evolve GTX is stuck in safe mode

Ive only rode my evolve gtx 3 times and it ran awesome. on the fourth attempt I took it off the charger and turned it on and it does nothing, its stuck in safe mode, I can still access the menus, but nothing else.
after about several minutes sometimes it switches to slow mode, but motors still wont turn.

 

See if the remote don’t change the protocol by itself, newer boards works in V2, v1 will not work properly

 

I let it sit for 10 mins... nothing , it wont respond.

 

Ok , they told me to try this. But it seems like he does the trigger value backwards. Idk

 

this is not working, I tried reseting the parameters like 40 times... heres a pic of the last time, this is what i got after watching the video. Still stuck in safe mode.

 

I just noticed looking at the Throttle parameter 11
I cant seem to get that parameter to 0
no matter what I do it wont go below 11 . ive completely disassembled it .
in that video he has it set to 0
I bet this is the problem

 

Anyway, i only had it a couple of days. So i shipped it back to get repairs.

 

You know what man, I got the R2 remote in December, and I’ve been trying to find the video to get into this “throttle curve” screen. Prior to having this remote, I could have swore I saw a video that showed how to get in this screen. But after getting mine I couldn’t find it again. This thread helped me find it.

Mine still had “surges” after the R2 remote. Retrimming the throttle and brake fixed it I’m pretty sure.

 

I think it’s something on the board side. Have you ever taken your battery case off? Could be a loose wire?

 

Yeah, thats what most people are saying, probably the board.

And yes it looked fine on the inside.

 

The surges. Might be the brake sticking... cause i had my brake was not releasing all the way.

 

I’ve met so many GT sand GTX riders that have remote issues. Evolve must be going broke replacing remotes. I met a guy last night that told me his GTX has had 5 remote replacements. In all cases the power plug falls in or weird surging or the trigger falls off.

 

Well, Evolve were pretty fast to respond , they took it back for repairs. I hope to get it back in a couple weeks.

 

I just think for the money they charge we should have these issue. I think anyone that rides these has issues.

 

I had a similar issue. Board would stop and get stuck in safe mode. I rang tech support and diagnosed a faulty motor by swapping motor connections over as in one of the Youtube videos. They sent me a new motor and all is good now.

 

They fixed it


1-New Gen 3 dual motor controller
1-New R2 remote

 

I think its motor controller fried.

 

Your controller fried?

 

If your remote stuck in safe mode and motors not spinning its fried motor controller.

 

I have had an evolve bamboo GTX since December. I have already had the power button on the board go out once, the internal controller replaced (which required it to be sent from Houston to California), and I had the power input on the remote cave in where I couldn't even plug up the remote so I could power it up.

Today I received a new remote and it is stuck in safe mode and the wheels won't turn.

I really enjoy riding the board when it works, but that has been far a few between since I bought it in December. I think I have a lemon.

Also, Evolve USA just changed their phone support where you have to email and leave a message and they will get back to you within 24 hours rather than just talking to you when you call, which is really frustrating when you are trying to get answers.

The constant repairs has seriously damaged my enthusiasm for the company and I have little confidence that it will work before and after my warranty is over.
