Board very felt strong, unlike the weaknesses described in earlier reviews. My questions to anyone with a dead board: was it a v2.1 revision? My S22 had a v2.3 mainboard, which failed in July. So I don't think we can trust that version either. It took more than 2 months to get a replacement board, and the replacement is also v2.3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eucian51 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 My wheel left me stranded 7 miles into a trail while going up this hill today https://photos.app.goo.gl/vXJ25aiRuVd5mXP36 I just started reading up on all the issues being reported and will attempt a warranty claim with Rev Rides. I was 2 miles from the closest road and ended up having to leave the S22 then coming back with a V12HT to carry it to my car. After using straps and carabiners to help support the weight I managed to ride the 2 miles back 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetricUSA Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Quite frankly I just wish kingsong just get over it and recall all s22 wheels, the whole development of this wheel is an embarrassment!!! I will gladly hand mine back... Even if I had no motor/board failures yet, the slides and spring, pisses me off enough alone... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riding an S22 with a V12 as backup, in 2022. You like to live dangerously Great stable of wheels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG controller only had 120miles, new one has gotten over 700 without issue. And now the S22 is dead with a blown controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
level9 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Well.. add me to the list of dead controllers. I tried to hop up a curb going 3 km/h, same as I've done dozens of times on my S18 without issue and she immediately died on me. Dead as doornail and resistance trying to roll. sigh.... Controller is v2.3 2022-01-05 Edited December 11, 2022 by level9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent me a second 2.3 / 2022-01-05 board after my first one died, but KS is saying that the new S22 has an upgraded board... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if I need to treat this thing with kid gloves (no curbs, stairs, jumps, etc.) until KS figures out what's going on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I still ride mine like I stole it - as long as I'm in an area where I wouldn't need to drag it far to get a Lyft ride home. I want this board to fail again, because I'm hoping that by the time my warranty runs out, they will have sent me a better one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps there was a manufacturing flaw or otherwise with your old one? If it was a design flaw everyone would have the same problem which they don't. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charger won't detect the wheel at all and I've tried everything posted on the forums. So that makes 1 bad motor (which ewheels pinned before they sent thankfully) 1 bad motherboard 1 bad charger sigh.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how many reports there have been of blown boards, it seems unreasonably optimistic to expect outwardly-identical boards to NOT fail at the same rate.

If it was a design problem every board would be affected but they aren't, my guess is poor QC, for instance people have found metal shavings inside the controller those are potential source of causing a short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 ...or the design problem is just that there's very little headroom, so that if certain components are near the edges of their tolerance specs, the board doesn't last. I didn't find any foreign objects in mine, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the board or the components. Maybe the MOSFET vendor can't consistently make MOSFETs that perform as advertised, for example. Or capacitors, or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk9b1f66 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) I have had problems also. First ride after 10 km. Flat inner tire. Received new one to put in myself. Horrible job. Upon inspecting the tire I found many splinter like stones inside. Cleaned out and put new tire in. Never failed the tire. Bought the suspension upgrade, that was much needed as the wheel up and down was stuck by mud somehow. Then the beeper failed. Got a new one. Put it in yesterday. Today the charger failed. After reading all these problems, I am sticking to driving it slow. ( 25kmh ) I have the first batch from myewheel. Edit : charger replacement on the way. Ty myewheel. ps: in my communication with myewheel, I found out that kingsong doesn’t care much about all the problems and leaves it up to the seller to fix everything. I received new motherboard after wheel found in strange error state. V2.3. Received January. Not installed yet.

Forum15LTJ Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I have an S 22 pro. The first issue I had with it is that the bearings were loose and would shift out of place and would make a terrible noise. Currently I feel like my charger shorted out my board. The green stand by light fluffiest sometimes and the blinks are not uniform. The wheel still turns on but doesn’t charge. I’ve replaced the charming board with no change. Here are some pics of my board. Alien rides is working on my warranties but it’s taking longer than I would like. Motherboard photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
