Hey Marty--I successfully replaced my MTen3 motor! It was actually easier to do than I thought. I was hesitant at the start, not wanting to create more damage during opening but once I got in there, it was actually not that difficult. Your video was helpful to remind me how things went back in upon re-assembly, although I took a few creative licenses in where I placed the wires. My axle broke at 544 miles and now I have a new motor. Cheers! :)
Glad your operation was successful. The MTen3, as wheels go, is easy to work on. Putting the tire on the rim is probably the hardest operation. Unfortunately, being such a small wheel, it has the old school small axle so it's probably easier to break the axle, but I image you were doing some rough stuff with it to cause it to break???
@@ElectricUnicycles Yes, I was hopping up a little step / ledge downtown and riding off it. Not terribly steep but I've never taken it off a curb more than 4" and I haven't done a terrible number of jumps on it. Staying grounded from now on!
Thanks for sharing, this was great. I have a nearly new MTen3 just like yours. It's already been back for repair. From the first time I powered it I found the fan noise disturbing-- how does that work? Is there an air filter? Where does the air come from? Where does it go? Does it suck dust in? My fans rattle sometimes, can a dead fan leave me stranded? So I loved seeing how and where dirt enters and deposits, and what's going on with the layout of the fans (although the active heat dissipation system still doesn't look any more effective to me than a heat sink integrated with the case). I've been riding EUC less than a year but already have learned to be wary of cut-outs!
Depending on how you use it the wheel certainly could overheat if the fan(s) fail. Most Gotway wheels now use fans, and you are correct when you wonder where the air is coming from. They just circulate the air that's in the wheel and let "fresh" air get in via an cracks/joints in the shell. It's a crappy cooling design to be honest, but that's what they do. In general, the fans seem reliable and failures aren't very common from my experience. BTW, if the wheel overheats it will simply beep and tilt-back, forcing you off the wheel. You wait a few minutes and then you can continue on your way. You can monitor the temperature with the Begode app or EUC World or Darkenessbot. The wheel overheats at 79-degrees Celsius. Check out my Mten3 Playlist for all my associated videos :-)
1st thank you for all your time and effort in making these videos! VERY HELPFUL! You should be getting wheels for free at this point. 2nd I recently purchased Mten3 the largest model and mine seems to have a manual calibration feature. when I turn it off the calibration is erased, so right before I turn it on I need to hold it at the tilt I want to ride then turn it on and it keeps that angle till I turn it off. Is this normal? I've tried to research it but I haven't found any info. Jason is looking into it but I thought I'd ask another EUC professional.
Hi. Thanks for the nice note and congrat's on getting the Mten3. Your calibration issue is absolutely not normal. In all my years I've actually never heard of this issue occurring on any wheel. This makes me think that there's a problem with the Flash Memory. Do your other settings go away too? Switch the pedal mode, turn off and on the wheel, and see if the pedal mode also reverts. If it does, that confirms the problem is with the Flash Memory.
@@ElectricUnicycles using EUC WORLD app, it keeps my selected ride mode. Someone suggested I do a manual calibration again, I did but the issue remains. Hmmmm🤔🤔 what to do, what to do 🧐🧐
I had a brand new Inmotion V10F fail in a similarly mysterious way - it tipped over at walking speed on the third trip I took with it and was stone dead from that moment on. Couldnt switch it on anymore, nothing obvious wrong when I disassembled it and looked at the electronics. I unplugged the battery too for a hard reset but that didnt do anything either. I wasnt too unhappy because it had been a discounted wheel and the warranty card showed why: it was nearly a year and a half old when I bought it. That wasnt worth 70€ off to me! Thankfully I could send it back and got all my money back but it still cost me seven weeks of riding time with great weather until I got my new wheel.
Ah damn I was waiting for the "it's not a mosfet, it's something simple!" moment. Yea they sure looked fine, I never saw one that was blown that did not have an obvious sign externally. Also I thought on other Gotway wheels when a mosfet blows the wheel still turned on but wouldn't balance/move?
