sbouju Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Just downgraded my S18 firmware from the 2.06 to the 2.05 version with EUC World, which do that faster than the official KS version, it seems to me What means the mention "reduced shaking" in the little list of the advantages of this downgrading ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephch Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I think that was the improvements that come with the 2.06 but your losing with the downgrade?? After i downgraded, when i check the upgrade on the euc world, only the carry mode was left as upgrade left.🤔🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason at eWheels told me they installed it on my S18 for me; but I don't know anything about it yet. We're having the S18 shipped back out to you, again: - New suspension arms installed - Latest generation (just received) battery bases used - Pedal mount set replaced - New style fender installed After stating they are shipping it back to me they are actually still doing some things to my S18 and haven't shipped it back yet. I asked them about the fender in email, but they get a lot of emails, and haven't replied back yet. Also, here's a little gem Jason told me as well: On the EX front: Gotway has informed that they're coming out with a suspensionless high-speed version of the EX, capable of around 100kph under no load. The price is going to be in the same league as the Veteran @ $2,850. Edited November 15, 2020 by Bridgeboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to refresh my memory regarding your situation. Did you receive your S18, then sent it back to eWheels due to suspension problems? I'm really curious to see what they did to your S18.

My S18 went back to eWheels the first time and got the wheel/tire/fender realigned so the tire would stop rubbing the fender. Nobody understood the problems with the suspension at that time. After receiving it back the problems with the suspension came to light. It was sent back this second time to fix the suspension, the other "upgrades" are just eWheels updating me with all the latest stuff Kingsong has issued since release.

Strange, I took a few mile ride yesterday after not riding for a week (only ridden twice then). I noticed I was shaking a ton and couldn’t figure out why, just figure it’s my stance and inexperience. I don’t understand how any software could help with the shaking issue. I’m assuming shaking and speed wobble is the same thing? Essentially just uncontrolled oscillation?

Michał Kowalski Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hello, I have a s18 from the first batch bought from myewheel. I modernized the suspension myself to make it work properly and smoothly. But I have a question for you, should I get the improved parts, e.g. battery base v4, from kingsong under the warranty? (My battery base is ok after breaking the wedge) Please write if you got any revised KS parts. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexIsTheBest Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 So I think I figured out my wobble problem. There is definitely a bulge somewhere in my tire. I don’t think it’s the wheel because I don’t see any movement when the motor is spinning. However, the tire very obviously pulses. I think this happened when I deflated and put slime in. Any suggestions? I suppose on my mountain bike I would just lay it on its side, deflate, squeeze around the circumference, checking for inconsistencies, and then re-inflate. Is this a common issue?

Being a stickler for a smooth ride, I was immediately alarmed. Luckily, it wound up being a very common and easy thing to rectify. This happens a lot, especially with newer tires. Once you get a tire properly seated and ride for a a while, it is unlikely to present itself again. I noticed that someone had tried to balance the wheel before I got it, with wheel weights. I'd imagine they were attempting to fix this problem, but incorrectly. Hard to balance a rim that is mostly motor. Anyhow, heres a short video of my recognizing the problem, turning the tire to face the right direction, and verifying the bead is properly seated. The proof is in the pudding and it was a drastic improvement once completed. Short test ride at the end, 25psi 135lb rider.

Any suggestions? I suppose on my mountain bike I would just lay it on its side, deflate, squeeze around the circumference, checking for inconsistencies, and then re-inflate. Is this a common issue? Found my solution thanks to @ShanesPlanet! Welp, I did my best to center my tire but for the life of me I could not get the wobble out. The rim seems to be straight. The wobble seems to be mostly around the valve stem. I tried moving it around, holding it in place, partially filling, over filling, using soap to lubricate. Just couldn't get the wobble out. So I think I should buy a new tire! EDIT: I rescind my assessment that only the tire is wobbling. It seems there IS some wobbling in the wheel. Not sure what my next step should be. Basically, if I hold the tip of a screw driver very close to the rim, the screw driver will rub on the rim in one spot as the wheel goes around. Could it be because my axle is off center? I had to shim it a bit to get the sliders to move smoothly but I don't think that could really affect the wheel angle much. Actually, nevermind, off center axle wouldn’t cause this.
