The blue tail light would go red once you start riding. Do you know if the colored light also turns red when riding, or does it stay RGB forever?

THe rainbow color effect goes away and turns to the normal red with turn signals/red flashing while breaking when you start riding, just as before.

trailless Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 So my stock begode shock doesn't have any rebound control anymore. So I just ended up ordering the coil shock that Marty uses. We'll see what all the fuss is about. Also got the grizzla system on and it definitely protects the wheel. But man it was a PITA to install.

But man it was a PITA to install. I got the grizzla system too and it looks great, but I dread adding an extra step to taking the fairings off for a tire change. Goes from being one of the easiest tire changes, instantly dropping the motor out, to taking an entire side of the fairings off before being able to access the motor. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUCzero Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) The oil from the oil chamber probably leaked out. The re-bound is oil dampened. The compression is air pressure. So even an air shock has an oil chamber, and when this leaks, there is no more dampening of rebound speed.

I am still testing the replacement one I have been sent which, on first test inflation, leaked about a tablespoons worth initially, but hasn't leaked any since, making me worry that there is none left. It appears to hold pressure perfectly. Is it possible to test the rebound without installing it in the wheel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not adjust the air pressure until you can compress the air shock by hand, and then release? You can even put your whole body weight on the shock, depending on how you managed to to support the ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCzero Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Yes you can test it. Try to compress the shock with very low air pressure. Lets say 30-50 psi. You should be able to compress it half way with your own body weight I think. Do it several times. With the compression adjustment totally closed, the shock should be compressed but not decompress at all. Not before you open the rebound a few clicks. Then it should slowly go back to full length. If you open more clicks, it will rebound faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilvodka Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 What tire pressure are people running? Tire says 32psi but feels too soft. I really want a better quality shock but do you need to mess about with a dremel to get it to fit with stock linkage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiguy Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the headlight angle? Mine is currently useless, pointing down about 8 ft in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbera Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Dawn just posted a very interesting report on the latest firmware for the EX-30... apparently, with the new 5005 update it no longer cuts out when it reaches 100% PWM during a freespin to max !!

When a certain version of a Kingsong firmware used to do that, it was deemed as a dangerous bug (which it was). And it was relatively quickly fixed by KS, as expected. When the latest Begode firmware has the exact same bug, it’s taken as an exciting sign of them experimenting new methods to avoid cut-outs! Boy this is sometimes a really funny community! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was an idle noise, it sounds like they might’ve just changed the shape of the PWM ramp up/down. A square wave motor current is noisy, while a sine wave is practically silent.

I don't recall saying that ! I merely called it 'interesting' and linked the video ! Dawn wasn't sure what it meant either as far as I could gather... I am very happy to learn though - why is this a terrible idea please ? Presumably it would risk overpowering components to the point where they irreversibly break ?

I was referring to what Dawn said in the video. 1 hour ago, Cerbera said: I am very happy to learn though - why is this a terrible idea please ? Generally the free spin speed isn’t reached in other circumstances than when doing the free spin test or more rarely if the wheel has crashed and is jumping around. In both cases a tire spinning at 109km/h with all it’s might is clearly very dangerous. Coming to think of it, a badly balanced jump is a situation where it might actually be useful to not have the motor power off at free spin. But I’m doubtful that Begode would’ve had that in mind.

DXKI Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 It now monitors current, which creates noise at frequencies we can hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailless Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Well the new FW, current race mode, is amazing. The only con is that the motor has an audible sound at idle. Other than that it's amazing to ride. The power delivery is smooth and it's easier to access the torque. It's actually scary how fast you can get to 40mph, even 50mph is stupid fast... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planemo Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Guys, does anyone know the details of the charge pins on the EX30? I have an 8A charger which has a single 4 pin GX16 outlet, measuring 134.6v on pins 1 and 3. I cant get any output on any other pins. I would like to link the pins on the charge plug to share the load but this would obviously only be worthwhile if the pins on the wheels charge board are also linked. If they aren't I will run dual GX16's from the charger but would rather use a single, linked GX16 if poss. As you may have guessed I dont have the wheel yet otherwise I would be able answer this question! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
