xafofo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 When low (maybe <25%) battery going uphill, my 14D tiltbacks so bad, maybe 45 degrees, that I can't ride anymore and then it just stays tilted back. I have to power off then on to get the horizontal calibration back to normal. But then I can only ride a few feet before I have to hop off again. I have firmware v1.05, is this normal?

Michael Vu Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 With the situation that you described, that is perfectly normal especially if its a steep incline and if you're trying to go more than 10 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xafofo Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Yea these are some moderately steep inclines (around 15% grade and higher). This effectively renders the last part of my battery not terribly useful... I guess that's what I get for living up on a hill haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, these steep hills are hard work for the battery and you get a high voltdrop, so that the firmware thinks your battery is near 0 and so the tiltback sets in. Perhaps that would be better on a 14S (more batterys paralleled, so less voltdrop), but depending on the hill this might happen on every wheel!
