InMotion V8F Disassembly For Repair and Tire Change

[@AD4048-r2v]

Thanks a lot. I was going to disassemble my v8f by myself, because speaker is too quiet even at max volume after a crash, but watched this video and realised its better to leave this to the professionals =D

[@ManuelPinner]

Thank You for this Video, this EUC Tire Change is Easier Then other Wheels,

[@tendervlad]

many thanks for this detailed video, please continue to release new wheels on the market...

[@kamencic]

Man, this wheel is designed exceptionally!

[@robfiery2207]

Great tutorial of the strip down. For tire (tyre) change/repair you don't have to take off the pedals or handle, also the flaps (under the pedals) have a notch to the right hand side to slide the pin into for removal. But I would have struggled to do anything without watching this first.

[@dillonchai4148]

Could you explain where to find the notch? I'm currently struggling with taking out the flap. To me the metal pin looks fused to the end of the plastic casing and it's not moving no matter how hard I try.

[@АлександрВасильев-п8у3о]

There are the notch about 1/2 inch right from once. And also needs to kick in direct of slider. You can use WD-40 then do it easy.

[@dillonchai4148]

@@АлександрВасильев-п8у3о Sorry what do you mean by "once"? Is the notch on the metal pin? Because the metal pin on my flaps are really smooth so it's impossible to get a grip on them to slide them out. I also have a V8S not a V8F if that makes a difference

[@MarcelSamyn]

Some things I found opening my V8S: - You don't need to remove the pedals to open the side covers - To remove the battery housing, in the V8S you need to remove more of the LEDs because the battery case is covered by the pieces left and right that contain the wires going to the lights and speaker. - The white and balance wires between the mainboard and battery pack also have a connector next to the XT60 near the battery. You don't need to open the motherboard cover to remove the batteries. - For the battery, indeed you don't need to remove all the screws. The screws that are very deep are the ones that keep the cover closed, don't remove them just to take out the battery pack (woops)

[@jacobsandees3017]

how would you open the sidecovers

[@MarcelSamyn]

@@jacobsandees3017 even with the pedals on there's enough room to rotate the side covers! Make sure to remove the screws first ;)

[@dillonchai4148]

Hey Marcel, I also have a V8S and was wondering how you remove the small flaps on the bottom of the shell? I tried applying upward and outward pressure as highlighted in this video but my flaps aren't budging, and I'm not seeing any notches or indents that other people have described. Have you had better luck? I'm stuck with a flat tire atm and I'm losing my mind lol

[@redhat421]

Nice! This is a very through tear down. Thanks for the early look at this new wheel!

[@GreenMasterMike]

Awesome video thank you for your contribution to the community on showing people how to do something like this more people need to do this I will be doing it soon And thanks again guys

[@gstbad]

Thanks from France for all this work, good job!

[@jeffweaver4593]

Excellent Video!! Much appreciate your approach, video quality, and methodically provided info and instruction. Hopefully the manufacturers are connected with you and compensating you in some way as this makes me want to keep purchasing these for my son and maybe me one day!

[@60viking]

Hey thanks and this is so timely. I am updating from a slow wheel that ive had since i was 73. The V8 or v10 seemed right then those with the F made sense. I'm going to get something so i can cruise around 15 mph and smoother then my 14in wheel to. Thanks glide on. PS. now months later it surprised me how much smother and controllable i is over my Beginner Swagroller wheel. For me v8f is perfect.

[@4406bbldb]

It’s me again now it’s two years later and I’ve got 2000 miles on my V-8 FN I’m putting a snow tires on it right this minute and was happy that I could find your videos just to make sure I’m in in the right zone here thanks. Wish I could find of More knobie style tire but I can’t. Mich has snow cal. Has sand.🤷🏼‍♂️

[@crockodillopig]

Thanks - this helped me change the motor in my V8F!

[@Mgapcdev]

Just for anyone wondering, you can skip the step of removing the foot pedals. You can still get the shell off and on. (I needed to tighten the wheel axel screw).

[@rcgldr]

The brackets supporting the pedals have since been angled up a bit, raising the pedals enough to clear those screws, so the pedals no longer have to be removed.

[@itsdjQuasar]

May I ask why you needed to tighten the wheel axel screw? I'm having an issue where my V8F vibrates sometimes and I've heard that it might be a loose axel screw. Also, what tool did you use? Thanks.

[@hieplogfr93]

You video is awesome. Thanks for make it. I wonder if you have made a clip how to disassemble also the V8S? Thanks in advance

[@dmgladden]

Hi, first great video and you make it a very simple process for us to follow, as it's clear you have s deep understanding of this wheel, I ask your advice, I want to fit a USB charging cable for a phone do you have any suggestions on how to connect this to the wheel. Thanks David

[@Phonoman]

For the valve covers I almost lost my mind trying to remove them this way. The metal rod can be pushed to the right (there's an indent that allows it) with your nail easily to remove it the correct way without trying to break it off. Possibly a thing for a bit newer models, but still a thing to note.

