GT16: bip when change direction

Recommended Posts

@G.Rhum I haven't made your test because my wheel is very new and I'm too afraid to break it :facepalm:   ... but sure my wheel never makes your second strange sound

Today before the night, when the sun is going down, after work if I am in time I make a video, actually, a documentary fit for CNN International :smartass:

Where did you buy your wheel from?  Did you try contacting the Rockwheel store people on AliExpress?  How about @Barry Chen @Yi Chen?  Is there still support for Rockwheel customers?

@Barry Chen and @Yi Chen are very corrects, they are in favour for helping me,  if I think the wheel is not perfect and I want change the controller, I have to disassemble the controller and send it, they will send me a new controller. But before disassembling pieces, I would be sure that the operation could improve the wheel (It seems to me little powerful uphill)  in my ignorance it seems that the controller has not problems, it beeps above 3000 A

So, with this posts, I hope that with the help of the GT16 riders it is possible make a comparison with their wheels , and also @Barry Chenand @Yi Chen can achieve more accurate diagnosis and understand if the wheel really has problems or not , and then confirm if changing the controller the problem will be fixed

Oh that's good to hear.  :thumbup:  I haven't seen Barry on the forums lately so I wasn't sure if you were in contact with the RW people.  It sounds like you're in good hands and will be well taken care of.  Judging by the videos of people doing the pendulum online with the GT16, it does appear that your wheel might have the newer firmware that warns you a bit earlier.  It's difficult to tell if the hill climbing ability is out of range for that wheel or whether it could be a weak battery pack (or some cells in it).  It sounds like to me that maybe the pack isn't able to provide enough current under heavy load so the draw during hill climbs and pendulums triggers the beeps.

The max I've tried is 30%, and that wen't well. But then I came at the climb with a bit of speed, maybe 20kph. Starting uphill is a bit more tricky as you can get quite bad transients. One thing you can do if you have the space is start of diagonally going slalom uphill until you've built enough speed to straighten it out.

My impression, as written earlier, is that my gt16 is very good in the plain, but it is not designed for steep ascents. Of course even my gt16 is stronger than the Ninebot one +, but not so much as I thought, for this I was looking for a comparison with other owners.

As you can see in the graph 1, going dast the Ampere are below 20 A (five stars: very, very good :) ), in medium strong up hill road ( graph 2, the wheel  can go but it sometime it must use more then 30 A (three stars, sometime it beeps, it is no too good but it is bearable ) but if am in a very strong up hill  road, at slow speed my wheel suffers a lot (1 star )

Look at the Performance of the 800Watt KS14d:

 

The GT16 with 2000Watt should AT LEAST be able to get up such a hill with 25degree like yours.....

Test your wheel on this hill with a Little Speed (15-20kmh) build up before you enter the hill!

Then it should be able to do that hill. When you just do a start at the bottom with your weight  and 0kmh might not be so good....

I believe that reading 500w, 800w, 2000w is not correct, it does not count only the power, but as it is dispensed.
My Gt16 is not capable of high power peaks at low wheel revs, probably if I were 60 kg and not 90kg I would not have noticed, but as 90 kg yes ...and the choice of safety in the V2 version with the low calibrated beep increases the perception of this lack when it is under stress at low revs

Most really fast EUCs are "geared" for speed more than torque. You can spend all that power to create a slower but stronger force, or a faster but weaker one. If the GT16 had a max speed somewhere around 30 kph, and still had 2000W nominal power, you could probably climb ridiculous hills. But as it is the torque is good, but more optimised for fast running than strong climbing.

I would love to see a next generation of EUCs that has the power to do both. But my guess is that we probably need a higher voltage to be able to do high torque and high max rpm, 100V or somewhere around that number. And then we need battery cells that can deliver more current faster, and still have enough juice to last a while.

The next generation batteries are coming, but sadly they have been a long time coming...

...or a heavier motor (more windings give you more speed, thicker coil wires give more torque, but all that copper is heavy),

but for me 17.5kg is about the max I'm willing to live with .')

The one (and only?) thing that was better about the GT16 V1 was that it was apparently using Samsung 30Q cells (conservatively) rated for 15A, as opposed to the V2 using 10A Panasonic/Sanyo (on both capacity models). That said, I have not noticed any significant current dips so far, but hey, I live on a flatland.

Well I have the old battery packs and the new board and motor... lucky me! :D

Yes, but unfortunatly thats just a rumour :-)

the v1/v2 858wh are both using the 18650PF with 2900mah/10A

The 30q is 3000mah, that. doesnt work out to 858wh, and this cell is that expensive that until now no serial EUC has used it :-(

I suspected that was the case.

That would be the 1036Wh version using 18650GA. I asked rockwheel store...

18650PF can not do 15A while it is possible for 18650GA for quite a long time (but caution with overheating)

Motor efficiency increases with speed (and is very bad at slow speed) so you need to get some speed and then it will be much better.
