Hapsflaps7laps Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have been riding it about 3 months... I had reset it to go 35KPH.. Everything was great until yesterday when I noticed I got the "Please Decelerate" notice and tilt back... but going a lot slower than it should be at. I checked my speed settings on the app and it was set to 35 still, yet it was happening at about 28kph. I can't put in a new code on the speed limit decoding screen cuz once you do it once, you get the same screen as the speed limit setup. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but it still wouldn't bring me to the proper screen to enter a code again.. I tried to install the new version of the app on my android phone from the website but it doesn't download.... so I installed the old app on my friends iPhone and finally thought I had it solved when I saw the proper speed limit decoding screen... I did it.. took it for a ride, and nope... still set to 28kph... I wonder if I need to reset the wheel to a factory default and how to do it. Does anyone know how to solve this? Help!!

kasenutty Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 What was your battery %? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapsflaps7laps Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 about 3 green lights currently.. this has never happened before and I usually run the battery down to 1 or 2 green lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got me wondering now. The other day I got a rather aggressive tilt back that took me by surprise. I don't know what speed I was doing, but I rarely approach 35k. I'm wondering now, if I was experiencing what you describe. I'll have to yank the app out and monitor/crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasenutty Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 That's all I got, but there's smarter dudes here than me. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's practically flat. No wonder it slowed you down. I rarely go lower than 50% which is more than three lights. I've never seen three lights. Charge that puppy up. EDIT. Don't let your wheel get that low routinely. That's not gasoline in your tank; it's not good to the last drop. Low batteries cannot send enough current to keep you upright when a large demand occurs, Hill, bump, hard braking, hard acceleration. OR Get yourself a good full face helmet. You're gonna need one.

When you have got that at three LED lights, it was just that because of your (perhaps hefty) acceleration the battery voltage droped under the 30% value. That is quite normal... That might happen on hefty accelerations or on uphills. As soon as you stop the voltage drop recovers...but in the specific situation it was enough to trigger the reduced tiltback.
