Student4Life Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Just had my first V8F cutout and the behavior was wild so I wanted to understand if my machine is acting normally or not. The wheel "shuddered," snap-oscillating between level and tilt-back about 4 Hertz for about four seconds before powering off the motor. That was a wild ride! But I was able to slow down and definitely anticipated the fall. The trigger for this behavior was me riding it off of a curb at maybe 10mph (more aggressive speed than normal), and maybe I was dragging the brake a little when I landed. Battery was about 65%. I had ridden about 8 miles after reassembly for changing the inner tube, hence second-guessing my workmanship. Afterward it powered on and I rode it home, only more gently, but I did hop off some curbs at low speed and no problem. I'll probably try to recreate the scenario but wearing more armor. Machine has ~1400 miles on the odometer, and the rider has ~2500 miles. Is this the normal InMotion cutout, or should I trust my device? Edited August 8, 2022 by Student4Life add battery level, add tube change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamonatheCat Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I am no expert but that does not sound like normal euc behavior to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostris Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I have 1500 kms on mine, over 18 months. Mine has been golden so far…no problems at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dycus Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Check the motherboard screws, it could be that you knocked it off-level a bit on the drop, then as it snapped forward and back it kept shifting the motherboard around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student4Life Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 I've put over 100 more miles on the V8F, and I've jumped up and down a few more curbs although with more care about speed and "sticking the landing." So I'm concluding the machine is OK and this is a generic behavior it could manifest under the right conditions. I'm thinking what happened is a braking cut-out-- the machine cut out because I overpowered the limit of its regenerative braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
