>>1855286>The controller on the E series has a high failure rate for some reason.I am not sure about that. Ninebot and Xiaomi are just common as dirt.
But yes, there were issues with a low-voltage fuse in early board revisions. If you turn on the headlight, screen goes dim and throttle isn't as responsive.
Other thing that seems to burn controllers is regen (which is unfortunately retarded OOTB, where it doesn't let you freewheel and roll, instead it forces you to regen shit)
Oh, and obviously custom firmware.
>. The steering stem tube also can snap clean off near the headset.Yes, but I'd say this is abuse. You're not supposed to apply any pressure to steering. If you can't steer with 1 finger - you're doing something wrong.
What is really weird is that it is not aluminum that breaks. I'd imagine steel machined part to be much stronger than steering stem.
>Hopefully you're fully geared when riding with a full face helmet Well, I don't. But yeah, helmet would be nice, a full-face one, because from my past experience your nose and chin suffers the most. Also gloves.
> if the controller kicks the bucket Nothing would really happen. I am kinda heavy, so chances of flying over steering bars are small. Even if all phases would get shorted (I even tested this as I never felt like there is enough brakes).
Driving on sand is more dangerous than controller cutting off. Today I nearly nose-dived again in exact same place I nose-dived 2-3 years ago on stock ES1. This time no, because SHFW has zero-start.
> or the tube breaks This is the most scary one to be honest.
>. Facebook market here has lots of E series with dead controllers that people are trying to get rid of and there's complaints all over online.Well, I think it is economically viable to get those, even if you won't be repairing controller and will just replace it.
Dunno. I thought I was buying trash, but I got a working scoot with all unnecessary shit already broken for me, so no need to break stuff.
