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
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 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.
@@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 UA-cam EUC creators/salesmens. I need a reliable wheel max 30kg. Afraid to buy this one.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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...
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 :(
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.
@@jansvoboda9778 Ok man, thanx. I would like to know what’s your opinion on Nikola plus 1800wh and 2700wh. Do you think they present a risk for fire (I think it still has LG M50T battery)? Nikola is sturdier and better waterproofed than other Begode wheels. So I consider it alongside 16X, for food delivery. I know Sherman Max is the favorite, but for me is to heavy and expensive. The V12 hs/ht I don’t trust, plus is difficult to change the tire or motherboard.
@@danmano478 Nikola is long make model with good weatherproof and is good if you are under 90Kg i expect about special battery size version buy modification with smart BMS and from good company i not recomnded any chinese moder for this. I know obaout one nikola plus 2700Wh moded in austria europe who have fail after 6000Km i not remeber exactly what be casue of fail here is owner chanel ask him directly "isthereanyfood". LGM50T i have in my MSP HT without problems yet over 4000km just not agresively use EUC in low battery state there is risk. I own 16X and is convinience king with only 25kg and EPIC handle but is 40km/h EUC my opinion. Nikola can go 50km/h easy but climbing is tragic and in potholes dangerous becasue motor is speed oriented.(everything is about rider weight always)
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!

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

soldering ??? Narh Is that really neccessary ?

Lol...me cutting pins and not reflowing for years 😅
Your videos are very helpful and informative.
I hope V12ht is better, soldering on a control board is not an option for me.. Hopefully my ht won't need that..

@@danmano478 Thx for the kind words I certainly will review my V12Ht when it arrives. Prob mid july.
@@FinnBjerke OK man. Thank you.
InMotion just needs to hire need Electrical Engineers. They clearly don't have the knowledge to make more advanced wheels at this point.
Agreed
Man this video is so informative. I'm still scared to do this to my own. 😭😭😭
With the failure rate of the new boards I would skip it
@@noelleonard2498 oh no I have the v12. Had it for 6 months and also replaced the motor rim. It's been working fine.
👍👍 - awesome vid. Thanks!

Inmotion had a nice rep, now it's destroyed, the other EUC company's are even worse when it comes to cc.
No excuse for these boards to not come fully assembled with heatsink. Expecting regular people to do this job is totally unacceptable
But are Gotway or Kingsong boards any better?
@@noelleonard2498as I prepare to repair my effectively BRAND NEW board. I totally agree .

Looks not easy to change board, nice video.
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.
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...
I know how feel. So many dam plugs and screws.
Have you come across an imu sensor issue on inmotion v12?
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
All HT InMotion wheels come with the black Boards and Newer Rims

How do you get the rod back in??
Which of the many problems we talking about? 😆

The Sherman is build very simple. I did all the repairs myself. Changing the bearings. Changing the control panel. Changing the motherboard.
Yep, watching this makes me love my Sherman even more
the wires on this machine is insane, too many parts just to disamble and repair something. nightmare if it breaks.
Probably means that the newer updadated versions my have this problem
Now after the controller change, I have a battery overcharge error and the wheel is stuck in the shop for 2+ weeks
v12 is a 16in wheel, better buy is the Nikola Plus AR
or 16x if you are happy with 45km/h but is convinience champion.
@@jansvoboda9778 Why 16X and not 18XL? Any particular reason?
@@danmano478 16 inch is naturaly more torque and 3inch tire compare to 18xl weaker climber and 2,5 inch tire
