Lynx Safety Update

[@ShadKS18XL]

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.

[@erider_spider]

Marty is the EUC riding cool uncle I never had 😊

[@Andre-Mostert]

Great that they are continuing to update and fine tune the wheels. Super nice.

[@paulandjacquelyng858]

Nice follow up and quick LeaperKim action to resolve

[@dnthmn117]

Thank you Marty for the feedback you provide to these companies and ensuring everyone's safety!

[@waymorhd]

Thanks for the update. This is the first time hearing about it.

[@zogly9469]

Nice scenery for this video! Glad Leaperkim has addressed the warning system for extremely low battery.

[@revolutionaries-Today]

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.

[@oldretireddude]

Thank you, wow!

[@slidersgliders5516]

The legend of wheels 👍 always keeping it wheel ✌️

[@as4tik]

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.

[@CameronMassie]

Appreciate you Marty!

[@Roskellan]

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.

[@Андрей-й7п2б]

Exactly, should be like an inmotion - lifting up the pedals just untill you stop physicaly

[@MathieuTechMoto]

Thank you for the detailed update 😊

[@wutruriding1355]

Thanks Marty!

[@barlscharkley5411]

As I watched the video I saw you slowly creeping further and further back. Did you end up in the water after the video ended?

[@oueuc2]

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

[@ElectricUnicycles]

LOL

[@juliansdiamonds]

Great info. Thank you !!

[@SpicyFPV]

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]

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 :-)

[@jimmykiang4420]

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 🤔

[@jimmykiang4420]

still thanks for the update!

[@dantemarcos1410]

In Leaperkim safety we trust 😤👍 hopefully no cutouts 🤞

[@TheSkinnyshowATL]

Marty. I truly appreciate you and your knowledge. I am 190lbs and have 10 lbs of backpack. I'm still not sure how fast this thing will go but I'm trying to find a good cruising speed that is safe. I would like to travel roughly 40 miles an hour cruising Is that doable and what has been your experience cuz right now I get about 35 and get nervous

[@ElectricUnicycles]

My comfort zone is 25 - 30 mph and sometimes up to ~35 depending on conditions. I've only ridden ~40-mph a few times. It's not my comfort zone. I would trust your gut instinct. If you're getting nervous at 35-mph, don't push it. Give yourself time. There's no hurry to reach maximum speeds (or at least there shouldn't be 🙂). Certainly I know people who have no problems maintain 40+ mph on the Lynx if that's your main concern. It's you, not the wheel 🙂

[@TheSkinnyshowATL]

@@ElectricUnicycles good insight!!!! Thank you

[@TheSkinnyshowATL]

@@ElectricUnicycles I think I was more concerned about whether or not it could go 40 comfortably meaning what's under the hood. Because if it can do that comfortably then I can as well I just wasn't sure if people were riding or cruising at that speed. I would love to try it because he has speed is my thing but I appreciate you being on the more cautious side

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Oh, sure, the Leaperkim hardware should be confidence building. As long as you pay attention to the beeps (manage your speeds, especially in the bottom 50% of the battery) 40+ mph for extended periods of time is not an issue with our local riders.

[@esk8windsor]

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

[@ElectricUnicycles]

These are EUC's with very large parallel packs 🙂

[@BlackSheriff84]

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%

[@ElectricUnicycles]

87-mph

[@wutruriding1355]

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

[@laurent7335]

Marty, s'il te plait, pour un meilleur cadrage, tu peux te reculer d'un petit mètre ?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

LOL

[@RonnieRides]

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

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thank you!

[@martonhegedus]

What about the too high top voltage Wrong Way Adam pointed out?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I'm not aware of this issue

[@heurekamugond4898]

@@ElectricUnicycles He looked at the smart BMS data in one of his videos and said the voltage for the individual cells at 100% charge is above the healthy limit or something like that. But he may have been mistaken. I'm not an expert.

[@mingz3030]

@@heurekamugond4898 I just noticed same at wrongways video, I also asked one of the Lynx dealer, he said this is normal during charging, because individual cells trying to balance the voltage during charging.(from the screenshot it shows 0.97 A so I guess it’s happens when charging). If not, you have to return the wheel to Leaper Kim for replace battery.

[@boblatkey7160]

Wrong Way is wrong, or he's working with the older batteries. Mine charges up to 4.2v/cell perfectly every time. Watch the app. The charger is perfect.

[@Whizzo333]

Is Lynx carrying any waterproof rating ? Thx

[@ElectricUnicycles]

An actual rating? I don't think so.

[@BigORider]

@@ElectricUnicyclesyes it does standard Test result : IPX6 : IEC 60529:1989+A1:1999+A2:2013 : PASS

[@Whizzo333]

Why don't these euc's freewheel after cut off ? Why is cutoff catastrophic ? Thx

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Everything is much more dangerous with a single wheel LOL. It's the way it is.

[@ziptic]

I'm thinking if they freewheeled, they'd need a separate/additional braking mechanism. 🤷‍♂️

[@brianmccann666]

Question Marty ... 104 volts is roughy what % of the battery ? ?? Volts = 100% ?? Volts = 000%

[@ElectricUnicycles]

104-volts is 0% battery. Now it will be 106-volts

[@alexandrestimaridis7881]

Increase voltage to 0.1 in settings to fix top speed

[@ElectricUnicycles]

???

[@alexandrestimaridis7881]

@@ElectricUnicycles increase voltage by 0.1 in menu. Info from Linnea

​​@@ElectricUnicycles my bad sorry, I thought you said kilometer per hour but it was mph. Some users experienced an issue with freespin cuting out at about 80kmh in high speed mode after update.

[@EUCvibes]

[@patrickmckowen2999]

👍

[@scottharvey9764]

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]

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]

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

[@kyriakos8020]

2.9 is actually a very nice sweetspot between longevity and range

[@Reawer]

"excuse me" xD

[@daley1985]

Early adopters are beta testers .Wait for the second iteration always!

[@boblatkey7160]

Well I have 1150 miles on first iteration and I have had zero issues.

[@ullle66]

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….

[@MrSpeedyduck]

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]

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
