How is the grab handle holding up after a year of use? It's covered with a thin layer of neoprene (i have a 6m) and i'm pretty sure that mine is about to wear through after just a few months of use.
@fixitdad89920 күн бұрын
Hi @kitesurfuk So far so good for me - I used this wing pretty extensively in all months except January so have a solid year on it - I did notice that the rubber seems to have delaminated at some of the edges but only a few mm. If I wanted I could easily glue back down. For me no signs of burn thru mid handle. I wear gloves for a good portion of our Canadian year and same cannot be said for them. Maybe my gloves protecting the handles a bit. I now also have a 5.7 Neil Pryde Fly which has round profile handles and much better neo-wrap so do notice build difference. Vision much chunkier and rectangular. I liked the Vision 8 enough that I bought a 2nd demo unit this spring for weekend properly. It's my steady goto. Would I like a more expensive big wing? .... sure ... but very happy with my economical Vision(s). Happy Winging!

Hi Kent - thx for reach out - apologies but I'm not a treadmill tech so advice limited. 1st thing that comes to mind is ... have you lubricated the belt recently? Even if just walking belt will dry out. If you havent I'd do that 1st. I am not aware of any master reset combo but the old unplug from wall and wait for at least a minute for capacitors to discharge would be what I'd do. Then I'd Google to see if anyone out there has the press x and y and z button combo (which is why you are contacting me I guess!) I suspect 'Horizon' probably just a Canadian cover brand for plant in China and ya ... customer service prob not going to be too great. In one of my other vids you'll see I had to put my own buttons into play to bypass the originals which were acting up / not responding on my unit.

Hi Jed It's been a very long time since I removed mine. Going from memory I used a set of old metal measuring calipers with sharp points. (Like a compass from school days but with 2 legs) What I remember is having a challenge turning the plug counterclockwise in the tube thread until I used the calipers in the two slots/cutouts in those plugs. There is actually a tool you can buy that inserts into the tube and has two projections that fit into the slots. Think it's $50 or so. I'm way too cheap to buy it! Anyway .. I don't remember having to slide down a channel. I just remember having to spin counterclockwise a bunch to get it out. Does your tube have a thread along the inner surface all the way to the exit? That would be the tip off. All I can offer. Good luck with it!

Was going to put it on another scooter. My guess is the light 'board' wiring has shaken loose. Original owner never had an issue.

@@fixitdad899 What make me have the idea to make "hand" is a really practical one made by David Lans. no servos,no battery and really useful that no one would doubt. Sadly I still trying on copy/improve his version and not finished yet. BTW I like electricity drived hand too.
I replaced all the screws to stainless and just regular philips head so dont have to stress out looking an allen wrench and also i switch to larger wheels and also replaced the front small feet roller toa little bigger to fix the issue of the unit not performing well because of the unit too low when using it for the floors.
Sweet! Good for another 100K KM -
@@fixitdad899 lol yes sir, I love this vacuum but it takes a little of getting use to as it can navigate around easily but at the same time can miss some area if u carried away. 😁
I am going to take mine apart even though it's fine for some preventive maintenance
Great idea! - much easier to clean the roller brush when it's out of the machine.
Yeah dad yer a lil l8 , I have already tore mine apart!! I tried beating it out w/ hammer & pry bar 😮 it stopped moving about 60% of the way 😢 So... Cut the rest of the way with my Dremel & cut thru 2 of the cells 😢
In the immortal words of Scooby-Doo "Ruh-ro!" Hopefully Puff the Magic Dragon didn't getcha. Sorry for tardiness - endeavor to do better next time! 😯
Is it ok if it flashing blue??? Dont make sense…
The way to wake the bms up (no blue flashing light) is to apply 12 volts to the red and black wires, on the 4 pin plug. And boom good to go, if the cells are not buggered
I bought one from Ebay in 2007 for 60 usd hoping it would be a good table and it was awful, The motor was worn and a new or a good used motor could not be found but it had a Precept Cartridge and that was a gem I did not expect to get...That was a new high end type of an upgrade by Audio Technical that came out in the early 80s and that made the 60 usd very well worth it because I removed the head shell put it on another table with a new stylus it is great and the B2 does make a great platter for cleaning records .
Same problem here
I have Horizon Treadmill CT 9.3 purchased in 2016 from Canadian Tire store.I have been using it only for walking and that too not very frequently. Now it is giving problem. During walking it suddenly stops and there comes clicking sound from the control board. After a few minutes it resets itself automatically and starts working normally but after another few minutes it again stops suddenly and the same clicking sound starts coming from the control board. Horizon fitness doesn't have a caring and effectively efficient "after sale service " in Ontario, Canada. Can you please advise as how to get rid of this trouble? Any clue to reset this trouble or master reset the machine for any such problems? Thanks.
