Realityshift Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Hello! I haven't used my EUC in about a year. Finally pulled it out this week. I downloaded EUCWorld app and got it connected. I can ride it up and down the street and full speed with no issues. But as soon as I'm on a slight incline for a couple seconds it says please repair and tilts back til I'm off. I can turn it off and back on and continue... But if it's an incline it happens again. These inclines I'm talking about are not big. I've been on wayyyy steeper without issues in the past. Any clues on how to fix this? I'm not finding much in my Google search in. Edit: or is there some further way I can get dianostics/logs/etc to help pinpoint the issue further?

Punxatawneyjoe Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 You could use the inmotion app, it has a diagnostic tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Dam, looks like you have gained quit a bit of extra weight over that year.. And now wheel can't get you up any incline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the inmotion app. It says "unknown model" even though it clearly picks up the model on wifi.

Lmao. I wish that was the issue, at least then I could fix it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded an old version of the app and it connected. Says everything is good 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says everything is good 🙄 Have you tried recalibrating the wheel? (The part where you need to level the wheel and turn it off/on via app.) Any sudden spikes in power, when trying to go up incline? Compared when ridding on flat ground? Edited July 20, 2023 by Funky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked that button earlier but it wasn't working. Just looked up a video on how to do it and it said success. A quick test on the driveway seems to be successful!! I'll go for a longer ride to see if it has any further issues. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should find the biggest incline you can find in local area.. And do a test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I hope the issue is resolved. But in addition, not having used the wheel in a year can be really harmful for the batteries. What was the charge level during that time? Does it charge up to full voltage? Bad batteries can have a significantly reduced output power. Since the V8F is already a low powered wheel, you need to be really careful at faster speeds if the battery is not in good condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my quick Google search, it seems 84V is what it's rated for - is that right? I will have to check tomorrow but I believe it was 83.9v on the EUC world app Edited July 23, 2023 by Realityshift Adding detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 After long time in storage - i would recommend keeping it connected to charger extra 2-4hrs after it turns green. Instead of regular 1-2hrs after charger turns green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to its shenanigans. Sad day :[ letting it fully charge again to test that but then I'm out of ideas except for replacing parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
