I ride without pads and the battery box corner is constantly (and very annoyingly) touching my calves. I was wearing long pants. At one point I started to feel electric zaps from the battery box corners. Both sides but not at the same time. This occurred while under heavier acceleration or close to 40 kmh speed. I'm able to ride calmly without getting zapped. It's a fairly strong shock. I haven't examined the wheel yet but I'm not riding it anymore. The potential for getting worse is there and 126 volts is no joke. That's very unfortunate, must be a stripped cable somewhere, it would be easy to take it apart to check, it's very easy to disassemble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not feeling like opening it just to see. I don’t think I can fix this myself. The dealer is already involved (Myewheel). Sucks to be without the wheel for some time. At least now I have time to print all the parts for suspension and fix all the other issues of this wheel that KS didn’t know how to make properly. Amazingly poor quality after taking almost a year to mass produce. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tawpie Posted August 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Jeeze. It's a lot colder in Finland than I thought. It really is a shame that assembly quality isn't better on these things. It's not that difficult, time consuming or costly to set up an assembly line that consistently produces high quality product. But it does take commitment and effort. I'm very glad to hear your dealer is taking care of you, and equally sad you'll be without for a while. On the flip side, it gives you a chance to show some long needed love to that 16X! (it'll make you re-appreciate suspension, trust me) Edited August 22, 2022 by Tawpie 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myewheel is super helpful and responsive, they will help you out, that looks like the left pack, very easy to take out if they ask you to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniMe Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 the more wheels arrive, the more issues emerge.... electrocution... good lord, what next? KS should be facing class actions if this continues. So happy I didn't get sucked in to the hype. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NErider Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Ehhh, it's probably a chaffed wire. I'm not too worked up. This is a common theme with Chinese unicycle making. Slap it together and see how it shakes out. Improve it over time. I knew this going into it, and I accept the terms and risks as an early adopter. If we wanted super safe reliable UL listed wheels with verified QC inspections, We would need to be prepared to pay at least double. Sad but true.

It happens in a lot of motor sports. This just adds another dimension being straight from customs. I'd be more angry at the usual cluster of CA shipping. I'd venture to guess Jason and crew are grinding their teeth right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester Copperpot Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 eWheels is fantastic and I will stand by them. However, it’s very frustrating that they collected payment with a message saying that wheels will ship “within the week” and it’s now 15 days later and we still don’t know. I’m 100% confident that they are acting in good faith. I also think it would be great if they were sending out daily updates, even if there is nothing new to report.

nitecrawlr Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 eWheels Update: """ Good morning, This is an update regarding your King Song S22 order status. Here is the current situation: Customs required payment by check, which was sent 16 days ago & cashed last Friday, but as of this moment, they still have not released the containers. We've been doing everything possible to try to get this situation resolved, calling/emailing, it's expected release will happen over the next few days. Sorry about this hitch, the containers have been in the country for the past month, labels processed in preparation for shipping out on taking possession. The moment there's any change, will be sending out another update. Thank you for your patience & understanding, The eWheels Team """ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oolong Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The impression I got from a week or so ago was that eWheels already had the S22s in their possession and they were going to spend a week checking things over and making sure there are no major issues before shipping them out. This makes it sound like they are just going to ship them out as soon as they receive them. Based on the previous batch, it seems like 10% (my guess) of S22s are having some kind of issue. Some minor, other's major. It would be nice if they did some basic checks and updated the firmware before sending them out. I would actually pay extra for them to do that rather than dealing with potential early batch issues when it gets here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of the emails I received they had said this: Q: Has there been an independent QC inspection for these machines?A: Yes, we sent in an inspection team to validate the core functions, check that the battery packs were able to attain ~1V of the 126V max voltage spec, test the suspensions & oversee the in-house test/assembly processes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
