I’m not seeing a picture of you intended to include one, but if your soldering skills are good and depending on the part that’s burned out then yes you can in theory replace it without replacing the whole controller.

Hi,

I had 90% of charge on my scooter when I was breaking hard going downhill. After that the motor seems to be broken, it won't run anymore, and the front wheel don't rotate as easy as before. No errormessages or anything else that indicates that something is wrong. Anyone here who had this problem, or suggestions on how to fix it? I just contacted MI Store, waiting for heir reply.

So, for you who got this scooter, don't break running downhill

May I ask what break did you use? the brake from your handlebar or the foot brake?

Ive seen a few blow up from full charge using regenerative braking, I’m assuming it is the handle break rather than the foot brake.

The mainboard will still turn on when it fries, shows mileage, etc. When you press the throttle though the scooter auto shuts off. I had the same experience, but I had a short in my motor wiring as I wasn't braking nor going downhill when mine let go (also really modded).



When this condition occurs, its basically never the motor ever.

I tried this when mine died, I'm pretty good at soldering and I verified my connections were solid and not touching where it shouldn't. Mine was cooked enough where I added little jumper wires as you can see. It changed nothing and I had to replace the controller. Clearly when this happens it burns another component on the board up. At that point not worth fixing.



The thick solder is me trying to reinforce everything lol. A bit ugly but 100% functional.

Is your second picture your replacement board which you then reinforced with extra solder? What did you about the transparent epoxy coating on top of the board? Or is that the old one which you tried to fix?
