3putthater Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I know you get tiltback at your preset max speed. I believe also tiltback on overheat. What about overpower? I had a few times looking back that I hit 2600 watts..... my max speed is set at 25mph but hilly area and accelerating. I weigh about 205 geared up. Will it tilt back before face plant? (I’ve never seen temperature at all hot-but I haven’t ridden in summer heat yet) Edited March 15, 2021 by 3putthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ádám Szitás Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 2600 is pretty far, I've hit more than 4300 a number of times already without any problem. Yes it can tilt back before the set speed, if you are trying to overpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as I understand it riding being heavier and hard up a hill can cause and overpower, just like using power pads and leaning into them extremely hard right? Just to confirm, you’re saying that in both of these scenarios there’s a tilt back AND an overpower alarm? id be a lot more inclined to really wrench on the wheel if so!

t0me Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Don't suppose anyone's heard of a wheel tilting a rider off and then taking off on its own at max speed till it overpowers and cuts off... My V11 hasn't been ridden for a few months, loaned it to a mate, he connected to it with EUC World for the ride. He had a couple of small falls - getting used to a new wheel and the suspension was way to hard for someone his weight, but yeah, 45mins or more into the ride, it tilted back till he fell off the back and it took off through the bush till it overpowered and cut-off. I'd have thought it a tall tale, and maybe he overpowered it by his actions... but when I turned it back on, it tilted back hard and then sped up till it cut out. That time I had my hands on it so I just picked it up. I noticed the bluetooth light on even after it had cut off, so I got him to disconnect and turn off his BT. I connected to it with my phone, went into the app, did a motor calibration (cos, why not, and to establish expected control) and it did that fine, so I rode it, and it rode fine. He rode it a couple of km's till we could get somewhere to put him and the wheel in an Uber, cos, he broke his wrist in the fall. Not good. Not sure what I can do to test other than just gear up and ride, but its not getting ridden a lot because, well I've got a Lynx now. I just want to be confident if I lend the V11 to anyone else it'll not try and kill them too... Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frolic0415 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 @t0me I haven't heard of a V11 doing that before, but it's a common issue with V12 HTs: https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/30388-v12-ht-issue-sudden-tilt-back-and-acceleration/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can rule out that happening again, alas. It has already proved itself not to be a one-off, and that's a particularly horrible error for a wheel to have, especially one ridden in an urban / public setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
