Ive literally had this same thing happen to me with my GT. I updated my board to the latest firmware (like an idiot) and picked the board up and engaged the motor with my hands forward then backwards. Then my motor came to a stop and there was no signs of life after that. Ive left it plugged into the charger for days with no response from the app. No error codes or nothing. The board doesn't even show up also no power to the board. I took the board completely apart insuring not to remove the BMS cable for the controller and inspected the inside of the controller box. As I push the power button you can hear a tiny faint beep from the controller but nothing happens after that. I really miss riding this damn board. Ive been borrowing my buddies XR to scratch my itch in while I wait for some solid answers because FM just wants me to send it in and it's out of warranty so screw that.

@lemur amazing!! Thank you!!

@weno66 I had a diagram somewhere, I'll try to find it.

@lia Thank you!

I have to add another vote for the Enduro from TFL for the pint the pint enduro is a really nice replacement I had it when I had my pint X and I really loved it.

@notsure said in Cast 5" MTE hub now available from TFL..:

Cuz Jeff proclaims "Only for GT!" in the video

Yeah, pretty sure he means the GT platform in general, cuz they have the N52 magnets to pretty much match the GTS original hub.

Here's from the product page on TFL:

For GTS riders:
We recommend the N52 which is nearly identical to the stock GTS hub performance. The N48 or N42 will also work but you'll lose 5-10% torque with the benefit being an even higher top speed if that's what you're looking for.

And . . . they're sold out! :D

The last 4 months have been a blast, and I crossed the 1,000 mile mark today! I'm still tweaking my config and dealing with overheating when the temperature goes over 90°F and I am pushing the board hard on uphill trails. I've lowered my motor current, my ATR boost, removed my Float Life Savers, installed PubHubs, and removed parts of my rail guards. I'm almost there, afraid I will have to remove the rest of my rail guards.

On a non-heat related note, I really just didn't like the Halo footpads. I'm now using Kush Hi on both front and back and I'm loving that.

Planning on picking this up again as I want to make a better XR but while doing a bit of casual research for another project I found I'm not the only one that managed to clone this PCB.

Take a look at the one on the left and then compare it to the pic of an XR controller on the right.

Bear in mind the current sensing chips beside the motor connector are actually also the same as on the V1/Plus. Everything is the same, down to some of the silk screening.

So what is it? It appears to be a controller for an EUC back from 2016. I found the image on a forum (linky). Image courtesy of esaj.

I did a bit of digging and traced the company called HopeMotion whose website no longer exists but archive.org got a few links saved. https://web.archive.org/web/20160308233001/http://hopemotion.com/

The company states in 2013 it "is mainly engaged in the development and industrialization of high-efficiency and energy-saving motors, drivers, and controllers for electric vehicles. The company has a group of high-quality R&D and management teams".
I assume FM either worked with them or had them manufacture their initial runs in which the PCB design got yoinked. The only information regarding the cloned PCB starts in 2016 which is well after the kickstarter for the Onewheel completed and a year before the Plus.

Anyone know more about this? Maybe worth it's own topic if there's more to this.

I did initially assume this may have been related to the CES incident back in early 2016 but I couldn't find a connection.

Anyway in other news I've managed to get my hands on a 4212 PCB (for a repair I'll post about another day) so I can work on redoing the design on a more modern layout minus the stuff that bricks modding.

This redesign was more sensibly designed with no need for the large power wires jumping the PCB. Also the motor and footpad sensor connectors got a well needed reinforcement.

A bunch of 14's (difficult to go that slow):

@lemur the last I heard the BMS may be charge only, but I'll just be glad if it doesn't power down at 20mph again, spraying me across the tarmac like a jam donut.

@loaffette said in ONEWHEEL S-SERIES RALLY BOARD:

@sirgu yeah. 450 to get rails put on and releveled is a slap in the face. Not a huge one, but still a slap

Or perhaps a temporary measure until they can sell leveling kits?? maybe that's wishful thinking... it's a potential revenue stream. i get it. I understand the rationale too.

That said - I hoped they learned a lesson about working with small niche consumer markets. Shit went sideways real quick last time huh?! lol...

We tend to live and die by our markets, not the other way around...

@hanahsdax -- Without the sharp edges!

@lia I'm not sure what the op did, something reversed or wired wrong.

@lia said in I got to visit Onewheel HQ 🥰:

They initially said it was a Pint hub till I said “it looks like a GT hub unless you guys have something coming soon we don’t know about”.

haha, good catch! a tanky little Pint would be fantastic!

@loaffette NP.
Go for it.

@edgeaholic said in onewheel pint flashing red light because i upgrade it with a chi battery how can i downgrade or fix:

how can i downgrade or fix

count the flashes, google that error code number, and that will tell you roughly how boned you are.

@notsure It is a very nice upgrade. I already built an 18s VESC myself, so the GT was feeling blah. I was getting used to the VESC algorithm, and little things about the FM algorithm that didn't used to bother me started to. So, I installed it, and that brought new life into my GT for me. I'm very happy with my choice.