From the Forum, it appears that there are other possible failure mechanisms, like the DC Converter module. Since my wheel still freely turns, it probably isn't a MOSFET. Just stay away from turnstiles are you'll be fine ;-)
Reminds of those Msuper V3 failures early when the one guy got caught in soft sand for a second and it blew the wheel. Same with Ian, however I think in both of those examples the mosfets did actually blow. Whatever the cause, I hope you get it back on the road asap.
if you suspect that something burnt out on your main-board then you should look around the board for scorch marks and if you don't see any sniff around the board and hub motor for burnt odor because some electronic board have protection circuit that shuts down if it gets to hot. you can separate the hub motor, fans, battery and main-board and then power up each one to see if they still work using power supply or extra known good battery.
It's all fixed. See the follow-on video if you want to see how I fixed it. czcams.com/video/kDpeAhU92fM/video.html and czcams.com/video/Boe7TL8CV6A/video.html
Im thinking about buying a gotway MCM v4 but I was told that you can't upgrade from 340Wh to 680Wh. if gotway made up-gradable electric unicycles and start off from low cost stock models, with starting price at $300-$500 before upgrades gotway would do fine. They got 3000-5000 watt hub motors for bikes that do 72-110 km/h. imagine putting a 5000 watt hub motor on a electric unicycle.
-They should not manufacture things like that. That should be only for business question and sell spare part. -From my experience with Drone, it should be like that: -The PDB (power distribution) us separated to the controller board are all with STM32F3 or F4 chip and F1 is no longer used (how Msuper S3 + 1600 is F1 😱, how can it be?) The difference in frequency between F1 and F4 is huge but the difference price is ridiculous, in the drone to be F3 or F4 allows us better update frequency for the PID and protocol Dshot👍😊 between controller and motor drive ESC (the outdated pwm 👎 is no longer used in drones.) Another interesting thing separates, is to be able to place antivibration on the controller board, that makes it much easier for PID calculations and unnecessary warming 🔥 of the ESC drive, and I think it is at the moment a business design for selling spare parts. ...for when a Betaflight style software for our wheels?...🤔 Thanks for your videos always nice to watch.

Burial with closest friends? I hear the sorrow in Your voice 😁 Electric recycling, asking them to empty container pre burial to have a worthy burial ;)
Hey Marty and fellas. Have you tried to fit a freespin kill button on these earlier Mten3? It seems like they might (like the msx) have a header on the board ready for a button to be connected.
I have not. The newer Mten3's have a kill switch so I would guess that the older Mten3's do not have hardware support otherwise they would have included the button.
@@ElectricUnicyclesThanks! I know that's the case on my Tesla v1, but on the Msx it isn't. The header is there. I'm just curious of which case it is for the Mten3. Happy riding! Statistically you can't injure yourself again within the next 10 years.
Thanks for this very helpful video. My mten3 died today. Something has loosen in the axes area. No it beebs 2x in half second. I must disassemble i see what's going on
That beep codes means that there's a failure with the Hall Sensor. Either the connector to the control board has come lose, one or more wire broke in the axle area, or a failure inside the motor.
@@ElectricUnicycles i jumped from high curb today. Now I can clearly see one side of the axles is broken and the motor wires are damaged. A screw like axle is welded on a shot bigger axle in the middle of the motor. Its broken on that welded position. The bad thing is ... it can easily happen again if I buy a new wheel
Bummer Marty! Since there is no visibly blown mosfets, I wonder about an overload circuit? Maybe try powering back up since the battery has been disconnected? Other than that, a voltage reading on the pins may reveal a bad one.
Thanks. Gotway wheels don't have an overload circuit. I was just curious to see a blown MOSFET, but I don't care enough to diagnose it further (not enough hours in the day as it is). Jason (EWheels) is getting me a new board.
Marty I know Gotway HASNT had circuit protection, but the m10 is new, and even I keep hoping they will up their game. What happened to your m10 is exactly what happened with my MSuper v3.
I know. I actually thought of you when going through this. I think it's a little bit of bad luck in how the wheel interacts with an immovable object (wall in your case). Fortunately this continues to be a rare event. But no turnstiles for me anymore :-) I'll reconnect the battery later for kicks to see if anything comes of it.
