melheor Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Exciting wheel, but the teardown video that was posted a couple pages ago has me concerned about quality. Especially the part at 4:10 about bolts eating into the suspension piston, cutting groves: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is healthy self-preservation to be concerned about Begode's quality. Fix the dropped bearing with tape or glue (Loctite), and the piston won't get scratched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post some photos of the wheel well, especially from the front, please? I'm interested how protected the top part is from water and dirt from the tire, and how much danger exists of the exposed motor power cable getting damaged/snagged/dirty/wet. Basically, what is between the tire and the rest of the wheel? I know there's a small plastic mudguard and a metal sheet mudguard somewhere, but how big are they? Do they protect everything?

Popular Post supercurio Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 Sadly, I can confirm that the T4 is affected by the exact same stator slippage issue as the S22, as described in this post: As you can see in this photo posted by Chance Hintz, the stator is loose, rotates, pulling on the phase wires at the same time which exposes them and leads to a short. This results in an instantaneous cut-out and burns the mainboard. Alternatively, the hall sensor can be pulled off which on a Begode wheel (without sensorless motor control backup like the S22) can result in a cutout at any speed. I hope that there will be official testing instructions published soon by King Song. In the meantime, I highly recommend you to validate your T4 motor with the test described as "landing test" in my post on the S22. Spin tests are not reliable to identify all bad motors, but you can at least start there before riding. A riding buddy crashed and broke a finger within 700m of his first T4 ride this week due to this. So, better test before riding. 3 1 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggane Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) I just received mine and it seems to have this issue.

The metal sheet mudguard seems efficient, I'll see after some kilometers.. The plastic one we will see, it will just protect rider's back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a noise coming from the motor that sounds like metal rubbing on metal: https://imgur.com/a/cOqNRA7 Thanks for posting, that's the sound to look for on the T4. The scraping sound is different than on the S22 and present itself as clicks, I guess against some pattern, but if you ride this your wheel will cutout quickly after, burn its board and send you to the ground. It's absurd that wheels are shipped in this very obviously defective state. I don't understand how it would pass any form of QA. 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably stress test if I heard some noises I would recommend to stress test first, and stop riding immediately if you hear odd noises coming from the motor (cutout in 3..2..1...) Some of the failures occurred right out of the box since obviously bad motors were shipped as-is (not the case with the S22), but it's too early to tell how often how issues will develop over time and distance ridden with the T4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch and bad news, meaning that ZX fixed it on the S22 motor in July but not on the T4. I asked my friend and will report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
