Battery replacement

[Kristoffer Pehrson]

Hi!

 

Does anyone knows where I can find a replacement battery for my unicycle? I have had problems with my unicycle where it has just died during a ride leading to a crash

 

This has happened a couple of times especially when the weather is cold. Has anyone experienced this problem?

 

I believe that it could be the battery that is the problem and now I'm looking for a replacement.

very classicc problem due to the Battery Management System (BMS) cutting off the power.

Nearly all wheels (except the most recent ones) has this flaw.

Too bad you can't get a video of this die and crash, to see what exactly is happening, you sure you are not leaning too fast forward?

Thank's for pointing me in the right direction hobby16! Read the thread and It sounds just like the problem that I've been having.

 

Even if I should be sleeping right now I couldn't resist doing the mod right away and it took me 15min and the wheel is still running   Now I have to wait for some cold weather and hope that is works!

 

MetricUSA - the first time I crashed the battery was half empty and I was out riding in the cold and at top speed the gyro just died. First I thought that I was running too fast and after that experience I took it a bit easier. 

The second and third time the wheel died I had left the wheel in my car over night during the winter and then I drove it in the morning I got 1 meter the first time and a couple of meters the second time. One time I hurt my hand quite a bit. After that I always ride with a fully charged battery but just the other day when it was rather bad weather with cold winds and rain it happened again! I have been thinking of buying a Ninebot one but I have felt that I can't sell my wheel as long as I have this problem. I really hope this will fix the problem, maybe I can keep it and wait for the Ninebot one price to drop some more.
