Skecys Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hey guys; How often do you calibrate your EUC? I have an Inmotion V10 and recently upgraded to a KS16x. I rarely, if ever, had to calibrate the V10 after the initial time, I mainly did it now and then for peace of mind. The KS16x on the other hand seems to need a calibration every time I ride it, is this normal? The bluetooth patch seemed to have helped to an extend but I still find myself calibrating it alot. If I don't I get dips and tiltbacks on sharp turns (second batch 1.4board on 1.07 firmware). The behaviour returns after like a day sometimes less which is why I have to re-calibrate. I have no experience other then these two EUC's so hence I was wondering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I didn't calibrate none of my EUCs ever. NB S2 and Z10 Sometimes I recognised that the pedals seemed to dip forward or backward a little bit. Especially forward dipping appears within tight turns. I always ignored this and they turned back within the next few moments - not always within seconds but they did.

RetroThruster Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm pretty new too and having just owned the 16x, it's hard for me to compare it to anything else, I did do a short training course on an inmotion but it was on totally flat ground and experienced no tilting, I find that about every 3rd time I ride mine, I do a calibration, half of that time is just for subtle tilting that could almost be passed off as "in my head", bu the last time I rode it, my heels were getting pretty close to ground when turning left going slightly downhill, so I calibrated and all is good now. I remember after I charged mine the first time, I had to calibrate because it was really acting weird and me being so new, I kept stepping off of it thinking wtf is happening here, then Jason and the folks here helped me with my 1st calibration and it solved the issue, long story short, I do it often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I remember one time my wheel - the Z10 - didn't found it's right pedal-position and it seemed to me as it was "seeking" it for quite a few minutes. But after a while it found it again and works well since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoKnvl Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I calibrated my 16x once, right after I updated to 1.0.7. Never touched it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 V5f 1.5 y/o calibrated one time because it got really weird KS16s only a couple months old, no calibration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneta Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I sometimes calibrate (or miscalibrate?) in the middle of a long ride, to give my tired feet a bit different angle. Takes the whole of 10 seconds on my GT16 and doesn't require an app. Edited January 6, 2020 by Aneta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 MSuper 3 once 1,000 miles MSX once 3,000 KS18XL never 1,200 miles KS16s every 100 miles, front gradually tilts up over time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The only time was when getting my 18xl second hand and it was weirdly calibrated. Otherwise never needed, neither the ninebots nor the 16s.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddolik Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 How do you calibrate? Is there any button in the app? (I have Inmotion V5F) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meserias Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 usually calibrate when after firmware update .... yesterday evening was 3-rd time on 18XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skecys Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 My 16X has a bad motherboard according to my dealer. Just thought I'd share that bit of info here as well. The amount I "had" to calibrate my wheel was unusual. I'm having it replaced soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasuvius Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 How do you know you need to re-calibrate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skecys Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 1 minute ago, vasuvius said: How do you know you need to re-calibrate ? Basically whenever you update something crucial, both hardware and software. After a firmware update or when swapping motherboard for example. Apart from that, whenever your wheel does strange things, like random dips or tiltbacks. I have learned from this thread and my V10 that you should not have to calibrate often under normal circumstances. It doesn't hurt doing it though, if you follow the instructions that is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daley1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ks 16s ,1500 ks-never upgraded the firmware-never needed calibration.It only rides funny if I put to much air in the tyre!My bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzer Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Not very often. I'm still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biped Phil Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 "Solowheel Glide 3" footplates dipped during turns and I thought it was excessive. I calibrated it once, to good effect. Calibration was not difficult, but it reported failure when I followed the manual. Then I found a youtube that showed the proper technique.

Rywokast Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 once, when i take it out of the box.. then never again lol, unless there is a bug in the firmware or something wrong with the wheel (ninebot z10) you shouldnt need to perform another calibration except for some firmware updates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 V10F i calibrate often almost every ride(take 15 seconds). I am very sensitive to feel if calibration is not 100%. This is more feeled if you use "agresive pedal sensitivity" if you use soft pedal you not realize calibration is not 100% ) Best test is slalom. We have concrete cones here and I can immediately see if everything is ok. With good calibration, the pedals hold the absolute plane when the calibration is thrown, they tilt and the turn is not so smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blicky Te⚡️la Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 DO YOU EVEN CALIBRATE BRO?!?! (so sorry, I actually came here just to say that...carry on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjPanJan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I suspect it Tire slime since then it's happening. To understand my calibration, it will not be lost or defective in any way, no risk or threatening. It's just not ideal. Every time I do a calibration it's significantly better and the pedal level is like a rock (I use 100/100 sensitivity). "Throwing" happens after charging and maybe it has the effect of using a guitar stand and the wheel is skewed.

Supafast Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I calibrate before riding. i think it helps, and is probably good for the wheel and inner components. Just like a car's bad wheel alignment can screw up the whole suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
