Scotty Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi folks, just thought I'd post this because it just started out-of-the-blue today. I've had my RS HT for 2 weeks and I've never heard it beep before until today. Yesterday I went on a 42 mi ride up to Mt. Baldy and didn't hear a single beep. This morning as soon as my speed touched 19 - 20 mph I began hearing beeps. My 1st class alarm is off. It seems like there are 3 beeps per interval which would indicate low voltage? My battery was nearly full when I started out and I began hearing the beeps right away. Here's a video where you can hear the beeps. Does anyone know if there is a problem? It seems strange that it just started today. my battery is at 80%/96V. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sounds like the second speed alarm. you said you had the first one off, but do you have the 35kph off too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 I just checked that the Gotway app shows "Second class alarm has been turn off". I took the wheel out for another spin and its still beeping reqeatedly (3 per interval), this time at 21 mph. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) That's the speed for the 2nd alarm and the Second alarm is 3 beeps. So the app must not be updating the wheel settings properly. Do you have the gotway app and another app like EUC world or Darkness bot? I've heard that having two apps at the same time can cause problems connecting to the wheel. If that isn't it, I would try turning the 2nd alarm on and seeing if the wheel makes a beep to confirm the change and then turning it back off.

meepmeepmayer Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 That's just the 2nd speed alarm (should be at 35kph). An app can NOT read any settings from a Gotway wheel, it's strictly one-way (unless they lately changed it, never heard of that) So it doesn't know which alarm is off or on. Just send the command to disable the 2nd alarm. You can do a lift test (lift wheel and watch speed in app) to see what beeps are on and appear at what speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 That was it. I turned on and turned off the 2nd alarm a couple items and the alarms are off now - thank you. Some mix up between Darknessbot and Gotway apps, maybe... I thought the 2nd speed alarm was at 45 kpm (according to begode's website). Anyways, it's quite now so that's a releaf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniMe Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Helpful, I've had a similar beep at around the same speed. At first I thought the wheel might be limited for the first few kms like my KS XL is. Eventually I tried turning off the speed alarm entirely (using EUC World) and that solved the problem, except that I'd prefer to have a speed alarm. Question: is the 'second' alarm a preset by Gotway? I have some alarm slide options in EUC World but making changes to them didn't change or turn off this alarm.

Maybe Darknessbot remembers the settings you set. Of course it wouldn't know if another app had changed something in the mean time, because apps can't read settings from Gotway wheels. So it would display something wrong. 3 hours ago, UniMe said: Question: is the 'second' alarm a preset by Gotway? Yes. You can't change at what speed it appears. Only switch it on or off. 3 hours ago, UniMe said: I have some alarm slide options in EUC World but making changes to them didn't change or turn off this alarm. That's only internal to the app (it can make your phone beep). Apps can't make wheel beep unless the wheel already supports that particular beep in some way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply_Striking Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 The second alarms is not accurate, I get it around 22mph as well. I wish there was a way to shift them, and have them time out after x amount of beeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillClimber Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I'm new to the EUC world and loving it so far. I've gone a 100km on my Begode RS but the first alarm still goes off at 30km/hr. I don't mind it beeping so long as it stops and I can keep going faster. Is that the case? And is that the same for the secondary 45km/hr alarm, too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? first alarm is 30kmh 2nd alarm is 45kmh, this is what you are hearing . remember that to be able to change setting in app you should stop the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed alarms will keep beeping at their fixed speeds. Just switch them off. (They may appear off in an app but still be on, just repeat until it works.)

The ride is so smooth and stable cruising between 30 and 45km/hr. I'm commuting to work every day and running simple errands on it now, too. So much better than driving my truck around (gas money and environment-wise) and it's so much more fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
