agronick Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I just preordered a MSP from Ewheels. Should I be worried? This is now posted on the EUCO order page for MSP and it wasn't there a day or two ago: Due to recent quality issues, we are pausing on taking pre-orders until further notice. Must be pretty bad for a reseller to turn down preorders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also confirms there are QC issues with Gotway right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly agree it can't be great, but without specifics, how is the customer supposed to interpret this information?

agronick Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Ive heard of failing circut boards. I've seen that you pretty much need to hit the pedals as hard as you can to make them go back up. (I think the EWheels model has that solved) You spend 2 grand on something you expect it to work. I'm not going to cancel my order but I hope I don't regret it. I sold a 2004 Cadillac for 3 grand 4 years ago. 2 grand is a lot to pay for something made out of plastic especially if it falls apart. I downloaded the app just to see what its like and its half in Chinese and half English with a bad translation - doesn't inspire confidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they do or dont comb thru every wheel, but they are aware of the risks they take when selling you a wheel. Part of the service of buying from ANY authorized retailer, is that youll be taken care of. I'm not saying you shouldnt worry at all, but at one point you MAY have to assume faith in your seller. You can always ask sellers directly, but be prepared to wait a bit as theres a TON of action right now. You also have to be aware that the sellers are not magicians with crystal balls. In the end its up to you. Edited June 29, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be pretty bad for a reseller to turn down preorders. EUCO is a small operation relative to EWheels. I imagine they aren't willing to take the risk of dealing with after sales support like EWheels can. What I just said is conjecture on my part; I have no inside knowledge. A lot of MSP's have been sold. I've only heard of a few problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilvodka Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Any update on this? I really want to buy a c30 ms pro but weary because of these failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookz Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Is there a recommended procedure to go through when you get your wheel? I ordered a MSP via ewheels and I didn't know if theres some checklist of things to do when i get it to check for these sort of issues?

Ewheels say if you pass the 20 mile mark with no issues then you probably be OK. Some have canceled their preorders after ewheels sent this to customers. Its only been a handful of failures though but you always have that doubt in your mind. If it fails from what I've read ewheels will not take the wheel back but send you a new controller or what ever part fails.

Slap on some power pads, go find the steepest hill you can climb, and run laps until the wheel reports 140°F. If you can't get the wheel to 140°F, learn to ride a steeper hill. If you make it to 140°F, your wheel is trustworthy. If smoke comes out, put the wheel right-foot-side-up, with the left pedal extended, so that the bottom right corner of the wheel is the highest point. (This reduces the likelihood of board flames heating the pack.) .02 Edited July 20, 2020 by RagingGrandpa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
