At least I can't find another explanation: I was travelling on level paved road, no bumps, holes or other obstacles on it, going 43km/h (while slowly decelerating from ~50), and without any warning I was thrown off. Wheel is newest batch (delivered end of July 2022), with the updated driver board already. (166km total, 60% battery at crash, fancy+offroad mode, it still works fine, but in the crash the rim was damaged pretty hard). I had wheellog logging the trip, and at the time of the crash, the sensor data says that I was suddenly leaning forward 10 degress as was going 90km/h (from 43 to 90 in 0.4seconds!) of course it then decided it cannot keep this state up and shut down power to motor. It's a bit like the crashes that the youtube channel "WrongWay" experienced, but I landed on my face instead. Safe trips, mlau Could it be that what we witness here is a chip (computational) error?

Silverfish Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 My board was replaced in the spring, and my wheel just bricked on me today. I was riding a moderate incline on a gravel trail. I had been riding some steeper than usual paths 10-20 minutes prior. Won't turn on, lots of resistance in the wheel. I was going 15-20 kph most likely at the time. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have bought it from EEVEES, what did they say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

versus Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Amazingly in-depth look into V12 HT. Looks like a very refined product. Turn on subtitles and select auto translate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txwheel Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Hoping some of you can help me out. If you have a v12 HS with a confirmed "upgraded" driver board with the stronger mosfets, could you let me know your driver board's version number? You can find it on the "About Vehicle" screen. I'm curious if the driver board in my v12 (shown below) is the updated version - all I know (based on the QC stamp in the instruction booklet) is that my unit was manufactured on April 11th, 2022, but I'm not sure if Inmotion had started to build "fixed" units quite yet. From my research on this forum, it seems that the April 11th manufacturing date is cutting it close. Given the risk and time involved in opening up my unit just to visually check the board, I'm hoping the version number alone can help me get to the bottom of this.

My V12 driver board is the same version as yours. I installed it a few months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this may just be the version of the firmware on the driver board. I could be wrong, but this number may change and/or be the same as the one on the old board. All of this being said, i believe inmotion stopped shipping with the older boards, so you should be good. I think the only way you may be able to check that you have the new board is by physical inspection. If you are concerned you can probably contact inmotion support to confirm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you weren't injured! I certainly believe that either the gyrosensor sometimes gives bad readings, or the firmware does no quick plausibility check of the data received (from the sensor or the STM32-clones' i2c/spi interfaces the sensor is attached to...) If I'd design such a vehicle, I'd put at least 3 gyro sensors in, attached to different serial interfaces just to be rule out a bad one early, the sensors aren't that expensive (low 2 digits $). It's also curious that it happened around 60% battery charge (me, you, wrongway). Edited November 18, 2022 by mlau 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vBlitz Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) My first cutout was also at 59% battery. No bips, no alarm, still functional afterward. PS: After 4 months, I still don't know the cause of the fried board, it's lawyer & insurance battle for now Edited November 19, 2022 by vBlitz ps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought a brand new V12 from a reputable dealer, highly unlikely. It has been quite a few months since production has switched over to the new driver board. Plus replacement driver boards were free from Inmotion. Even really old stock shouldn't have cutout problems.

I was thrown forward; all I remember is that the wheel just stopped powering the motor, no sudden acceleration. The driver board still works, I've repaired and ridden the wheel another 60km since the crash. That's why I'm inclined to think there's still an unresolved firmware or sensor issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the chance, it would be pretty useful to zoom into the time span between 20:24:22 and 20:24:24 to maybe get a much better idea of cause and effect.

Grab an edited version of the wheellog csv below; the interesting parts start at line 593 Edit: at that time, I had set the pedal tilt (don't know the exact name of this setting) to +1 degree forward. otherwise I always felt like I'm falling backwards... 2022_08_21_20_14_42.csv Edited December 4, 2022 by mlau attached file 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
