Firmware 1.2.0 (now 1.2.1) for V11 is available

[mrelwood]

After updating to the latest 7.7.4 on Android, the Inmotion app offers new firmware 1.2.0 for the V11. Not available for iOS just yet.

TLDR: A must update!

 The new firmware has a much much slower low battery tilt-back, and also lets you ride slightly further. The tilt-back kicks in at 68V / 8% battery, and turning on the Go Home Mode the percentage jumps to 29%.

Go Home Mode starts with generous limits of 2000W and 41km/h, but they both drop fast! After just 5km, the voltage was down to 63.0V, and the speed limit at around 18km/h. That’s when the wheel kicks you off with the final low battery tilt-back. You can still ride downhill though, since the tilt-back does recover with the voltage.

 If you are as desperate/crazy as I am, you can still get a km or a few riding on a heavily tilted back wheel. During this last stretch the voltage dipped as low as 61.0V, and settled at 62.2V after the 1.5km I needed to get home.

 So, slightly more range, but more importantly the initial low battery tilt-back is much much slower. It no longer forces you to jump off at speed.

_

 As I’ve said earlier, as long as the V11 suddenly forces me to an immediate stop mid ride just to play with my phone, I’ll keep repeating how stupid I think the behavior is. No vehicle should decide to force the rider/driver to a sudden stop, just to play with one’s phone in order to continue. The V11 is advertised as being “made for professional riders”. All the safety reminders of the Go Home Mode are delivered the first time the rider switches it on. There is absolutely no need having to do it every single time. Which for some of us is at every single ride.

 The V11 should have an automatic Go Home Mode that can be enabled just like the “Fancy” mode that allows the 55km/h top speed. Enabling the auto Go Home, the limits would start lowering when there’s only one bar of battery left, but they would do so automatically, so that the wheel wouldn’t take over the rider’s control. Forcing the rider to a sudden stop, no matter how slow the tilt-back is, can be very dangerous if it happens at the wrong time. That’s why no other vehicle of any type does that.

 The current behavior is in a strong contradiction to what the wheel is advertised as, and what all other design aspects do support: being an EUC for “professional riders”. They don’t need to be reminded that the battery is getting low. They have known that for years, and have long ago adjusted their daily riding style accordingly. The magnificent battery level meter of the V11 that is clearly visible during riding, already tells you that the battery is getting low.

Having to suddenly stop whenever the wheel so decides, does not deliver any safety. Quite the opposite, it can be very dangerous at the wrong time. Many of us are forced to ride along with cars. Accelerating at an intersection is when the voltage drop would most probably force the sudden forced stop. That is a dangerous situation no matter how slow the tilt-back is.

 Sorry for the ramble. The magnificent V11’s generous speed limits lets you ride very freely all the way down to 68V, which makes this one oversight stand out even more. I dearly hope that the feedback from the community will make Inmotion rethink the sudden forced stop.

Is that 30mph  down to 68v?

The firmware upgrade solved an important range problem on my  V11.  Now I can go more than 30 km, which is nice.  Upgrading app and firmware was a pain in the B... neck. Disconnect all BT while installing new firmware... also EUC world is now dead/disconnected

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INMOTION V11 USERS

Inmotion just published an update to its application, and with it came the V11 firmware update to version 1.2.0. Unfortunately, this update changes the way the Bluetooth module of this unicycle is recognized when trying to establish a connection. As a consequence, after the 1.2.0 firmware update EUC World stops recognizing V11, which makes it impossible to establish a connection.

Fortunately, I have already managed to solve this problem  However, it will take a day or two before the new EUC World update appears in the Google Play store. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to refrain from firmware update in your V11 before the new version of EUC World appears in Google Play.

for now:  18 October. 
Upgrade Inmotion app then upgrade firmware from app. (Android only) then erase Inmotion app. Install eralier version of Inmotion app . Else your  føcked.  This procedure will make EUC world  start and stop seconds later.  This bug is being fixed, now go and pay Seba for his work. 

 

When V11 died  for some hours I realised Im addicted to that wheel.  I will now find a girly name for her...

There is apparently a bug in the new firmware in that it doesn’t read the data correctly from one temperature sensor. That causes unnecessary “overpower” warnings, especially in colder climates. A fix should be available in a day or two. While I’ve been happily riding two chargefuls, it might be best not to upgrade just yet after all.

And now the fw 1.2.1 is already available (on Android only), which it’s to fix the forementioned “overload” issues.

Dead wheel after "upgrade" is hopefully fixed with new app. I'm sorry of addicted to the v11, I want a fix pls

[Finn Bjerke]

My "upgraded" wheel died yesterday I hope the new app will reincarnate my wonderfull V11 - I love it to bits. Thx Inmotion for doing something about it. Hoping for the best

Inmotion have proper funked this ,,I hope euc world will work otherwise I won't know when to come home ,,i won't have go home mode ,,,funking shit its well pissing me off,,, I can't connect to the inmotion  app since I updated the wheel😢Trust me I've done everything thing I can even wiped cache in phone ,I keep trying different versions  reset wheel it still won't find it

Inmotion already published 1.2.1 firmware that fixes this problem. Just start Inmotion app and let it upgrade your wheel to 1.2.1.

EUC World 2.2.0 update has been sent to Google Play. I hope that app review process will be done quickly.

Eucworld  and inmotion  app working good,, BTW I hate go home mode

Not a single parked car on that steep hill at the end curbed its wheels

I hope InMotion rethinks its Go-Home mode. I always ride below 40Km/h and never use my app. I only use the app to make the initial configurations such as max speed, riding mode, lights the i know my wheel and just pick it when needed without the app.

Now at some point the V11 refuses me to continue en turn on the spare fuel, the most annoying and even ridiculous feature a car, motorcycle and in our case  EUC can have. its like saying 'mommy says you have to go home or you have to walk'. I agree the indicators should be enough.
I want to be able to use the full range of my battery without having to stop and connect my mobile.

Actually this is the most logical statement ever, so logical that the fact you have to make it is absurd.

Since i upgraded to v1.2.1 the Go Home mode starts at 18% in stead of 14% which gives me a 34% battery unused unles i change to Go Home mode :-(

The math isn’t quite that simple, 34% in Go Home Mode is much less than 34% in normal mode.

 But at 18%?! I think I got down to 10% before Go Home Mode. Were you riding fast or with a lot of accelerations?

Mine started at 11% battery  then went up to 33% battery when entered go home mode and was at 69v

no i usually ride between 25-35, i ride very conservative say like an old man :-)
this time it stopped with 21% after a shut down it urged me to the go home mode @ 69.3V :-(

I'm still on version 1.1.64. It's always "Download Failed." I'm going to keep trying every few hours/days.
