RhoadsNRoses82 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 This probably has to do with the fact that I accidentally charged my wheel to 100%....but today after riding a little under a mile on this 100% charge, the wheel suddenly tilted waaaaaay back, i got off, and it started repeating "please repair", with a red light glowing near the battery indicator. I found some info on this in the forum, one person saying that it's a protective mechanism when on 100% charge and going downhill. However i had already ridden almost a mile at like 30mph before this happened, which should have sufficiently drained the battery, so I'm not sure. anyone else had this issue? i don't wanna faceplant from a cutout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Regenerative braking can send a lot on charge into the battery if even for a very short period. This probably tripped the warning. You are probably good to go just don't do hard braking right after a full charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispy8 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 It's not your fault for charging it 100%. You charge it to full like every other device you have an if it fails it's because it's a poorly designed/manufactured product. Any update from Inmotion? Beware of using the app. It might disable your battery and lock you out. Good luck getting any actionable support from Inmotion. So far it's empty promises for my issues.

RhoadsNRoses82 Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I didn't bother trying to contact them, i just kept riding, and the problem hasn't happened again. I'll just be using EUCWorld app to limit to 90% charge from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
