Gaz Bon Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi all The handle on my 16x will not latch so I can no longer pick the wheel up by handle Only one side ever latched correctly and was kinka noisy when riding as not located correctly So Recently had a good crash / face plant This may have contributed but now handle does not latch at all so can't pick up unless I grab the peddle mounts Any ideas on the mechanicals on the handle latches or having same problems Cheers Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 @Gaz Bon I have not had the need to open my KS16X yet. But Kingsong made some nice disassembling video and assembling video for the KS16X, they a disassemble video for KS18L and the stems of the handle seems very similar. The stem have a white plastic tube that is inserted into a black piece of plastic, that ensure the white tube is not moving about in the stem. When my trolley got stuck on my 18L it had somehow come loose and was impossible to move afterwards. I couldn't get the black plastic part out. Properly something similar has happened to your handle. The lift switch if different but simpler to remove and install now with the digital switch instead of the analogue stress switch/sensor. This is how parts look like with stress sensor. But the white tube and black steer piece is similar. I hope this helps you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 My old ACM is more dust-proof than the 16X! That looks awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I would suspect that the dust would penetrate all around the housing halves. Edited September 22, 2019 by buell47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Since I drive 95% off-road, this means that I have to dismantle the 16X first to seal it, after I get it on next Wednesday. Damn! Probably hard to seal with sponge rubber without affecting the LEDs, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
