This is becoming an issue... motors are notoriously EMI polluters, but yeah. they must have taken notes from LeaperKim's Sherman playbook report it to eWheels, maybe they'll add it to the (long and getting longer) list for KS...

They get peppered with my "observations", poor guys. The wheel handles my local market fine so no love lost yet. I did let it go to see how far forward it would go earlier... it keeps going, not the best test in a busy supermarket with crap in your hands. Have a early morning ride in store (0500) so I was inspecting my sliders and noticed one seemed to have something protruding out of the top of the slider. OHCHIT the POS guide broke off on a hit. Earlier I was bouncing off curbs of all sizes and generally riding like a butthole on the trails so user error, oh well. nope, slug (slimy insect).

After a few minutes I came back and noticed that wheel was off and the charger was displaying green. I knew that i had burned through a couple of bars so I checked to make sure that the connector was properly seated. It was firmly attached so I unplugged it and plugged it back in with no change. I powered the wheel on to make sure I the board was still functional and everything was working fine. I changed the to the other connector and the charger was still green. Wheel is now turned off so I pull the power cord on the charger and plug it back in. Now the wheel starts charging. Maybe there is something going on with my BMS, good call. If unplugging and plugging in the charger to the wheel didn't help but only restarting the charger did, the issue is on the charger. It was parfait perhaps somehow locked in a finished charging mode.

Maybe so. It is weird that it is only happening near the cooling units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Cooling units zapped me again around lunch. I thought that I had successfully avoided them, but when I went to check out the wheel went into its trance. Interestingly it went forward, stopped and back this time. My bad for not throwing it in a shopping cart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I am weighing somewhere around 260lbs (SMH) nowadays. I did an impromptu range test the other day. I did a 25 mile trip not really paying attention to speed, but keeping it below 30mph. When I got home I still had 33% left on the charge. I figure I could have got another 5 miles without throttling/beeping (pure speculation LOL). There was a bunch of offroad w/ climbs in there too.

I set out on another trip for additional items and was heading towards my normal bike path. I was cruising down a street in the bike lane and sensed something behind me. I looked back and saw some jackass hanging out of a car trying to grab me or my backpack for fun. Needless to say they sped off once I looked back. I caught them at the next intersection, but they had the windows up. Made eye contact with jackass, but this idiot was still gloating so the chase was on. Got backed up an intersection and the car turned into a neighborhood. Was not going to mess with idiots at their residence so I got hell out of dodge. This shit is fun, but be prepared for the worse. I know some will scold me for pursuing, but I am not going to be bullied and had he got hold of me I could have been yanked down into traffic. Sorry, very negative, but I stand my ground as I am just minding my business not hurting anyone.

gon2fast Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 New motor arrived. Not motivated to do anything with it at this point in time... maybe I will paint it black and throw my 340A on it, but not today LOL. What I really want is an extended front fender. Riding in the rain has been rather annoying since the spray is hitting the underside of my trolley handle and getting on the charge port covers and power button. No issues so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 My charger keeps putting itself in "Saturated Shut Down" mode and will not start the charging process. Cycling the power to the charger resolves the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Random Updates/Thoughts - I have been back to local supermarket with the freezers that like to dance with my S22 two times this week with no issues. I don't get it. Maybe the shelves were well stocked and the ordering units were not alarming (don't quote me, that information was extracted from my lower region LOL) Need another charger as the one I have keeps going into standby mode. No response from my reseller, oh well. Going to retrofit a MTB front fender on the S22 to extend the front fender and stop getting blasted by debris and rocks (especially when seated). Rollers sound like crap. I like the sports car suspension feel, it is very predictable. No gush wanted, but I know that it will work better for lighter folks. Send me your legacy suspension components please LOL. Rode through a crime scene last night where an employee (aggressor) at a deli shot someone from behind the counter (WTF). Gonna install that replacement motor one day... Keep running into two red foxes in the early evenings Thermal underwear are phuking awesome My Laser lights work much better in LED mode - Brighter than my neighbor's Xmas lights LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 I like my S22, but I do not like the battery config. Got stuck a few towns away after missing the only early afternoon train home and had to burn 2.5 hours until the next train. Long story short, I got about 1.75 hours of moderate riding and I was down to one bar feeling very underwhelmed. Made it home with no throttling so I will give it that. I will probably keep the S22 for dorking around and sell some other wheels to fund a more commute worthy solution. EX30 looks to be next.