Hi Kent - thx for reach out - apologies but I'm not a treadmill tech so advice limited. 1st thing that comes to mind is ... have you lubricated the belt recently? Even if just walking belt will dry out. If you havent I'd do that 1st. I am not aware of any master reset combo but the old unplug from wall and wait for at least a minute for capacitors to discharge would be what I'd do. Then I'd Google to see if anyone out there has the press x and y and z button combo (which is why you are contacting me I guess!) I suspect 'Horizon' probably just a Canadian cover brand for plant in China and ya ... customer service prob not going to be too great. In one of my other vids you'll see I had to put my own buttons into play to bypass the originals which were acting up / not responding on my unit. Could be a short or wire break somewhere in the chain causing SNAFU in yours. Sorry I cant be of more concrete assistance but best wishes on your quest! Best R
@@fixitdad899 Thank you, sir. I value your reply very dearly. Sadly, Horizon fitness after sale service in Canada is very bad. I want some technician to fix a bypass so that I can continue using it for walking through this winter, but no one is listening. Anyway, thank you again for your kind response.
Hi Kent You mentioned you are located in Ontario. Where abouts are you? Are you in Toronto by chance?
@@fixitdad899 Thanks for your reply. I am in Cambridge, Ontario. It is about 100 km West of Toronto in Kitchener/ Waterloo area.
Do you know if I can mix the LG purple battery at 2650mah with the blue 2550mah, I had all LG and 2 blue batteries but couldn't get it the BMS to turn on, the batteries where charged up to 40V-4.2V and getting 40-42V total. Not sure if there is something else wrong with it or the BMS boards.
I have also got a scooters that 1 batteries is charging faster than the others so it would cut off, I assume that will be more likely the BMS than the faulty battery.
Hi Mr. Lee Apologies I dont have a good answer for you - I recommend you reach out to folks on a battery builders forum - my gut says you should never mix ampere ratings as it creates an imbalance - maybe if the 2 single cells have a higher rating than the rest it might be acceptable but I just dont know. I would assume other way around would cause undue risk i.e. adding in 2 cells with lower ratings. Best wishes!
What kind of screwdriver is this
Need my scooter fixed haven’t found a screwdriver to unscrew external battery
Hi there ... at 3:04 in video I show screwdriver - is 3mm Allen/Hex driver. Best wishes on your fix.
I have looked for almost a YEAR for info on fixing this and NOTHING was helping me "oh the cord is frayed, your battery is shot" I actually bought another battery and another charging pack to no avail. I finally found your video. Thank you so much! I was scared I was just screwed. Much appreciation and hope others find this video if they have the same problem.
Forgot to say I also had to get a new speed controller and a technician look at it.
Thx for commenting. Gives me a great amount of joy knowing that I was able to help ease a little frustration in someone's life! Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Hope you have a fantastic day and get out there on your machine. Nothing like a little wind on the face. Best R
Is there a trick to removing those plastic internal locking caps on either end? I am able to turn them about 45 degrees back and forth but can't get the slots to align with the metal guides inside the stem. Thanks...
Hi Jed It's been a very long time since I removed mine. Going from memory I used a set of old metal measuring calipers with sharp points. (Like a compass from school days but with 2 legs) What I remember is having a challenge turning the plug counterclockwise in the tube thread until I used the calipers in the two slots/cutouts in those plugs. There is actually a tool you can buy that inserts into the tube and has two projections that fit into the slots. Think it's $50 or so. I'm way too cheap to buy it! Anyway .. I don't remember having to slide down a channel. I just remember having to spin counterclockwise a bunch to get it out. Does your tube have a thread along the inner surface all the way to the exit? That would be the tip off. All I can offer. Good luck with it!
@@fixitdad899 Thanks! I also made a tool, out of two 1/4-20 bolts. It turns very well for abut 45 degrees, then stops hard against those two splines/ridges. No threading visible anywhere inside. It looks a bit like I have to break two tabs off to be able to turn them further. But I will fiddle a bit more before resorting to violence (haha).
Mine is an ES2, by the way (with an external batter added on)
@@jedfehrenbach9470 Did you remove the external battery mount bar? It also screws into the internal battery case. Once you get that removed, I used a long wooden rod like a broom handle and pushed it out.
