gon2fast Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The V10 series has a known charging issue. My V10 will only charge to 89% no matter how long it is on the charger. InMotion support has a fix, but does not have enough of the hardware required for the solution to accommodate all of the riders affected by this issue. I am currently in line for the fix myself, lol.

This is interesting. So it’s an issue within the wheel hardware itself, not charger or firmware? Did your wheel ever charge past 89%?

More than interesting. I was complaining about 'low mileage' from beginning on. I was told, that is normal. I've written at least 10 times to inmotion - nothing happened. My dealer didn't handle that problem at all. So please, keep us informed about this issue. I 'love' this forum - it helps us much!

Real life mileage is roughly half of the announced, on any wheel. Due to this, new riders are often disappointed. But since you mention a clear change after 4000km, something has changed. That makes me think your’s is probably a separate issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a firmware bug but requires a hardware usb stick to be connected to the main board for fixing. The bug is about displaying percentage correctly, it still should charge normally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRide Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 After riding a while, people tend to ride more aggressively, this can have a very noticeable impact on the battery. Range issues are tough to figure out without metering the battery directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just keep it plugged in over night and it stops changing by itself when it turns green. Was never told to do anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generic I last checked was still giving out 0.65A, and continued to taking a few dozen Wh more, for balancing the cells. 7 hours ago, Harold Farrenkopf said: Was never told to do anything different. This is an actual issue with our relatively new product class. The user manuals are very incomplete even for some of the most basic required usage habits. Luckily this forum has a huge amount of information, but if one does not know what to look for, it really isn’t the user’s fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 New pedals! Seems to be an upgraded structure and surface. They managed to combine rubber and grip tape. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi gon2fast, could you elaborate on this issue? I am trying to charge my V10F to 90% capacity with the Charge Doctor and, upon hitting that threshold, I checked the voltage in the InMotion app and it says its 15% lower voltage than the Charge Doctor readout. You mentioned you're in line for the fix: is the problem just that the firmware is misreading the voltage of the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lirva Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Guess this depends on reseller. My is from gearbest so not high hopes on any warranty issues. My pedals are still ok, 700kms with 100kg rider. Some offroading but i havent jumped much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrzone Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I’m not clear on why there’s a posting “in the wild” for a new pedal design yet no word on availability or any other news. Typically I’d expect to see some context from the manufacturer. Despite the grief InMotion gets on this forum (some deserved, some not), I really like my V10F and V5F. Looking to get a V8 too. But it would be nice to get some more info on product updates like these pedals. Also, FWIW, out of the box my V10F wouldn’t charge to 100% (only 3/4 battery indicator), despite the charger going green. I left it plugged in overnight and haven’t had the problem since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBIKER_SURFER Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Today I modified my new charger (3A instead of 1.5A) for the 10 F, so laoding will take only half the time :-)) I had to change the connector by a GX12-3 (12mm diameter, 3 pins). Will see, whether charging will also change - meaning whether battery gets 100% full. Will see after a few ridings this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBIKER_SURFER Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 No change on mileage after loading the V10 F with the 3 A charger. That means, either my battery has degraded approx. 20% within 14 months or there ist still a hardware bug on laoding the V10. I think, my battery has degraded that much. Hopefully it is not getting worse ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope whatever is next from InMotion is either a little smaller and lighter than the V10 or it has suspension. That photo looks like neither. My V10F is no longer playing the default sounds correctly. Turn on sound is fine but the turn off sound volume is barely audible and has static. The sound when I plug it in is all whack and awful. Anyone know a fix or how to reset? Also, I still get pedal tilt when I take turns. I can only get them level again by braking. I’ve don’t the calibration dozens on times and it doesn’t seem to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing happened up to now - and nothing will happen in future. Definitely my last inmotion EUC - just incredible, how they can do further business! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If this sometime hapend to me i use calibrate V10F and all is fine instantly for loong time pedals always keep absolutely flat. I use 100% sensitivity on pedals 40kmh(speedlimit) 40psi. My unit is QC tested 5/19 firmware 2.2.1.0. Units in time have some hardware changes and bug fixies(new mainboard etc). V10F is Now good whell to buy if you compare price efectivity warranty strong waterprofing and build quality especialy assembly quality.

MBIKER_SURFER Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 @DjPanJan: This has nothing to do with calibration. This is a fw bug and confirmed by inmotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
