Marc Font Garriga Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hello good afternoon! Has this happened to someone with the wheel? when you accelerate or brake at very low speeds it makes a strange sound and the touch is not the same as if the wheel were less reactive. I repeat, Is only do it at low speeds, cruise mode no problem, but I'm a little worried.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However - such repeated sudden accelerations and decelerations at such low speeds are poison for the wheel. It won't survive it... In such situations the highest currents flow.

meepmeepmayer Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 This looks to me like a mild case of a loose board. Make sure the board is tight in the shell. If it can move a little, this usually leads to this kind of vibrating. So tighten the screws holding the board (if necessary, and don't overtighten) and check for cracks or broken plastic pieces that might allow the board to move a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywokast Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 uh no that's not normal at all.. sounds like when you stress an mten motor.. you should never hear that noise from a ks motor... something definitely loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yep, sounds like the control board or the bolts that attach the shell to the pedal brackets are loose. The shell bolts don’t even require opening up the wheel to tighten. They are located under the small pads just above the pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They align well enough on mine that I can tighten the bolts. Can’t remove the bolts through the holes, but tightening works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