Great point about removing the mounting bar
I saw the after math crazy
Been sifting through wreck indentifying/documenting for past two days. It's just stunning to see what that kind of heat does to plastics and metals. Aluminum posts looked like melted candles.
This happened August 12th, 2023 10pm ish at Highland Pines Campground in Belwood Ontario Canada. That's my weekend place fully engulfed after our neighbors initial trailer fire transferred to our own. All we could do was watch 😢 Fortunately my teenaged kids made it out of the Florida room before our unit caught. Fortunately no one was seriously injured - well except my wallet!
I think you got super lucky, I haven't seen a bl-s2 with the Panasonic label on it, that by itself doesn't mean much but that return gear has a brass or copper catch on it which isn't what I'm used to seeing. Normally the gear and catch are one using in plastic or nylon and break all the time. Mine has the break but the returns still working. I will have to design a replacement and use my 3d printer to print one. So basically they used to be built better, I wonder what else is better, I assume they made changes for cost cutting.
Thx for making my day. Happy vinyling to you!
what if my external battery indicator light isn't turning on at all, but my scooter and software says it's charged/charging? EDIT: Ok Nevermind, after fully charging to 100 percent, the light indicator on my external battery finally showed 4 LED bars. I was getting worried my external battery might be dead and needed to be replaced.
Happy to see things worked out! Turns out my own external lights not coming on anymore. On any of my machines. Our weekend place neighbors caught fire this past weekend... fire jumped to our place within 10 minutes. Total write off. Had 4 scoots inside and carbon fiber wingfoil gear etc. - all gone :(..... Might be time to upgrade!
@@fixitdad899 Wow, that’s crazy. How did your neighbor’s fire start? Was it scooter-related?

I have the complete opposite where my external isn’t charging
Hi Evan - if I were you I would remove the external battery from the scooter and see if it will charge directly. I had an issue with one of mine where it was just the charge indicator lights that wouldn't work but battery was charging and another that was just pooched. If it does charge when apart it could still be that connection where they mate together is loose. Good luck with it. Best
I did do that but it still sometimes does the error 42 and doesn’t charge
Can a second external battery be connected to the front of the ninebot e45d? So I had one internal and two external batteries? how can i connect together ?
If you are willing to charge batteries separately - probably is a way. You'd need to connect all 3 packs in parallel. Probably need to put T style connectors T40 T60 etc. onto packs to connect them. You would lose 'one connection' charging. Its beyond what I would take on personally but in theory possible I would think. Best wishes on it if you take it on. Be careful!! LI tricky and goes boom on occasion
I had a rattle problem all it took was tightening the screw at the bottom and no more rattle. Thanks for the help
Happy I could assist! Have a great day.
My scooter has the battery pack and it’s charging and all of that stuff, however it will still only go 12 mph. We’ve had 1000 miles on our scooter and this has never happened
Hi there - on one of my scooters - it had gone into 'eco' speed mode. I normally have mine in fast mode. One of the things it does in eco mode is limit the speed. You can either go into the Ninebot app pair your machine and check speed settings OR I think there is a button press sequence that will toggle thru speed settings. *There should be an indicator by the speed readout that shows which mode you are in. Google 'how to change speed settings Ninebot [model #]' and something should come up. All I can think of.
took mine to a shop for board replacement inside, and after i left the place less than a block i hit a bump too hard and something came loose and now wont stop beeping or work.
Ouch ... that sucks - these machines really don't have much in the way of suspension. Hard on the internals. Hopefully that shop was able to fix again. Best wishes. Ride well!
Is there any way to revive a battery that is half dead like you explained? One side is near full charge while the other has less than a volt on all readings :( Thank you for the help!
Hi Dabiel - sorry for slow response. I never did get to the bottom of why the packs were 1/2 discharging like that. Without knowing cause I've moved on from the dead cells. Once cells are that discharged, I wouldn't trust them anyway. Seen way too many stories about ebikes spontaneously going up in flames lately. Lithium can be so dangerous. Better safe than sorry methinks! Have a good one - thx for watching.
I had a question. What is the four white lights and red light strip on the external battery no longer display. Is that a sign that the external battery is on its last leg of lifespan? Also, is there away to fix the light problem? Thanks
Hi Eric I dont actually know the true answer but .. the first ninebot I purchased used had this issue - it seemed to work just fine - recharged etc. The guy I bought it from still had it under warranty and he made a claim and they shipped a new/refurb external battery out - unfortunately I had to return the 'no light' one. Was going to put it on another scooter. My guess is the light 'board' wiring has shaken loose. Original owner never had an issue. My suspicion is - if you open it up and find the loose connection you might be able to get lights working again. Or just use the app to know how your charge is on external. Best I can offer.
