Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 How's the riding range like on the wheel from 100% charge? Could it be a cell or two that may be defective in the pack? Maybe the higher current draw up hills and during pendulums is straining the battery pack if the cells aren't pulling their weight. I wonder what the charged voltage of the battery pack is compared to a known working pack. One other possibility might be that your charger is defective and not fully charging the battery up? Did you contact your seller to see what they think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Isn't the GT16 an 84V wheel? Why is the voltage reading so low at 71V when you start off? Maybe the battery pack or charger isn't working right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT16 drivers, help me, I'm getting crazy because my new gt16 in fast roads go very fast, but I do not know if it is normal, my GT16 can't make steep ascents at low speed ...today coming in the office 1 beep slowing down, 2 beeps rising on walking road uphill going slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho at this cell voltages most EUC's beep under heavy load... Lowest voltage should be something around or a bit above 62V (3,1V per cell - don't know the values for GT16) - so 71V should be already well below 50%... 12 minutes ago, LEO_LEO said: GT16 drivers, help me, I'm getting crazy because my new gt16 in fast roads go very fast, but I do not know if it is normal, my GT16 can't make steep ascents at low speed ...today coming in the office 1 beep slowing down, 2 beeps rising on walking road uphill going slow It's also beeping like this will fully charged batteries? If so you should get in contact with your reseller, as already @Barry Chen stated. Maybe something is not ok with your batteries and/or conections...

LEO_LEO Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I have not found many videos of Gt16 in hard uphill, only this where there is a much stronger pendulum than my first video ... someone have a video with an hard uphill of a Gt16 V2 ?

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm betting it could be a control board issue where it's reacting a little too soon to the extra current spike during hill climbs and sudden changes of direction. Maybe @Scatcat can comment. Most likely it needs replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @Scatcat can comment. Most likely it needs replacement. Not without test riding the EUC myself. I can't say for sure if it's riding style or faulty firmware. But I think it may be time to consult whomever sold the thing to @who_the, as the problem seem a bit too much to be just riding style. I can say I weigh about as much and I don't experience the same thing, so it might be that there is something wrong. I don't really have any serious hills around, there are some climbs in the 25-30% range, but not much more than that. If I have the time, I'll go try one of those climbs this weekend, and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 my problem is that in Italy the Gt16 is a new product, it is not yet a well-known product, so I can't' look for a direct comparative test with another rider. Gt16 riders, can you post videos, or even photos, self made or found in the net, that will let me know if my Gt16 is missing and know how much it is missing? I don't found significant tests of ability to deliver power in extreme conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't found significant tests of ability to deliver power in extreme conditions I would advise to ask your GT16 question in the France Forum! espritroue.fr There are a lot more GT16 users.... (From what i know: The newest Version of GT16 seams to have a quit sensible amperage Alarm! I have seen a GW Tesla Video where a Tesla and a GT16 are driving up a hill...the GT16 was beeping the hole time and there was a text in the Video stating, that the beeps come from the GT16 and that this is normal for it to do so on high amperage....)

Yes, Thanks, I know the video, but I have the problem in hard up hill, I can't go up, the wheel slows down and stops, ok I am 90 kg, but the road is a road for cars too (sure extreme up hill road for cars, but not only for extreme cars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 ...I could ask this way: GT16 riders, can your gt16 climbing every up hill? if no, where did it happen that it stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO_LEO Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 ok, i will measure the degrees and percentage too this weekend (the road is a little far going with the wheel) ...but my question remain : GT16 riders, was it ever happened that the wheel could not climb? if yes, on what occasion?
