UnbalancedMathematician Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My new Nikola 100v beeped and turned on without pressing power button. The following details the conditions under which this occurred. Wheel: Nikola 100v Molicel P42a Total Distance: 120km Firmware model selected Nikola_GW1702003 Firmware stated is 2002 Recent changes: Firmware upgrade (unsure why GW...2003 installs 2002) Calibration Conditions under which this occurred. App Not Connected Wheel off Pressing on Left Side applying power pad (not hard pressing) Orientation: standing upright in a home made stand Effect: Beep Wheel started slowly turning against the Styrofoam diy stand. Actions Taken: Pressed power button Result of Action Taken The wheel turned off. Question: Is there a secondary start option I am not aware of being a beginner? Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingGrandpa Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The EUC should not activate without pressing the power button. Perhaps the power button wire is pinched or cut somewhere? Often these small wires get trapped between mounting points when screwing closed the EUC shell, causing insulation damage... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Was the wheel charging or did you plug in the charging cable before or during the event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive the memory slip -- I do know this was either during or within a min or two after charging. Frankly, I can't recall which. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbalancedMathematician Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Following up. Pressing on side of shell when on can turn on the headlight, done again a few times can turn it to strobe etc. (Discovered while adjusting powerpads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some loose connection going on somewhere, or unwanted electrical connection? And pushing on the shell moves a cable/connector somewhere? Ask your seller (ewheels because of Molicel?) what they think of that. Maybe it's just a board error and you should get a new board? Better safe than sorry.