How did you manage to remove the outer black surround? I didn't see how you did that. On mine there's a black lug holding it on, but I can't figure out how to remove it?
The black center piece is two parts and then snap onto the white shell. Loosen the tabs near the tire first and then you should be able to pop everything off.
my mten3 sent me to the pavement today. It just got stuck and sent me flying. After turning it off, I notice the wheel was now kind of stuck. It would not spin freely. I checked the axle and nothing obvious was stuck. When I turn it on, it just sits there and beeps. The wheel doesn't spin. Any hints or ideas what might be wrong?
@@bachhaphong7619 The axle was broken. I replaced it and the second axle had a crack in it. In the end I just gave up and sold the parts off. Have an mten4 now and super happy with it.
Hey marty, just had delivered the new M10. Rode it about 20 miles and then it started doing this thing where it didnt power off . I repeatedly press the power button with no affect. I told jason about it and he referred me to your video. Do you have any idea what could be causing this problem? Would it just be a case of opening the wheel and disconnect/reconnect the power cable? If its a blown controller then obviously it will need replacement. Just wondering if there may be a quick fix that you are aware of. thanks,
Wow, that really sucks. So the wheel is still on right now? Is the wheel functioning otherwise? Does the power button turn on/off the lights? If the wheel is functioning I wonder if it's a case of either a bad switch or one of the wires disconnected from the switch or control board.
Yeah, sucks. wheel is still on. I lifted it and ran the cycle to shut it down as much as i could but lights are still on. power button does not turn off lights. Jason suggested i open it up and disconnect the power cable. not sure i want to full on take this thing apart. you got any suggestions?@@ElectricUnicycles
@@Born2Ride108 You didn't tell me whether the wheel works? Does it balance? Can you connect to it with the app? If it can balance then I contend that it's the switch. In either case, the only way to shut the wheel off is to open it and disconnect the battery cable. Place the wheel on its side with the handle pointing away from you and the headlight facing right. Remove the cover. I probably have a video which shows some of this on my Mten3 Playlist. It's very easy to do, and you really have no choice. If your wheel is not self balancing then that means the control board had a failure. Some failure mechanisms will result in the wheel stuck in the "on" mode. I've had this happen.

You can see my "Mten3 Playlist" and find how I fixed it. Gotway subsequently strengthened the battery pack and in the years since I have not heard of this happening again. Many many people continue to buy the Mten3 - it's robust wheel, rest assured.
@@ElectricUnicycles ! ah thank you for getting back to me, i wasnt aware you fixed it. but that is excellent to hear, im going to peruse your playlist now..
I cannot pull the shell apart like 3:45 -- are there screws under the upper pads that you omitted in this video? SOLUTION: Just pull harder ... that black grid is sticky tape stuck to the white grid! PRO-TIP: only loosen the "driver's side (USA)" / left side motor bolts if you just need to get into the case. Leave the other 6 bolted in on the right. Also, the LED strip is a huge pita.
Looks like you are more into unicycles than me, btw is this normal that my mten3 fan, when the wheel is standing still runs alternately high speed, low speed? Fortunately when riding fan works well bcs wheel is 41°C
Hi can just see want you think my daughter was on her mten3 today she fell off wheel works fine she rode it home but I can’t power off the wheel with out unplugging the battery’s the switch works as I can turn the light on and off and when I hold the button it does the beep but doesn’t turn off. Do you have any ideas. could it be the switch still.
Doubtful that the problem is on the control board. Most likely the switch. Would be pretty easy to test by temporarily bypassing the switch with another one (any old switch)
@@ElectricUnicycles how would you test it I haven’t got any other switch. how ever I did unplug the switch last night and just Tried to jumper on the board but that didn’t work. It’s strange that the button works with the lights but won’t turn off very strange
@@cgoateucz1039 I know everyone doesn't have the same resources, but I would probably cut the wires and splice in another momentary switch to see if the new switch worked and go from there.
