macgyvercanada Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Hey all, I'm back on the V11 after a rough cutout crash, associated repairs, and unrelated injuries & illness over the spring and summer. I've logged about 200km on my new driver board & motherboard. I was about 10 minutes from home on a lazy ride to meet up with a friend; battery still at 5 bars but I'd ridden a few km's already. I was going up a gentle slope at perhaps 20 km/h when I got tiltback and the "Please repair!" message. Weird, never had that before. I got off, restarted the wheel, and carried on. About 100m down the path while headed gently downhill, "Please repair!" again. I got off, ran diagnostics, and the Inmotion app said there was a problem but didn't identify it. I checked the battery state; no issues there. So I fired off a log report to Inmotion, restarted again, ran another diagnostic, and it was all clear this time. Weird. I carried on to met my friend in the park and stopped for an hour or so. When it was time to leave, I got three more "Please repair!" errors before I left the park! And then I rode the rest of the way home (+/- 3km) at a very modest speed but without incident. When I stopped at home I was getting another "Please repair!" as I powered off. Power on: "Please repair!". Power off. Power on: no errors. WTF. Any ideas?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Damn. Which parts did you have replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 If it's not the board(s) or installation error there are only the motor and battery packs left. In the app you're supposed to be able to see separate voltages for both packs. They should be within like 0.3v of oneanother. Have a look to rule that out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that'd be the motherboard, driver board, and front headlight assembly... and the headlight seems to be working just fine! 23 hours ago, alcatraz said: If it's not the board(s) or installation error there are only the motor and battery packs left.

macgyvercanada Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Didn't the Inmotion app have a more comprehensive diagnostic at one time? Does EUC World app offer anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrelwood Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Did you install the boards separately by yourself, or did they arrive as a complete assembly with the heat sink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embededfabrication Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I'm just putting a VESC on mine, tired of this nonsense. I did a tire change after 5 months on a brand new V11 and the electronics went kaput Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a tire change after 5 months on a brand new V11 and the electronics went kaput I've read your other posts on this and it's an interesting idea. Please carefully document this process, including the parts you're using. I really do like the V11, but the suspension is meh (I received Bill Gao's v1 blue shocks but haven't installed them yet) and reliability of the V11 model seems to be all over the place; I know that some people have gone > 15,000km with no more than a tire change but I've gone through 2 driver boards, 3 motherboards, and now this whatevertheproblemis at around 2,500km total distance traveled. I really wish that there were some Inmotion-sanctioned mods to improve reliability (eg: Raptor retrofit), but I'll listen to any good ideas out there right now.

embededfabrication Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I put 5000 miles on my first V11, the bearings went before the 1 year warranty so they actually just gave me another one. Now with this new one, after I do a tire change at 5 months it goes kaput, I posted it working with the trampa vesc in t he repairs section of the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has over 14,000km on it through all seasons. The only thing I’ve done is replaced the suspension shocks and added spiked pedals. I still have the stock tire on it. I’ve dented the rim in a few places and I did have it shut off and needed inmotion to run a diagnostic on it. I know a few people that have had to replace boards and motors. It seems every company has QC issues. Super frustrating considering it’s a single wheeled device with minimal redundancies……… sorry to hear about the ongoing issues. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellkitten Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I was a bit off my mileage. Not much though. I haven’t turned it on in awhile. Not bad wear on the stock tire all things considered. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most people forget about this when they discuss tires with others. Massive mistake IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgyvercanada Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 Inmotion did reply... Quote I checked the log file found that was the battery 1 ( Left side） error happened on 3 th Sep. please comfirm the date correctly or not did your wheel get locked by the APP? I think need to get the new battery replaced . Battery looks fine in my Sept 11 screenshot. What can be tested? Or should I just bite the bullet and replace the pack, which I can't seem to buy in Canada... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
