Jpd Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have a fairly new v5f+ with around 80 miles on it, and today it stopped making all sounds, except for when I start it up. Nothing else seems to be different. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You should post this in the Inmotion section, you would get more response from people who have Inmotion wheels. Also you could contact the seller and ask what the problem could be. Where did you get the wheel from? What sounds did it make before? What sound does it make now at startup, a beep? I don't remember at the moment reading about a similar problem with any other wheel, only reading about new sounds happening. If the wheel still rides normally, probably no need to worry about it.

Jpd Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks! I’m new to the forum still navigating it. I think I’ll take your advice, it seems to be riding just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else seems to be different. Any ideas? Having sold close to 300x of these Wheels, we've got quite a bit of experience with the V5F. For this particular sound problem, it has usually been down to two possibilities: 1) sound package on the board is corrupt & just needs to pushed to the Wheel from the App, 2) the board needs replacing.

Mrd777 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 This happened to me, I had to replace the board. Seems like this is a repetitive problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Same thing happened to me on my old V5F+ too, but it was more of a side-effect of my main problem. @Jason McNeil assisted with replacing my board at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpd Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 How hard was the board to change? I bought my wheel second hand, so no warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the wheel still safe to ride or should I just order a new board ? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Onymous Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It is very easy to just pull and replace. Take a couple of pics first, so you know where everything goes. Hardest part is just getting started. There are a lot of screws. Not sure if you have to replace it just to hear "be careful" when you drop it, but if you need it for speed warnings you may want to. I find the lean back is fine for me. I have no idea if the sound works or not, but I think I disabled it in the app. It rides just fine so far, and its been silent for half a year.

steve454 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The tiltback should be removed. Instead, the pedals should vibrate. I guess Solowheel has the patent on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me feel more at ease. the tilt back is manageable , unlike my ninebot. In time I probably will replace the board just for peace of mind.
