Inmotion V12 Problem Fix. e-Rides EUC Upgrades.

[@Whattanu]

Man I am only a few minutes in and you do so well at stoping to show what needs to be done then fast forward! Perfect!

[@SlowJoe76]

Wow the engineering behind this wheel is Superb. Makes me realize the engineering behind the new and old Begode/ Gotway wheels. I currently own a Mcm5 V2 and a Tesla T3 and I'm not even talking about their new Wheels which don't even have a body, there just batteries a wheel and not so Tastefully good to look at

[@tcorter3031]

I will take my blocky veteran patton where I can do a motor change with a total of 20 screws removed and only half of the wheel disassembled over any onion wheel regardless of looks.

[@laurv8370]

Very nice video. Nitpicking: you may have o re-solder those pins after trimming (i.e. re-melt the tin) to avoid cracks you put in the solder by cutting, and cold-soldering effects due to mechanical stress.

[@FinnBjerke]

soldering ??? Narh Is that really neccessary ?

[@laurv8370]

@@FinnBjerke I work in an electronics factory (designing electronics and writing firmware for the last 30years), where trimming the pins with a pliers or any scissoring device AFTER they went through the reflow oven or selective wave soldering machines, is absolutely forbidden, regardless of the fact that high currents are expected to flow there or not. Cutting the pins creates mechanical stress and cracks in the tin layer sandwiched between the copper layers (pin and the via hole, which are harder, tin in between is softer, like butter in comparison), and at least in theory, decreases the life time of the PCB assembly (PCBA). I don't know how detrimental is that in practice, maybe very less, but we had picky customers in the past who refused PCBAs because pins were trimmed after wave soldering. So, we do it before, and have special tooling and jigs to keep the components in the holes during the waving.

[@Kay0Bot]

Lol...me cutting pins and not reflowing for years 😅

[@ivanmorales3265]

Man, he put it together so fast, I guess that comes with experience lol. I watched all of this and I don't have a v12

[@tcorter3031]

why

[@FinnBjerke]

Your videos are very helpful and informative.

[@FinnBjerke]

I hope V12ht is better, soldering on a control board is not an option for me.. Hopefully my ht won't need that..

[@danmano478]

@@FinnBjerke Could you please, come back or do a video, when you receive the V12HT, telling us if it has this problem, or others? You have credibility, unlike the renowned KZbin EUC creators/salesmens. I need a reliable wheel max 30kg. Afraid to buy this one.

[@FinnBjerke]

@@danmano478 Thx for the kind words I certainly will review my V12Ht when it arrives. Prob mid july.

[@danmano478]

@@FinnBjerke OK man. Thank you.

[@jltplease]

Man this video is so informative. I'm still scared to do this to my own. 😭😭😭

[@noelleonard2498]

With the failure rate of the new boards I would skip it

[@jltplease]

@@noelleonard2498 oh no I have the v12. Had it for 6 months and also replaced the motor rim. It's been working fine.

[@freeforester1717]

Great work, Kevin. Not much of an endorsement of InMotion’s Quality Control though, when the ‘new, improved’ motherboard has to be hand finished by the service people or end user/repairer, ‘proper’ QC would have them shipped from factory all prepared and ready just to replace, without need to trim the soldering joints, surely. A lot of work, with plenty room for issues to arise for the unwary!

[@eucupgrades]

I know paint in the neck for reseller . Just imagine if you have lots of this wheels instock. Also Inmotion has been inform about the long pin on the board. They are still shipping out boards due to not enough to go round.

[@FinnBjerke]

Inmotion had a nice rep, now it's destroyed, the other EUC company's are even worse when it comes to cc.

[@noelleonard2498]

No excuse for these boards to not come fully assembled with heatsink. Expecting regular people to do this job is totally unacceptable

[@martinsaunders2942]

But are Gotway or Kingsong boards any better?

[@Muri_Moto]

​@@noelleonard2498as I prepare to repair my effectively BRAND NEW board. I totally agree .

[@TJagness]

Thank you for your video Uncle. Now I know how to fix my V12 HT. Only thing is, my button to stop the wheel from spinning, so you can take it up stairs etc stopped working. I have to fix that problem because it's a pain to turn my whole wheel off to transport it upstairs with all my deliveries on my back ( I deliver Uber Eats ). Do you know how to fix that spinkill button problem?

[@nomadmusk]

Yikes, it's a nightmare of wires! Makes the s22 and master look way more appealing. I hope you don't have to risk blowing the board when swapping the tire. Thanks for the video tho.

[@FinnBjerke]

If my spanking new inmotion v12 HT(arriving very soon) needs controlboard upgrade, I'll ask retailer to do it. I have upgraded sherman rim and inmotion V11 bearings, I'm sick of fixing and repairing my wheels...

[@eucupgrades]

I know how feel. So many dam plugs and screws.

[@ChrisTorina1]

If you buy a v12 now will it come with the newer control board? And did they make the he version with a stronger rim? Looking to buy one.

[@creakcharlie]

I had my v12 for only a month and have a problem saying the battery is damaged and it may cause issues, the balance is off also when I turn it on. Opened it up to about a quarter in the video to see if it was anything obvious but I don’t know what I’m doing too complicated. Going to close it all back up and have to wait to send it back and get a new one or come back when I am advised with what to do :(

[@creakcharlie]

How do you get the rod back in??

[@curtflirt2]

InMotion just needs to hire need Electrical Engineers. They clearly don't have the knowledge to make more advanced wheels at this point.

[@narrowpath2980]

Agreed

[@paulhack893]

Have you come across an imu sensor issue on inmotion v12?

[@rashie]

👍👍 - awesome vid. Thanks!

[@Ryo-TravelGo]

Looks not easy to change board, nice video.

[@KhairulKlang]

Is there a way to check the new boards by software version? I got Inmotion v12 HT(on display) with chrome rim batch April 2022

[@curtflirt2]

All HT InMotion wheels come with the black Boards and Newer Rims

[@igorgoga7985]

Now after the controller change, I have a battery overcharge error and the wheel is stuck in the shop for 2+ weeks

[@narrowpath2980]

Probably means that the newer updadated versions my have this problem

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

I will never buy an Inmotion wheel. It is just a hassle to work on a V11 and V12. Too many pieces. The Sherman is build very simple. I did all the repairs myself. Changing the bearings. Changing the control panel. Changing the motherboard.

[@Simonisms]

Yep, watching this makes me love my Sherman even more

[@noelleonard2498]

Which of the many problems we talking about? 😆

[@jensenperalta7927]

the wires on this machine is insane, too many parts just to disamble and repair something. nightmare if it breaks.
