Rehab1 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 2 hours ago, Marty Backe said: This is very interesting. I would not have expected such a proactive response from a 2nd/3rd party Chinese vendor. Gotway must be taking this seriously and putting the word out to everyone that they've supplied boards to. Guess this confirms that the ACM is affected too. Yes I was surprised to see that warning this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 @Marty Backe now seeing that in SlowMo, you were SO LUCKY that you have at least a bit of reaction time left for one or two steps forward before the Touchdown. From selfexperience i know that with real cutting out even this would not have been possible and just a pure smash on the bottom! Thank God that this tiny bump did not happen on a street/bike lane with cars nearby, that could have run over you! seams for me "oscillating " isn't the right word for that problem...its more like a "electric unicycle rodeo" ride....back and forth.

Thanks Apparently the affected wheels are those made from May 1st thru the 15th. But your dealer should know for sure since this appears to be wide spread. Talk to Dion.

In regards of the comments given to Jason by Gotway how reliable is the comment that the batch of the 1st thru the 15th is the only affected batch.. Based on my serial I should be safe but still I still trying all kind of things to get it to oscillate.. Not that I want to but I it is all about building confidence I thing :-) I hope that all affected wheel will get resolved soon and that everybody can get their confidence back and ride the wheel the way you love it..

The back-and-forth oscillation can clearly be seen right before I'm ejected. You can also clearly hear the single beep before it cuts out. For grins, watch my feet fly thru the air at the end Did it pitch forward or backwards first ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinder3 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 3 hours ago, Jason McNeil said: Late last night Linnea revealed more details into the nature of the fault: the Engineer(s) thought it would be a good idea to implement current limiting (exact code snippet please?!) in an attempt to mitigate the type MOSFET of burnouts that Marty recorded on his ACM during that steep hill climb only a couple days earlier—obviously not from that specific example, but from a handful of other Users. I don't think it's fair for Marty to be the unofficial test pilot for GW Wheels Heading out to LA on Thursday to get started on this project. When dealing product safety, monetary considerations are subordinated to reliability. Are you going to be around Saturday morning ?

But the slow-motion video shows everything you need to know. Just wondering if it was trying to tilt back and then realized that it wasn't suppose to and then got 'stuck' in the firmware trying to correct itself. Or maybe the feedback that the firmware is getting from the wheel was that the feedback is too sensitive or the feedback wasn't sensitive enough. (Just a thought.)

New Wheels For Everyone! Very funny I do try and do my part I think the overheating wires is well known now, and from Jason wrote, the failed firmware patch was an attempt to address the excessive current. Gotway probably now realizes that the only true fix is bigger axles and bigger wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
