My neighbor has a batch 2 16x and says this —— I’ve noticed that at lower speed, when I make a tight turn, when my wheel get straight again it’s already unbalanced. Sometimes it is too much forward and sometimes it is too much backwards —— Maybe he should apply the update as he hadn't yet. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Yes, that's exactly what's happened with mine. If you switch Bluetooth Music on and playing music it's going even worse. After the patch all was fine.

Patton250 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I just updated the firmware now. Now when I’m charging it it continuously beeps every 60-90 seconds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi folks, My recently received wheel (one week old) updated to 1.0.7, also have this issue of tilting (at lower) speed, perhaps also when cornering(?) I'm a newbie, it's why this issue is so difficult for me to sort it out, what's my part of the mystery I'm glad (sorry for you ) to know that I'm not the only to be plagued with this issue... I'll try to find the BT patch and hope I finally can (try to) ride this wheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have this issue. 1.0.7 is great. Love it so far. Big improvement in ride stability from 1.0.6. But I also lowered my tire pressure closer to 25psi, so can't tell source of improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampDylan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 2 hours ago, R2D2 said: this issue of tilting Is it a slow, forward tilt, randomly and then in a few seconds tilts back to level? I get this regularly with my 1.05. Worst is when it it dips down just as I'm about to climb a steep incline so my toes are almost about to touch the pavement. Come to think of it, no, it doesn't seem to happen at speeds 18mph and more thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now when I’m charging it it continuously beeps every 60-90 seconds. Yes, if you charge it with more than 5.01A the annoying beep/beep starts. This shit happens since firmware 1.0.7. I have send details to Micheal from KS, but maybe it's better more people should complain about this bug or damn feature. Charging with 5.10 - 5.16 A (fast charger from 1radwerkstatt, similar to the ewheels charger) Alarm sounds at: 1. 00:14 2. 00:47 3. 00:50 4. 01:25 5. 01:32 6. 01:35 7. 01:50 8. 01:52 9. 02:38 - set charging rate to 4A no alarm sounds at 4A 10. 04:34 - set charging rate back to 5A - alarm starts again. As soon as the CC phase ends and the CV phase begins, the current decreases slowly from about 5.15A. As soon as the current has dropped to 5.00A, the alarm tone is gone. If other people have no issues, it's because not all 5A fast chargers are charging with little more than exactly 5A.

I'll try to find the BT patch and hope I finally can (try to) ride this wheel... Try the Bluetooth patch and also try a good calibration ( best way) get the bottom foam out of the box the wheel came with Download a good level app( i use bubble) Place wheel in foam (it keeps it well sturdy) Use level app on the side of the wheel so it's level,, vertically,,, (only use side of phone where there's no buttons otherwise you'll have to use a spirit level if you got buttons both sides) Then put level on footplate untill it's at 0.01 degree so it's slightly up at the front ( using app is good as it tells you digitally) ,,, this will change when you turn it back on but at least you have a practice and then you can see what level it's on before you do the calibration,,, Turn on wheel ( this is where it goes to your level 😁 as mentioned) Press calibration in kingsong app The wheel should then turn off And then make sure you level it like before (vertically and horizontally 0.01 ) While Holding wheel still,, press power button for 3-5 seconds , let go and it should beep few times , while still holding it steady it should then make another beep and it should be set. always looking at the level to keep it 0.01 It only take a little movement to knock it out a few degrees so hold it steady through the process ,, maybe good to use 2 phones if possible Do this procedure in your home on a true flat ground Hope this helps 6 hours ago, WenInPhilly said: I do not have this issue. 1.0.7 is great.

Firmware 1.07 doesn't tilt for me when going uphill as firmware 1.05 does it slightly but nothing serious , when going uphill you will notice it more, are you sure it's just not leveling out cause your going uphill . firmware 1.07 is better for these situations Edited October 5, 2019 by stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I suspect it could be a deliberate function so that one does not charge at a terminal with more than 5A. I could also test if 3A on port 1 and 2.5A on port 2 would trigger this alarm. I guess not. But I can't test at the moment. Battery full and shit weather 11 minutes ago, stephen said: I use 5 amp fast charger mine doesn't beep . Does it beep with standard charger? With how much ampere exactly does the charger charge?

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Should the alarm really be a new feature, then they should also leave some tolerance, because not every 5A charger loads almost exactly with 5A, depending on the calibration with 0.1 - 0.3A more. That shouldn't be a problem. Edited October 5, 2019 by buell47 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it’s a known issue for fast chargers set at 5 A. I will verify that this afternoon when I charge it after using it this morning.

Had a real blast today I love this wheel 😁😁 Sorry but you have to watch all 5😂 or skip to the last if I'm that boring 😁😁 Thanks guys Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Finally watched these. Very good Stephen. Only wished you have switched to 1.05 at ~25%, but still great info. My take away is that I'd probably be satisfied with 1.07 because I spend all of my riding below 25-mph and mostly between 18 & 22 mph. But based on my conservative nature of riding (no hard accelerations while I'm riding fast) I'm still sticking with 1.05. Particularly after you stated that 1.05 has stiffer pedals. I like hard mode like what you get with Gotway. I'll see if you ever posted some some more 1.05 follow-up videos. Thanks again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back on 1.05 doing more tests and tbh they are both good firmwares it was 1.06 what was ridiculous regarding throttling, 1.05 is good as long as you know it's limits , I'm testing 1.05 still and had no issues , i think I'm finished with testing now so i can just ride and enjoy without trying to go speeds just to test , I'll obviously keep doing videos with commentary though 😁 i love my mic lol, Cheers marty👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mostly at relative slow speed, when accelerating there is no dipping issue on my wheel, slowing down or when making an u-turn on a small place (with reverse) then I couldn't stay on the wheel but it's fixed with the famous BT patch Can't believe why KS don't issue an official patch so everyone can use it. I discovered it here on the forum... Thank you again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