[@EliteFetishist]

Thank you so much, it really helped me i was stuck at this part. Your method seems to be how it is supposed to be done

[@felixfranz2799]

Wow thanks for that awesome tip. Video was great but he missed that part.

[@Spark3rz]

Same, I sliced open one of my fingers trying to open it by force. I realized it could be pushed when putting it back together.

[@WiIIyJ]

I don't see how to get a hold on the rod with my nail, is there some trick to this? I'm thinking of picking up a small pair of pliers...

[@WiIIyJ]

If you mean there's supposed to be an indent on the rod, I don't see one on mine :(

[@fredmotz7095]

thanks

[@sid240179]

Great video. Thanks a lot.

[@bobdebouwer7835]

Any info on how to change the wheel bearings?

[@powerdon69]

Merci ! Ça m'a permis de replacer le caoutchouc blanc qui avait été mal replacé par l'ancien proprio.

[@swanyvill]

are there any protection accessories for the v8f? haven't really found any source, or just not looking in correct area.

[@leetNightshade]

I'm trying to replace my trolley handle and it's now stuck down. But you said it needs to pop up to remove the side panel... FUDGE. 😮‍💨

[@macdemarco1476]

Do u kno by change if the v8s would be the same steps to follow to change the tire or to work on thanks for the content

[@EUCOllective]

It all should be the same steps as the v8f. Only difference between the two are the batteries.

[@kaisasuki1501]

What if the trolly handle is jammed?

[@60viking]

I recieved my v8f last week and its a awesome upgrade and the peddles are terrific/grippy. I just can't get all of the App to work, update patch won't, load up or something like that.

[@4406bbldb]

Still can’t use the app now that I have a apple phone.

[@alex-eucmad.7133]

Could you tell us if V8F battery can be used in a standard V8 wheel? Thank you in advance

[@oleg_artene]

I'm interested if V8 battery can be used in V8F

[@julsride3596]

So what if the handle wont open up?? Wich is why i want to open the wheel

[@LukePighetti]

The flap pin has a groove on it that allows you to push the pin with a flat blades screwdriver which makes them very easy to remove. Tough if you skip that step.

[@dillonchai4148]

Could you explain where to find the notch? I'm currently struggling with taking out the flap. To me the metal pin looks fused to the end of the plastic casing and it's not moving no matter how hard I try.

[@rcgldr]

The brackets supporting the pedals have been angled up a bit since this video was made, and|or the shell screw holes were lowered, so the pedals no longer have to be removed.

[@MikhailKolesnikov]

Is it possible to fit V8F with 2.5 tire?

[@doublebs82]

I just bought V8F I crashed and broke the main handle, not the retractable one. Does anybody know a website where I can buy a new shell? I looked at there website but couldn't find replacement parts

[@orna1377]

Sir I got crash an the one of silver fiber thin in black wire cable battery is separate is that danger sir for ride? I do diagnose on inmotion app is still good condition, what should I do sir, please reply im really scare is that safe to ride or not?

[@60viking]

I love my V8f but i can't get the App to work on Some features. Ideas? I tried to reload it and now it doesn't work at all. I my 74 year old brain is messing something up and the software is fine. Ps. It still runs fine.

[@ssjinzo]

How do you remove 3 phase wires from the board mine seem like they are soldered on my v8?

[@Cons2911]

So for tires, are they special for euc meaning their size is hard to find

[@EUCOllective]

For tires, as long as the size is the same as the stock tire it should be fine. It's recommended to find some groups or forums to see what everyone else uses for whatever wheel you are buying the tire for.

[@jihanqsw]

Can you use the speakers for music on the V8F?

[@EUCOllective]

The_Real_GizmoDuck that’s actually one of the few features that wasn’t carried over from V10. V8F has speakers, but like V8, they are just used for system events- not music streaming. You can record your own sounds for those system events though!

[@jihanqsw]

@@EUCOllective Well in any case the V8F still sounds like a pretty solid wheel as far the performance goes. I for one can't wait to test it out!

[@superdhetz]

are spare part for v8f already available in market ? and can we use V8f new side cover with padded and new pedal on previous V8 ?

[@alex-eucmad.7133]

superdhetz pedals fit on a standar V8, as well as V10/10F pedals 👌🏼

[@albertonobile-k3e]

Sorry, i have a problem: Ive buy and inmotion V8F used, but now I Need to do the reset because i cannot use all the function with the application. Someone can help me please?

[@MojoMicah]

Well that's unfortunate. Got into a crash and the handle broke along with the button coming out. I thought I could just buy a replacement handle, but it seems that the handle and shell is all one part. Guess it'd be safer to send it in for repairs than to do it myself

[@lawsonhui3804]

What wires should I check if the lights and sound is t working

[@lawsonhui3804]

Is not*

[@EUCOllective]

Hi! Please get in touch with us at [e-mail] for technical assistance.

