GavinGJ Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hello We got an EUC last week - a thing called an Earthwheel. I can find NOTHING online about this brand; I think it was marketed by a short-lived company here in New Zealand. I think the wheel is japanese-made. If anyone knows anything about these, I'd be keen to heard from you. It goes fairly well - after a couple of goes my 10 year old is riding it to school. The issue is that occasionally it starts to judder violently forward & back. I haven't looked inside it yet, but wonder if there is (1) too much backlash in the drivetrain (if there even is a drivetrain)? Do these things have hub motors, or what? (2) a problem with the gyro? The problem is sporadic, but would be good to fix it - any advice most welcome! Thanks Gavin GJ New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Do you have a picture of it? Curious how it looks. Usually, shudder indicates the board is loose and moves against the pedals (causing erratic and possibly self-amplifying input to the tilt sensor). It may be loose board screws or some cracks in the shell allowing the board to move.
