiongadgets or something? also how old is it, if its within one year you might be able to get a warranty replacement... you could just contact them and inquire https://www.kingsong.com/list-11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel is 2 years old. I will check your links to see. thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkererboi Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hey guys, I have a possibly stupid idea I would like to test if I can somehow get my hands on a 18l or 18xl for cheap - What happens if you put the 16x motherboard into an 18 inch wheel? My guess is that the motherboard will continue to drive the wheel thinking that it's a 16 incher - but the tyres will be moving faster relative to the rotor, thus possibly allowing a slightly higher top speed. Anyone tried this yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone tried this yet? Wouldnt it makes sense to try this with a brand/flavor of wheel that ISNT one of the most refined and expensive for its kind? In theory, you could go faster, but man o' man could you also VERY easily cause an overlean situation due to the increased torque required and the fw not being adjusted for it. Merely speculation, but it sure does sound like a waste of 2 expensive wheels, to try it. I do like where your head is at tho! Perhaps it would just be easier to hack the code in the 18?

A bunch of hacking gurus over at the ninebot forum mentioned that KS is basically unhackable for now.. Well it won't really be a waste for example if I manage to get my hands on a 18xl with a buggered motherboard, then instead of buying the 18xl board I buy a 16x board which costs basically the same. As for cutouts.. well i'll definitely be armouring up to the max if I ever manage to pull this off. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking I should have taken programming 20 years ago. I'd like to see how it goes, putting a 16x board in an 18, interesting idea at the least!

SpaceT Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi everyone, when I turn on my ks18XL always I can hear the fan turning on for a while. For some days now every time I turn on my EUC I hear no fan anymore. Should I worry? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