[@rcgldr]

I bought a V8F from EUCO back late July 2020. When charging, it usually took about 2 seconds or so after connecting to the charger before it would beep and turn on the blue bars. Recently it sometimes takes from 5 to 25 seconds before it beeps and turns on the blue lights, while other times it only takes 2 seconds. The charger light goes red as soon as I connect it to my V8F, so i don't think that is the problem. Once it does beep, it seems to charge normally and I can use Inmotion App or EUC World app to monitor the charge. When going for a ride, it powers on in less than a second, and it rides OK. I live in Orange County California, so the weather is not that cold when I ride. I keep my V8F indoors where the temperature is about 72 degrees. Should I be concerned about the time it sometimes takes to respond to being connected to the charger?

[@luwn00bz]

Did you ever find any solution to this? This started happening on me also recently

[@rcgldr]

@@luwn00bz - no, and it got worse, now taking up to 4 minutes or so to wake up. Once it has woken up, I can stop and start charging again, and it will wake up quickly, so it's something to due with charge circuitry. Also another issue. If I leave the V8F stored for 3 or 4 days, the initial resistance is higher, charge voltage versus pack voltage is about 1 volt or so higher than normal. If I charge, do a short ride, and charge again, the resistance returns to normal so another charge circuitry issue.

[@luwn00bz]

@@rcgldr Interesting. I have the same issue with the beep and lights. I think it started after riding in rain but not sure. I've ridden daily for 2 months and +1000km since with no other issue but the beep delay every time. My end voltage reads 83,4V in the app always.

[@rcgldr]

@@luwn00bz - I don't ride much, about 80 km per month, since August 2021. About 2100 km on my V8F now. I don't know if time is a factor. My peak pack voltage is about 0.1 volts less than new, probably due to some imbalance in the pack.

[@luwn00bz]

@@rcgldr Maybe it's just something to do with loading the sound file. I did tamper with custom sounds.

[@victorcasimiro8017]

My v8 said repair... and keeps trembling everything I turned it on! Help!

[@claudiablasi9480]

Hi, can you please tell me What would be the correct psi for InmVf8 for a person that weight 146lbs? Someone said 40 but I think is too much and makes the wheel harder to drive

[@jamesrenaud592]

I have a V8 (still) and try to use around 35 psi for my tire. My weight is similar.

[@oleg_artene]

Why haven't you disassembly the motor?

[@oleg_artene]

Once I needed to change the bearings and a video from a russian guy helped me to understand how to do it properly. But I did it differently - I opened both covers one by one and left the stator inside. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6m6lWWepa9rZrs

[@F4BON3]

pls somebody help. i got my inmotion v8f for only 2 weeks now, when I was learning I fell a couple of times (nothing serious I thought) , i was very happy when I realized the rim was bent so the tire was not 100% holding in the rim...I tried to straighten but it just broke.:( :( and of course i don't want to replace the entire motor since mine is new. please help, what can I do? thank you so much in advanve

[@EUCOllective]

Before riding did you check the tire pressure? We always recommend at least 35psi on the V8F, and 40psi or 45psi for best rim safety if you're OK with that pressure. It's possible to get parts and replace just the rim yourself with the help of a few how to videos, but you're uncomfortable opening the motor then the only option is replacing the motor.

[@F4BON3]

@@EUCOllective I'm very comfortable opening the motor, but it seems that they don't sell that specific part alone, at least I haven't found it.... so far I am using epoxy metal/concrete weld glue, hope that gives me some extra time of mildly riding while I fully fix it, since I am new at riding it should be ok for now.... thank you for your prompt reply and good video

[@RywokastDarkstar5000]

oh my god..... all they had to do was move those two screws holding the outer shell from rotating up or down a tiny bit then you could easily remove the shell without the huge pain in the ass that is taking off the pedals... WHY WHY WHY do they love to make it so complicated to change the tube lmao

[@rcgldr]

The bracket supporting the pedals was later angled up a bit, raising the pedals enough to clear those screws, so the pedals no longer have to be removed.

[@CatboyPrincess]

This video makes me angry. Taking off the pedals is not necessary if you only want to pull off the casing to access the motor and wheel for tire and inner tube work. The valve access panels near the pedals are also much harder to take off than the video suggests. I had to flex the housing quite a bit and ended up using needle-nosed pliers to take off the panel rod.

[@erikchong5069]

Does Inmotion manufacture poor quality products ? I bought a V8F 4 months ago. I rode it normally and even didn't jump kerbs. Then one day after pulling it down a kerb for a while, it shook strongly and the wheel was locked. This happened again next time and it said PLEASE REPAIR. I checked with the app and it displayed "mechanical failure". Why is it so easily malfunctioned ? Finally I have to pay an extra cost for the repair.

[@maxwellmark]

Erik, who did you buy it from? It should be under warranty…. The unit is really very reliable and not many issues with this model however, things do happen. I had a control board MOSFET go bad without any observable reason. eWheels repaired it for me no problem, EUCO would do the same thing, check with your dealer.

[@erikchong5069]

@@maxwellmark I gave to the dealer to repair. They said the wheel was repaired and informed me to get it back. I checked and tested on spot but it still trembled. They said need to repair again. What a bad dealer.
