Joce Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hi, This is a solved case, I just want to share my experience... I bought a V8F on aliexpress 3 months ago (from an EU reseller, it was really cheaper than in France, 880€ instead of 1150€). Made 450km with it without issues, no crashes etc. After a full charge from 20% to 100% I faced an overload issue (on power on, the wheel is saying "overload, please get off" and tilt back until you stop). I stopped the wheel restarted it several times during 3 days, on the App the tension was shown 89V / 90V, saying the consumption was -1000W (like on a huge downhill), not normal ! I opened the wheel and checked the tension on the battery, 83V so normal. I unplugged it and replugged after a minute to really restart the wheel, still same issue. I unplugged the motor and started the wheel, all the side led where red, but the tension in the app became normal (82.6V), sounds like there is an issue with the motor then... Replugged everything and miracle everything is now back to normal ! I've contacted the reseller on aliexpress but still don't have any answer so... take care with aliexpress wheel. Additional info : I saw that the battery is only 480W instead of 518W on the official specs... looks like a v8f with a v8 battery maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Bonjour, vous avez peut-être là une V8 et non une V8F. Hi, i think you have a V8, no V8F. Edited July 7, 2022 by varamontelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Did you recently do a calibration or firmware update? If not then it sounds like the control board could need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 You can get spare control boards online. Sure it's risky that something else is wrong but try to study the problem and use the forum here to make a good decision. Then it doesn't really matter that it's aliexpress or that your warranty is up, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joce Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 And finally, Just had an answer from thé seller. He is organising a meeting with an inmotion engineer to make a battery calibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
