In Canada too they’re talking about enforcing the 32kph limit for more than just ebikes. Many escooters already come limited and some companies are even selling escooters that can’t be have their limiter removed or disabled. I’m scared e-sk8 will follow a similar route.

If Canadians were actually serious about saving lives, they would limit cars to 32km/h.

Is there an STL for a nubless or less nubby thumbwheel by any chance?

Did you ask Kamen, he’s pretty good about that kind of stuff.

I snagged this used zmote and am trying to setup the S count setting. Anything you all see I’m doing wrong? I also opened the case and looked over the wiring, all looks good.
You can see it gets into the menu fine and lets me turn the deadman switch on/off but the right side button doesn’t seem to let me change the S count.
@fessyfoo Did you ever have any trouble with it before?
I did get it setup for my S count.
I did have an issue one time i thought it wasn’t picking up the button push. but I was suspecting fitment of the button cap on the button? but then it worked and i couldn’t reproduce it, and I left it thinking maybe I was just confused not hitting the right things at the right time.

Ok that was great information, thank you.
I opened the case again and found that the button worked when the little blue button cover “top hat” was removed and I was pushing directly on the button “post”.
Even when button pcb was away from the housing if the blue top hat was on, the button wouldn’t engage.
I took the smallest scrap of paper and put inside the hat. Put the hat back on the button and it works just fine now.
Wild that’s all it took but we’re in business.

oh. wow. so the button cap was blocking itself? I wonder how the problem went away for me at all.

It’s like the cap wouldn’t tap the post. Only hunch is that it got pushed too hard once time and dented the inside of the cap, who knows. Super strange.
Has anyone gone through binding a regular trigger remote.
I got this one from @andoug , which I believe he got used.
I think it was originally from your shop @tomiboi
Maybe you can point me in the right direction.
I am able to get the receiver into pairing mode.
But not sure about the Remote.
Both buttons do seem to respond.

Have you already watched the video on YouTube that was made about the single trigger remote? I believe he goes over binding there.

I just did.
And I got it to bind
But it’s now doing weird stuff with the trigger calibration…
When I went to map PPM on the VESC app it only saw me pushing the break, not pulling the acceleration.
I much prefer my old simple plug and play Z-motes…
In fact I’m pulling one out and setting this one aside because this is super annoying…

You need to turn off the kill switch. It doesn’t have a physical kill switch, but it’s still in the firmware.

Oh. Funny.
That sounds like it will fix it.
Thanks for the tip.

Do you still have this zmote? Mine was doing the same exact thing. After taking it apart and doing some playing around in VESC tool I found out it was ribbon cable that was causing the issue. Not sure how the cable got damaged/punctured but it is in a weird spot in the remote in that it has to do an almost 90-degree bend over the PCB to reach the other end.
I reached out to kman via email and said that he exclusively uses 8-pin 0.5mm pitch ribbon cables for all zmotes. I ordered a couple of these https://a.co/d/0YLRulh and it fixed the issue.
Hope this helps!

I do still have this Zmote actually. I’ll open it up when I get a chance and take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion

So, I’m not sure what to look for here. I have it apart but nothing appears to be damaged. I also don’t have any ribbon cables on mine that I can see.

Ah dude that’s a bummer. Mine does not have the dead man, other than that they’re identical. Sorry man
