    Sorry about your head and the broken trigger. This is the first time I've heard of a new remote (2 wks old) going spontaneously into REVERSE. Did you have gloves on? Might have been an unintentional input. What do you think?

    Two issues in two weeks sounds like a faulty remote man, I can't see why you'd have to pay for a new one. See if you can get a free swap!

    Holy run on sentence.

    So it's a new remote with the updated firmware, and it threw you into reverse?

    Guys, this same exact thing happened to me today. Riding in ECO mode and the board decided to jump into reverse on its own!!! I had the throttle in acceleration mode and was moving forward at 7-9mph, then it chattered up and locked up which is an indication of reverse being engaged.

    Board braked / jumped into reverse on its own in ECO mode

    I think what he is trying to say is that your topic could be missleading since you were wearing a helmet and your head seems to be fine.

    No hate please :). I just tried to clear thinks up. It's never fun to crash especially if your hardware isn't working as it should. Wish you all the best, get well soon!
