victor123 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I got my v12 two days ago and was super happy with it, however all of a sudden the screen stopped working, and eventually it stopped turning on altogether, ive barely used it, is anyone else having this problem? It happened when i was charging it at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziiten Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I haven't read thru this thread entirely, but are any of you V12 owners experiencing issues with water condensating inside the display. My V12's display is always fogged, although I do keep it "outdoors" but in a glazed balcony and the air is pretty humid this time of the year. Yesterday, I was riding in pouring rain and the display stopped working altogether. Now I took the wheel inside hoping it will recover. Some of you might think, why store it "outdoors" at all. I am a bit hesitant keeping, let alone charging, such a massive lithium battery indoors because of the fire hazard. Also, the wheel display should be designed so that rain doesn't damage it Edited October 22, 2021 by Ziiten 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Afeez from erides had water in his display too after riding in rain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Oh wow, not a good sign, so either hope for a fix from Inmotion or come up with DIY fix, I'm glad my gf's order that was supposed to be batch1 that got delayed now seems to be ending up as a a batch3 instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiWestSider Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just read an article that said "On Tuesday more than 100 ships were waiting to unload thousands of containers outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach." Those V12's won't be shipping any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water could be why my display and BT died, I managed to ride few times on heavy rain. Maybe I'll continue using rain cover on top, if the wheel ever come's back.

Looks like some changes are being made to open the bottleneck a bit, hope that helps the V12 container (and many others). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoFlip Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Does anyone know of any pattern sheets or 3D CAD files of the V12? Once my V12 arrives I plan to make a pattern sheet for it, if one doesn't already exist, so that I can create a neoprene protective cover. I haven't seen a lot of people asking for this kind of thing, but curious if anyone is interested in protective covers for their V12.

Popular Post Richardo Posted October 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2021 Adam Wrong Way just dropped a very positive impression video of the wheel, a huge departure from his earlier takes on the pre-release model. I didn't catch whether this is a sponsored testing wheel, a sponsor gift wheel, or one he paid for himself, so I'm suspicious of "the gratitude effect" - but in any case it's nice to see him some positive v12 riding. I'm really curious where this wheel fits into the EUC universe over the next few years. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I may have found a morsel of new information about the ewheels shipment. You can search CMA CGM LYRA on https://www.cma-cgm.com/ebusiness/schedules/port/detail?POLDescription=LOS ANGELES%2C CA %3B US %3B USLAX&ActualPOLDescription=LOS ANGELES%2C CA %3B US %3B USLAX and find a "port cut-off date" (10/29/2021 4:00 PM) and a "dock cut-off date" (10/27/2021 5:00 PM) The Port Cut-Off Date is Quote The cut-off date is the last date that the container can be returned to the port terminal in order to make the schedule that you requested. It's usually two days before the expected departure date, but will vary based on the carrier and the port. So it seems like the unloading must be happening pretty soon, considering new containers for LYRA's next voyage have to be dropped off by Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Evans Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 there have been issues with water getting into the bearings so they need to be replaced. kill switch not working (they forgot to plug it in) there are sundry other issues too most of the issues i have heard about seem to be related to water penetration - the v12 is perhaps not as water resistant as we thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important thing is keeping the wheel upright for at least an hour to allow water to drip downwards, rather than using the kickstand. Otherwise he said he's had zero issues in the rain and water. Also, it looks like Eevee's in Vancouver received their V12s! They're now showing as "In Stock" on the page. I had pre-ordered a half-payment in early October and this morning I got an email about paying the second half now.

It's probably, in my own opinion, the best wheel in terms of performance for value. Such a great price for speed, torque, range and features like USB ports, kickstand and speakers. However I'm surprised that the wheel launched without any confirmation of future accessories, such as an official Inmotion seat (like on the V11) or power pads. The V12 has an interesting "snap on" power pad feature I hear little talk about, but would make for great 3rd party power pads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
