Thanks for explaining. All the blinking LED light issues and charger, bluetooth issues seemed to have been resolved on my last board but I have never had the board more than a few days before it died so who knows what else could have happened.
I remember them bragging about building the motor sensor in the motor but didn't know where they get the motors. They made it sound like they make the motor but they are just adding sensors. Doesn't Metro have a built in sensor?
Where did they cut corners, choosing too few volts or the wire thickness ?
So if they get the motors from china they would have to order different or upgraded motors to resolve this problem? that can take a couple months at least right?
Here is a quick run down of the issues I have had.
#1 had electronics insulation issues ..making contact with the conductive carbon deck force board into safe mode and belt slipping and belt cover rub issues
#2 just shut off after charging and wouldnt turn back on ...stronger belt no more slipping still rubbing but they grinded the cover a bit on the inside to rub less . free shirt.
#3 motor Sensor failed (I think) board would lock in position when I throttle and could only break but no connections lost
#4 motor failed after over working it a little it failed abruptly and locked up and threw me off... went into safe mode and couldn't turn it back on. Later noticed the electronics inside must of come loose and felt it moving around inside the deck. New belt cover on back order.
#5 I was told this board would be temporary but they wanted to send me one for the Broadway Bomb event in NYC this weekend This failed after a two days on a 6 miute ride. Here is the video of how I was riding it right before the motor over heated meted and failed after I stopped at a light.

#6 No explanation given to wether the issues were addressed but hoping it arrives before the race.
So do you guys think they can get the motor right? I guess I should ride it conservatively till I can confirm that motor upgrades have been made. Am I just riding it too hard or did they just over estimate the performance of these motors. I can't imagine changing the voltage would be a quick solution either. How long do you think this board will take to be ready?
