16mph Pushback Motor Noise
-
I'm so stoked with my onewheel, just got a question to understand it better.
When i hit pushback at 16mph, anytime i lean forward the motor makes kind of a clunking noise. It's low pitch, almost like clicking. Not sure what it is, but is it normal? The noise is pretty loud, and i can feel it under my feet

A little while ago mine started making noise intermittently under heavy load (acceleration or deceleration). After I had worked on it it seemed to go away. I think the motor just needed to be re-seated.
Next time it starts making noise I'll try loosening all 4 large hex screws around the axle and then re-tightening them.

It's normal

Normal... At 15mph+ you have to be so much smoother with gaining speed and just in general.. remember this is sefl balancing so has to speed up/slow down to correct you.. at slower speed this is less noticeable but it's doing more correcting at higher speeds...
Flow like water my friend ;)

@Zen.Potatoes Ah i see. You gotta make much smaller movements so your motor isn't going ham to keep up.
Thanks!

Ta.... just to say... this is just my theory based on observation, but being smooth def plays a part when trying to gain speed beyond 16+mph.... but this of course wont be the cause of all motor noise/chatter..
