Chiiter Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hey Community! My Gotway MCM4 HS 340wh arrived at friday and since then I´ve driven about 40km. But everyday when I return home I notice that terrible smell that is probably comming from the wheel or the motor or something like that. Did anyone else have the problem, too and if yes, how did you fix it or did the problem solve itself after some time? Thanks for all replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 What does it smell like? Burning plastic? Burning rubber? If you rotate the tire with the power off, does it move smoothly without rubbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I try to rotate the wheel when its off, it does run smoothly, but not for very long- just like it was with the old dynams from the old bicycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just mean that it smells bad, be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought the smell is coming from the motor but now that I just received a new motor with tire from Ninebot that smells like burning tire even though the motor hasn't been fitted yet, then I am sure the smell is coming from the brand new tire.

Vanquiz Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 One thing that you might want to try if it bothers you that much, like any other plastics, rubbers, leathers that has their own distinctive smells, you can try wiping it with white vinegar every couple days to make it less severe.

You mean that it will stay like that? But good idea thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanquiz Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 No, I mean it will go eventually, but might take weeks or months, at least that's what happens with my fake leather steering wheel cover, it's just I've found wiping with the vinegar helps speed up the process. @Chiiter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverH Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If there something smell than there's friction or a low pressure tire will be damaged. This need to be sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasi Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I got mine in 16th January and it was 2 first nights beside my bed ? and I did not notice any smell. But the gap between tire and the shell is very small, hope tire not touch the shell when ride. My wife does not let me take it in anymore ?

Elah Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 If Chiiters is HS then it will have much bigger gap, the gab between shell and tire is finger width on my HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 i just got my mcm4hs delivered and i can confirm that it also has a similarly tight gap between the tire and case. my theory is that they may have orignally designed it for a smaller tire. about the smell, i noticed a slight one too, and the insides of padding cushions were the source in my case.

EnPagés Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have a MCM4 (not HS) and the space it's the same, check the tire pressure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have the HS version, the gap looks exactly the same as in the picture. Actually it should measure around 3-4 mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insides of the padding burning? He said it was burning rubber smell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
