I'm guessing you took @Funky's advice.... I guess if you have turned a lot of bolts you could get close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Yeah you got me. I used a leverage bar and the Allen key. edit: got the wrench for the next time I have a wheel that needs new motor bolts.

Josiah Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Left pack off now. InMotion sent me pack number 1 but don’t know if that is the right or left pack. Edited March 12, 2023 by Josiah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though ,good job. You got it done and in pretty decent time also. is the left side the bad side i take it? Pretty sure inmotion knows which side, they can connect every time you connect to it. Also good job on the speed of getting parts, i'm on week 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Josiah Posted March 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2023 Both packs removed now. I’ll keep the wheel torn down for the night and wait for parts to arrive tomorrow. Just hope that I don’t forget how to put it back together. I’ve got photos, the videos from in motion, and all the screws in bags with notes. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparable to like how a set of power pads wont change the performance of the wheel, but rather let you tap into it, which stress the wheel more. 7 hours ago, mrelwood said: Situations like sudden bumps at steady speed end up with a steeper forward lean with softer modes, since the wheel doesn’t react instantly to the forward lean. And since softer modes do some of the acceleration effort on the riders behalf, it’s easier to get into an overly strong lean. Okay so why doesn't InMotion limit top speed when you set the pedal angle forward? Regardless, that's a stupid reason to limit top speed. Using good pads, forward foot placement, good lean technique, and being heavy also allows you to overpower the wheel. They have tilt-back and alarms to warn you.

I guess I wasn’t able to put it into words very well. The angle is not the issue. The movement is. Hard mode and forwards angle will be at the same angle all the time (until overpowered). It would feel goofy, but if you hit a bump, the wheel would still react instantly. A softer mode takes time as it lets the wheel tilt forward in the same situation. During that time the rider doesn’t have a stable platform to stand on, them is practically falling forward. To stop the forward fall you need to accelerate harder than just to climb up a bump. And at high speeds a lot can happen in a very short time. 11 hours ago, InfiniteWheelie said: Regardless, that's a stupid reason to limit top speed. Yet, that’s what Inmotion have decided to be the best approach. Why is it such a problem to you? Trung said that it only slows down the max speed if the pedal sensitivity is below 50%. 50% should be soft enough for most speedsters. 11 hours ago, InfiniteWheelie said: Using good pads, forward foot placement, good lean technique, and being heavy also allows you to overpower the wheel.

To stop the forward fall you need to accelerate harder than just to climb up a bump. And at high speeds a lot can happen in a very short time. The problem is nobody has really been able to describe how soft mode actually works. Earlier I described a soft mode with hard stops on either end, and you said “I think that’s how softer modes do work, as a general framework”. Now you’re saying that no matter how tilted the wheel already is, it’ll continue tilting even further if you apply enough torque (hit a bump, lean harder etc). I agree, that does sound like a dangerous mode that you may want to limit top speed on. Why on Earth would they not set a limit to the wheel’s tilt angle (where you reach hard mode)? The rider could set their preferred angle hard mode kicks in, as well as the force needed to reach it. No artificial speed limiting required.

I wonder what the Physics (Ergonomics?) reasons are that Soft mode is so much more enjoyable on a tiny wheel like the Mten4, but not on larger wheels? Is it that the tinies are already skittish enough and need to have their reactivity "toned down"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety is never a stupid reason to limit the speed and yes, its probably gonna be possible to overpower any wheel for a while - it just shouldn´t be easy or surprising.

Popular Post Josiah Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 Looks like I’m back in business with this wheel! had the same problem as @HighRoller with the top cover not resting perfectly snug and stripped out wood screw. After 30 minutes double checking and adjusting wire layout I got it as close as I could which was within -2mm and added some hot glue to the wood screw hole. I realized right after that at the trolley handle bolts, really hood down on the top of the case so those wood screws aren’t taking any of the load. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
