I found out the hard way I didn’t know how to stop quickly when a car turned fast on to a drive right in front of me without indicating. Falling flat on my backside certainly stopped me quick enough and my leash prevented the wheel hitting the car with possibly awkward insurance issues afterwards! BTW your route around Cissbury Ring brought back memories, my parents retired (as one does) to Vale Walk, just across the A24 and I flew from Shoreham for many years. It is a lovely area. I did a ride half way to Chanctonbury Ring today. When I’m braver I will go all the way lol. I also plan to drive to Cissbury and ride to the top and do the big loop soon ?

wehey Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 It's really strange. The lights eventually went back to green so I took it out for a ride. I did about 10k and noticed that the lights had gone like this and the other side similar but other colours. i went back to the car and drive home. When I got the wheel out of the car they were all back to green again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 6 hours ago, wehey said: Would anyone know why these blue and orange lights are permanently on?? An intermittent break anywhere in the LED strip can affect the messaging protocol that's used to address the individual LEDs (controlling whether they are on and what color to display), resulting in your symptoms. It has nothing to do with your control board. You can swap the LED strip from the other side of the wheel. If the problem moves to the other side then you've confirmed it's the LED strip and not the wiring harness from the LED strip to the control board.

wehey Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thanks Marty. the problem is on both sides. Can I swap the LED's front to back? I guess it won't effect the way the wheel rides? Its really strange. I have been riding round the garden all afternoon and it's been fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Ask your dealer. A small defect on a new product with this price is still not acceptable. They'll just send you some new strips and you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That points towards the wiring hardness or control board connector. Of course it could be the control board, but I think that's the least likely scenario. The only way to know will be to open the wheel and exploring/experimenting. Bad headlights, LED's, speakers, etc. will have no affect on the wheel operation or safety. I haven't had any LED problems on my KingSong wheels, but a couple Gotway wheels have some intermittent problems. Since the LEDs on the KS wheels are much more prominent, I would try and get to the bottom of it unless you ride with the dancing lights turned off, in which case you probably don't care.

wehey Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I don't have the dancing lights on!!! ive been in touch with the guy I bought it off and he is speaking to the supplier to see what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attributed it to a loose/broken cable connector, because it went away after I had fixed the connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad0z Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 well. I can also say.. I have led issues. I think i swapped two connectors... Because when i turn it on.. The led ring light is off and the battery is showing and the brake light... The second mode the ring ligh is showing but no brake light and the battery is still showing hard to explain... the ringlight also moves slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any vibrations? it could be the tire rubbing against the shell. But at that speed it sounds like the motor. does it get louder when you brake/accelerate faster. Or is it about the same? And does it happen in other scenarios.. mine does something like that but much lower and that is normal with the motor but this does not sound normal... and does it still happen when you lift the wheel and let it spin freely? hooe you get it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only happens when accelerating or decelerating hard. All other times it's fine. I have a feeling it will be going back for a replacement. It's only 1 week old!

On hard accellerations/braking the Motor is working hard and giving some vibrations. This here sounds like this vibrations are transfered to a plastic part, that then makes this Sound. And when i then see how your wheel Looks after one week, this makes sense to me :-) Just try to replicate the Sound by pushing by Hand and try to clamp the Shell on different parts to find out where the vibrating Comes from.
