IPS Zero - partial reset after emergency break

I want to inform you of the following incident I had with my Zero yesterday:

EUC: IPS Zero (240 Wh)

Total mileage about 160 Km.

 

I was driving on the pavement of a street  when at the (remote) next corner a pedestrian came into sight. My estimated speed was around 10 Km/h. There was enough distance to brake. But as I was a bit surprised by the sudden appearance of the person I initiated an emergency break too hard - The Zero broke very hard, made hard noises and got slower fast but as I overleaned backwards I had to step down from the wheel.

The Zero shot out under me to roll on forward alone! (I drive always with the strap to secure the wheel but I had let loose the belt :(  )

I had to run instantly after the wheel to catch it. (must have looked crazy ... B))

I caught the wheel and nobody/nothing was hurt/damaged.

 

After turning 'off' and 'on' the wheel it worked again and I continued my ride.

BUT:

I thought, something must have changed, as the light-mode of the wheel had changed to its initial 'brake-lights only' mode.

 

After inspecting further (with the App) I found out:

The Zero has been partially reset to factory mode:

- Total millage (about 160 Km now) was reset to Zero.

- Speed limit was active again (20 Km/h)

- Light mode was set to factory mode

- Bluetooth name was NOT reset to factory 'name'

 

Did another 6 Km with the wheel ... everything worked fine.

My Lhotz did almost the, except it didn't try to run a way from me. After Your post I started to think again - I made several sudden forward-reverse moves just before, perhaps I just didn't notice my overleaning, thought the tire slipped on ice every time. But on the next day, while commuting, I noticed it was in its initial state.
If that is all what happens under overloading, I'm quite happy! Just don't wish to fry the board f.ex...
