Crab Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Anyone know the phase wire order by color on the board? And how to check hall sensor wires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your questions doesn't match your video, in the video there is resonance from motor vibrations, motor vibrations are normal, the resonance is from something being loose thus amplifying the motor vibrations, possibly display or motherboard screws are not tightened.

I turned my EX30 on like that once last year and I did not have a good time. The motor felt rough when riding. I power cycled it and it stopped. Since then I only start it balanced and I do not use the "lift switch". If it is not then it is as Rawnei says. Also check your motor screws since they have a tendency to loosen. But normally this is a loose motherboard issue. edit: spelling Edited April 5 by Mike Sacristan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the 4 display screws were too tight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planemo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 8 hours ago, Rawnei said: Didn't know too tight was a thing but good find! Neither did I, can't see how this could make any difference as the display is on standoffs which are there to provide a firm, flat mount and prevent any board flex. Do them up too tight and you'll either strip the threads and/or start chewing up the board but the areas around the bolts aren't in any way linked to or related to the working circuits. Maybe there was a wire caught under it? Or something preventing the board from sitting flat on the standoffs? Either way, I would be pretty cautious about this because if 'loosening' the board makes things work but tightening it doesn't, it suggests that the board is flexing and a solder point or trace has cracked somewhere. All mobo and display bolts should be 'tight', and with blue threadlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but either way I would still want to know exactly what was causing this because it isn't ideal. Would the same situation happen if one happens to put too much pressure around the display area when sitting for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it seems odd but the screws holding the display with standoffs. I replaced bearings but now I'm wondering if something else was going on, I could feel it in my feet. I need to gear up tomorrow and test ride it, seems to spin up and act normal but we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Honestly mate I would be pulling the display off again and carefully inspecting every connection around/under it to see if something was trapped/not seated properly. Or at least trying to repeat the symptoms to try and identify what was happening. I'd be too scared to ride the wheel as it is but you're big enough to make that decision yourself!

So I only took the display off and didn't disconnect anything but the hall sensor and phase wires. Green, blue, yellow in that order. I took it out today and rode 43 miles at various speed, it still makes noise but runs perfectly. I also just updated the firmware but haven't had a chance to test it further, the humming comes and goes perhaps louder after it warms up. I'm going to try and get some sound clips with the 360 cam this week. Edited April 7 by Crab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Sounds good. I can't remember the phase order so can't help you there but if it wasn't right I think you would have more problems than you do. Would be interesting to hear the noise you feel you shouldn't be getting. I'm out of the FW loop too, I'm using quite an old one and don't want to change it tbh.

Planning to check all the fasteners tonight and firmware change I did last night. Now on 14, the latest Begode offers. If that doesn't work I might roll it back and try 11. Update: quick ride to my shop and it seems better with firmware change, waiting on weather for a proper test Edited April 9 by Crab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprimic Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 New firmware is out (EX30_GW20240702). It is stated that "Optimize some program problems". Has anyone tested the new firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyss Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 What's the max speed people have gone on a ex30 with field weakening? Does EUC world take field weakening into consideration? Begode recommends no higher than 5 but I'm hitting the beeps at 76kph (GPS timer) but of course they don't explain why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCzero Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Field weakening add top speed, but gives you less torque. Setting above 5, they are afraid you will over lean (go beyond max available torque) at high speed when the torque is lower than the rider expects or are used too.

What's the max speed people have gone on a ex30 with field weakening? - I've seen Roger hit what appears to be 106 kph, wheel speed (on an EX30 I believe with the 50E cells) before getting a scary near-cutout. Alexa ("Pro Rider EUC") on YouTube , has routinely hit 100 kph on the EX30 on video. Also, the 50S variant may go higher. Apparently Begode made some improvements to the most recent releases of the EX30. Does EUC world take field weakening into consideration? - into consideration? It certainly works when you change settings in EUCworld. Are you asking if it changes how it calculates any of its displayed telemetry depending on field weakening chosen? Begode recommends no higher than 5 but I'm hitting the beeps at 76kph (GPS timer) but of course they don't explain why. - have you reviewed logs? My EX30 can hit 80kph at less than 50% battery charge and still be under 80% PWM. I'm between 75-80 kg. Edited September 3 by Talon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Begode made some improvements to the most recent releases of the EX30. Yeah interesting. Roger is a tinkerer and I know at one stage he had a master with ex30 controller/motor and molicel packs but unsure of he still uses that setup. On my ex30 with a pilot street 2 and Roger tire spacers my wheel speed is 11% off real speed. 1 hour ago, Talon said: into consideration? It certainly works when you change settings in EUCworld. Are you asking if it changes how it calculates any of its displayed telemetry depending on field weakening chosen? I was getting 80% warning beeps through EUC world but I didn't hear my wheel beep which is should beep at 70% for a pre warning. It could be wind noise but it also could be to do with how field weakening is applied if it activates at 80% pwm 1 hour ago, Talon said: have you reviewed logs?

I've looked at the EUC world tour and I can definitely see the alarms. Is that 80kph wheel or GPS speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
