@MDMason wait a couple hours for it to come back to room temp and try again. If still not working then you should test the footpad sensors. You can do that by watching the foot/board animation on the main screen of the app, while gently pushing on each side of the sensor footpad.

I think some of us may have a hunger for speed that can’t be satisfied by just one wheel...

And the best way to get there might look kinda like this https://www.lacroixboards.com/product-page/dss60

@Serenegecko ouch I’m sorry to hear that, get well!

@zapp I don't think overcurrent shutdown is common - and to be clear what I was describing "overcurrent" can happen no mattery what % your battery has remaining. It is different from "full battery shutdown" or pushback.

But to your question, going downhill can only regenerate, best case, maybe 10-15% of the power expended going up the same hill. If you live on a hill you can solve this by backtracking a little, it really doesn't take much. I live on a moderate hill and I never get the full battery pushback, my driveway has a short steep incline that helps me shave some voltage off before I go down the block and begin my descent.

I assume the board was still on, after your rapid unplanned dismount?

This has happened to me a couple times when I hit a bump, rode on my heels too hard, and lost contact with the foot sensors for too long. The wheel has moderate resistance when the board is powered on but disengaged, that's why it feels like it goes from spinning freely to "lock up". Its actually a feature to prevent runaway boards.

In rare cases you may have a foot sensor that is faulty. Test them: turn on the board and while it is at rest, watch the app while you gently press each side of the sensor footpad. The app should clearly show foot/heel contact in the little board animation on the main screen.

@helmut002 There's nothing wrong with your board. Mine has done the same since day 1. They try to measure % capacity using voltage which is notoriously dicey. It is often mildly inaccurate, and sometimes persistently, wildly inaccurate. Try paying attention to "% Usage" in the lower right part of the main app screen instead. This measures amp-hours as power is consumed and thus is more accurate at estimating how much power you've used. It is offset by "% Regen" (also a measure of amp hours, the inverse direction) which you can subtract to give a picture of total remaining capacity. The only drawback is these values are reset whenever you disconnect or power down.

Because of all this, the best way to be absolutely sure your battery has something comparable to "factory-new capacity" is run it to low battery pushback, note the trip mileage & compare your weight, terrain, and tire PSI against others vs what mileage people are getting. Typically most of us get at least 15 miles out of the XR, many get significantly more on flat pavement.

Pad up people. Without a nosedive warning this is your best bet.

I recently had my first overcurrent shutdown while navigating tree roots on a downhill trail. That is essentially an instantaneous condition - there is no way for the board to pre-warn because when too may amps of regen power hit, the board has to shut down to protect the batteries.

I didn't actually fall down but with pads everywhere I would have been good to go. No software testing required to verify pads are great: they can be the difference between just getting right back up and going to the hospital.

It's very consistent, I've only ever had a nosedive when the following are true:
A. Board set to "mission" riding mode
B. I was not fully paying attention and hit a big bump (usually on a slight incline)

getting really nerdy, each individual click of the 'creaking' you hear at low speed is one transition of the stator's poles' between fixed magnets. Just like an engine idling super low (imagine a motorcycle) you can hear the individual pops, but when you increase the RPMs they smooth out.

100% normal chatter. It never changes, it is intrinsic to the motor design. All Brushless DC motors chatter and depending on conditions it can sound odd or get loud.
