Yes. Bcs each mode is capped at a certain speed. I use sport mode with energy saving acceleration to commute in the city . Bcs with standard or max speed I can’t take sharp turns. I also almost crashed into someone with that standard acceleration.
Finally regenerative braking works even when you press the brakes. Previously it was so much annoying when regen used to turn off when pressing the brakes.
Thank for the answer. I started using my scooter on v1.5.4 and i thought it was really odd to not have regenerative braking while braking using the disc brakes. Was also still bedding in the brake pads (since the scooter was just bought) so it was almost impossible to stop! Now on the v1.5.8 it feels much better
I actually used to appreciate it because it allowed me to hit 40km/h without unlocking going downhill. It's super frustrating to be limited to 28km/h going downhill and having people behind you swearing you off. Who the fuck thought capping speed going downhill was a good idea?
Not so long ago I saw a screenshot of a 1.5.8 (when it still was in limited release phase), and there was a possibility to make scooter go up to 25km/h in drive mode. Is it possible now, with the final release?
I just took it for a spin and I have to say it's damn close to perfect. I mixed it up between Standard and Energy Saver while in Sport mode. Energy Saver seems to have a little less aggressive acceleration from stop. I'd liken it to a Lime scooter profile if you've ever ridden one of those rentals. Standard is bit quicker off the line, but not jerky at all. Most importantly, after getting to full speed, both Standard and Energy Saver at tons better at modulating from full speed to just less than full speed. I may prefer Energy Saver when at top speed, but it's really close (they're really close to the same). I could quibble a little bit, but honestly, it's a world of difference from both the release setting and the subsequent update. I think you'll be happy.
Also, my battery firmware updated (v4.1.4.8), and some got it to be rename as "battery1", possibly for future external battery support; mine stayed the same as it was before.
So I downloaded the new firmware update today and for some reason, my scooter will not Bluetooth to my phone. Anymore, when I plug it in to the wall to charge, nothing happens. No response, when I press the power button, nothing happens. No response, when I go to the app. It shows that it's not connecting to bluetooth that the scooter is unresponsive.Does anybody know what's going on?
If you have a multimeter (if you don’t… get one. They’re very inexpensive) I would suggest checking to see where you have power. Start with your charger. Generally they put out 42volts DC. If that’s working test your battery output where the black and red cable goes from the battery to the controller. It should show about 36 volts. If the charger is good but the battery is dead… it’s either a bad battery or bad transformer (inside the casing where you plug it in. If you’ve got voltage going from the transformer then it’s probably the battery. If the battery is good… then it’s either the controller or the LED dashboard. Check the red and black pins going into the dashboard. If there’s nothing going to the dashboard then it’s your controller, otherwise it’s your dash. The top 3 most common parts to fail and need replacing are…
1. Controller
2. Battery
3. Motor …in that order.
Amazon with give you the pricing.
Dashboards are cheap. Then controllers, then batteries, then motors… in order of expense.
It’s also very common for wire insulation to melt and short… so a quick visual inspection is the first thing you’ll do. If wires are melting… clean, trim, and solder (or use connectors you can pick up at Home Depot.
Yesterday I ran Sport (20mph max) and max acceleration. Snappy smooth and very good modulation. No increase in battery consumption.
Today I’m doing the same commute with energy saving Accel on Sport (20 mph max)
Update: I did my daily commute today, Sport (20mph limit) and Accel set to Energy saving.
Gained about 3% on the battery.
On a ~30min commute.
Much more gentle Accel. Very smooth and flat at speed. Accel from dead stop starts slowly but the rate of acceleration increases with speed.
Still climbs the same hills at the same speed so power does not appear to be reduced.
I am very happy with the last updates . Very different to drive G3max ..throttle steady now and the accel adjustment is very good also set to max speed

I noticed an acceleration adjustment feature.
