who_the Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Been riding now for four months in San Francisco. LOVE IT! Totally have the EUC bug. My X3 clone (Fotowelt X30, LOL) is awesome. But I've noticed something and am wondering if anybody has 1) experienced the same thing or 2) discovered a workaround. For the first five minutes or so of my ride, my wheel angles the pedals toward the rear, so the tips of my toes stick into the air, and my heels are closer to the ground. After a few minutes, my wheel seems to level out and I can ride without such an extreme tilt. What I've tried to do is stop and start multiple times, or slow down from full speed repeatedly to level things out. Though things eventually level out, I can't say I've discovered a repeatable solution, or even the problem. Can anybody suggest what is happening or if it's even a problem?

Chriull Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The tiltback is normaly a warning, that the euc is about to reach its limit. so i have two wild guesses, hope they can help somehow: -Could it be that you start with cold batteries? That you store your euc in the garage and start riding with battery temperatures around 10 degrees celcius or below? Then the batteries would be quite limited regarding available power, but after warming up by usage the could get in a normal stage? - if the wheel in normal operation has no tiltback warning, you could try to calibrate it.

Keith Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 +1 with the advice that @Chriull has given. One other thought I had, are you turning the wheel on with it on the level? If it is tilted back on power up it may well see tilted back as level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who_the Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks for the responses, great suggestions. Our air temperature never really drops below 50º F/10º C, though the angle seems to level out after the batteries "warm up" for a few minutes, and a few stop/starts. I do try to start the wheel in level position but will take steps to make sure of that. I do experience beeping and an active tilt back at maximum speed, but this is more of a titled-back pedal position at low speeds, where I can feel my Achilles heel and calf muscles stretching because the back of my heel is lower than the front.

who_the Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 And by the way, I've gotten much more stable in the month or so since this picture was taken, and no longer ride with my arms and hands in the "falling guy" position shown here. 15 hours ago, who_the said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
