I am assuming that the interface cable must attach to one of the MB sockets. Whoa! What's with all the empty sockets? Gotway's are looking more and more complicated and all those tiny components make me think they have a good engineering staff. 8 empty plugs, what are they for?

Besides, ANY AMOUNT for a wheel that does what these Gotway wheels are doing is overpriced! I wouldn't pay $200 for this Gotway wheel! It's wasted money if you CAN'T RIDE THE WHEEL!

The "less limitations" of Gotway wheels COULD be successful. Unfortunately, Gotway seems very sloppy nowadays. If they would rigorously test their designs and products, I really think success is possible. Gotway is ruining itself with this careless way of product development.

That way you could test a wheel while it is under load and running, introduce bumps of differing amplitude, monitor temperature rises under increased load (to simulate steep hill climbing), and to see what occurs when you disable hall sensors. Hmmm, that's what a reasonable person would expect ANY EUC MAKER HAS! If they don't, THAT'S ASTOUNDING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find the QC date. edit (sorry I was wrong): you must look at your production date, motor code/batch says nothing. Looks like your wheel is good I can not guarantee with 100% absolute certainty simply because I don't know 100%, but it should be good. Reasoning: You're 1609, which is earlier than the affected batches (1703 - 1705 and there might be some others). My ACM 1300Wh is 1609 also and it is perfectly fine (had a lot of bumps and no problems). See the picture for the label on my box. It shows the motorcode (starting with 1609) and, under the bar code, the production date is the first 6 digits of that number (here: 11th April 2017 - 170411). Probably your wheel is still good, but production date matters. What is your production date? The earlier, the better. Maybe it gives some more indication. (I believe bad wheels were shipped starting May 1st [and produced a few days earlier] so earlier in April is better in this case) @Marty Backe What's your bad msuper's batch and production date?

meepmeepmayer Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Oops yeah you're at work and didn't yet see Hunka's picture yet too Would be nice to know your batch, because it's outside of what GW initially said was affected (at least shipping date wise) so maybe something new to learn from it.

Gotway's are looking more and more complicated and all those tiny components make me think they have a good engineering staff. 8 empty plugs, what are they for? The board shown is not installed. Most of the sockets are in use when all of the plugs from the hall sensors, usb, lights, on/off switch, fan, etc are tied in. There are a few unoccupied sockets. One must be for the firmware interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 @Rehab1 Since the boards are coated in silicone, I wonder if you made a distilled water bath and gently scrubbed off all the debris with a soft nylon brush (toothbrush would work) whether the board might still have some life to it. It shouldn't corrode that quickly making me think that it could be surface crud more than anything. Is there any voltage from the battery? Or is it acidic goo from the batteries? On a side note it's cool that they have screwed on motor wiring with connectors rather than soldering directly to the board. I take it those blue connectors with the screws are motor wiring?

The treadmill arrives Monday which will be mounted between a set of parallel bars for me to hold onto as I plan to be the test dummy and ride the ACM. The ACM will be harnessed to the parallel bars in case I need to abort. My dual probe temperature data logger arrived today which will provide quantifiable temp readouts of both the motor wiring and the mosfets. I plan to embed one of the probes directly in the heat shrink surrounding the motor wires. I believe I can simulate bumps using a harness attached to my waist and the wheel. I plan to use the parallel bars to push off with my arms to create a bumping effect on the wheel. It looks like I may need to check on a high speed camera as well. Put a sensor right on the bullet connectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