Probably just the reset button on the top board, I sell these used and tested.
Hi Eric - thx for confirming - I did have a 'I probably should have tried pressing the little brass button' a few weeks after I recorded vid. After watching an @jehugarcia vid. Live and learn! Hey - question 4u. I had another unit where exactly 1/2 cells were near completely discharged and 1/2 were good/near full charge. Any ideas on what might cause that condition? Appreciated. Have a great day.
How did you remove the middle black knob so easily???
Hi C - for me it just pulled straight off - think I had to grasp with pliers - may have put a flat bladed screwdriver in once I had lifted a bit to pop it off. Thx for watching. Have a great day.
@@fixitdad899 Yeah I finally got it off but now Im in another predicament.. so the USB port was too loose causing the cable to keep falling off.. I grabbed pliers to squeeze it but squeezed a little too hard and now it wont fit lol... it's so hard to try and expand the USB port again without ruining the inside piece of the USB port.... sooo annoying
Did you give the warrantee folks a try? They were really good with me. Ya - don't think they were made for their serviceability! Finicky for sure. Good luck.
hi! my son got one of these scooters from the dumpster but someone tried to fix it and left it disassembled but with almost all the things inside a plastig bag. also the battery is fully disassembled. meassured it 40V. DETAIL --> it misses that second board with the 4 pin connector. the dash doesnt display anything but when i press the ON button the ESC turns ON and the green led flashes 8 times. do you believe the scooter is able to run with a battery without that second board? before discovering that missing board I was thinking on purchasing a new ESC and Dash for it.... the motor seems to be functional because I tested it with a rc car ESC....
forgot to mention that the pack even without that board is fully balanced with the cells measuring 4.095V !!!
Nice score! I highly doubt you can run reliably without 2nd board. But I honestly dont know for sure. Im.way better at taking things apart than putting them back together 😁 - best wishes with your fix - sounds like you have the know how to get that thing going. 👍
@@fixitdad899 thanks for your reply... I will keep trying to find out the esc led flashing code... it flashes 8 times... as it is impossible to see the actual code because the dashboard doesn't display anything... it is a little bit expensive to risk buying new parts for it... maybe is a good idea to first buy the BMS, then the Dashboard and finaly the ESC.... let's see... ciao from Italy
@@fixitdad899 got some news. I discovered hot the esc flash works. there is a long blink and sucessive blinks. the first , long beep is the decimal of the error code presented in the dashboard. mine was flashing 1 long blink, then 8 shorts. thats means error 18 that is hall sensor problem. after cleaning contatcs started to 2 long blinks then 1 short, meaning 21 (bms error! the missing board)... then I discovered that the black wire that goes from the esc to the dash was faulty. removed the connector from the esc board and soldered the cable directly to the board and ....voilaaa.... dashboard working, beaping and displaying error 21 (BMS)... the conclusion is that the scottter will not run without the bms board (safety). I will need to purchase the board now.
Fantastic troubleshooting sir! Thx for explaining the codes and how you were able to read them. Best wishes on sourcing the part and completing the fix. The good news is these things are everywhere it seems! Usually in the middle of a pedestrian sidewalk unfortunately:)
Question - if battery is totally dead and if I tear it down, and replace all 18650 elements and put it all together - will it work?
Hi E - Theoretically ... possibly. IF the electronics are all still good AND you are good with spot welding new cells AND cells are to proper specification - then should work but that's a lot of risk and work in my opinion. Spot welding is a tricky business unless you have correct equipment. Best wishes on your project if you attempt. Please let us know how goes. Thx for watching and commenting.
excellent video. Easy to understand. fixed the problem. thanks so much.
Fantastic! Glad vid helped. Thx for feedback. Have a great one.
The battery is rated at 36v 5100mAh. Assuming a 10s2p they have pretty poor cell mAh (2500) and could be improved by rebuilding with 3000+. I don't see an amperage rating. Anyone know?
I LIKES YOUR INGLÉS
What is the other connections for besides the power? It wasn’t connected to anything on my scooter
What software did you use?
Just the stock Ninebot app. Same that is used for a number of Ninebot contraptions like one-wheels. Gives you battery diagnostics. Thx for watching!
I just cleaned my old SL-B2 in much the same way, had to order a 3D printed gear to fix the auto-return from the eBay guy, totally worth the investment these are great little budget turntables that can be easily upgraded to sound really good.
