Thank you Marty for not just letting it go, it is perfect that someone like you addressed those kinds of things to the manufacturer, as you are not some random guy, so they care... Potentially you saved lives.

The wheel should never turn off as long as you are moving. Only if the wheel isn't in motion should extreme low battery turn the wheel off.

Nice update whew Lucky Veteran has that rapid warning before vcut off.. Leaper kim is the best in the business... they address these thing fast ... I love my Lynx .. I just think Lynx is going to be wheel of the yr simply because of the suspension , quality and WEiGHT ... they hit the trifecta on the EUC for me.

After hearing you say it out loud, I'm guessing continuous ladder mode is probably a translation of Stairs. So it can go up and down stairs smoother maybe. It did get carried away on stairs sometimes, lol

One more safaty issue on my sample. Once tge light is on, tge wheel start tilt back the foot plates from time ti time. Right after full stop the tilt become decreasing to 0 degree. Same issue happence to the friend of mine. On the doad it may happance at any time. And repeated multiple times. No solution is found yet, except to use external light.

I checked my Lynx top speed before and after firmware update and it did not change, mine cuts off right about 85.4 mph.

@SpicyFPV Ай бұрын

I just got my Lynx a couple of weeks ago and it came with 5.0.08 on it. The Leaperkim app claims there is an update available, and its that 5.0.07 you reference in this video. I guess the question is whether or not 5.0.08 is actually an even newer firmware than what you mention here, or if they just kind of screwed up the number sequencing and 5.0.07 is newer than 5.0.08...

@ElectricUnicycles Ай бұрын

It's been awhile. 5.0.08 is newer. Feel free to update. TBH, I don't always maintain the latest firmware in my wheels because, if it isn't broken don't fix it, is my motto :-)

@BlackSheriff84 4 ай бұрын

Hey Marty what did the top speed read on the Leaperkim app? Asking as i did the free spin test and on screen my wheel got to 139km/h (86.3mph) however checking the apps max speed record that reads 133.5km/h (82.9mph). Battery was at 88%

@jimmykiang4420 4 ай бұрын

The question of why the euc would not beep with low battery + tiltBack as first warning for a longer period of time still remains as that is expected programmed logic in the controller regardless of any malfunctioning charger 🤔

Did Leaperkim said anything about updating their chargers, so this problem of them chargers not charging won't ever happen again? Some people doesn't have the freedom of having extra EUC chargers laying around, esp. when this is their first wheel.

@ElectricUnicycles 4 ай бұрын

No, they won't update the chargers. It's nice if you can have a fast charger too so it can also act as a backup if needed

@esk8windsor 4 ай бұрын

They allowed the cells to drop to 2.9V 😬? The hard cuttoff for my esk8 builts is set at 3.3V, with a soft cutoff at 3.6V

Seems like you are missing two screws on your front handles! Just above the fender. My guess is ladder riding they mean the tiltback.

2.9V is per cell is way too low / most e-boards / e-bikes go maybe 3.3V or 3.2V at the lowest. If dropping the cell limit that low is how they are upping there range thats nuts. I would rather loose a bit of range with a higher/ safer cut off also its better for the batteries lifespan. At a push if they want to increase the range in that stupid way then tilt back and speed limiting at 3.2V per cell

@ElectricUnicycles 4 ай бұрын

It's not way too low for EUC's. This is nothing new and we certainly go to 3.1-volts on all EUC's.

@RonnieRides 4 ай бұрын

That is only with low voltage mode enabled, not supposed to be used frequently just as a last resort.

2.9 is actually a very nice sweetspot between longevity and range

@ullle66 4 ай бұрын

Honestly: As these cells withstand 2.5 Volts withouts any problems ….its pretty embarrasssing to shut off at 2.85Volts. Even with beeps and 10 seconds titlback. Just my opinion, and: With that i absolutely do NOT mean it should DRIVE since it reaches 2.5 Volts. But as agressive accelaration on a empty Battery, lets say 3.1 or even 3.3 Volts, can EASY drop/sag under 2.85V easily, thats still a pretty HIGH BMS shutOff. KS, Begode etc dont shut off their wheels before 2.5V on a cell….
