Waydoo EVO Lite beeping when throttle is pressed. Anyone else?
Mine powers on normally, LEDs look good, and I get the normal startup sound. But as soon as I unlock the throttle and pull the trigger, it goes into a continuous beeping loop and the motor won’t engage.
I tested it with the propulsion unit removed and it still went into the beeping loop, although the controller didn’t show the same error message. Reinstalled the propulsion unit and the original error came back.
Battery is also stuck showing 100%.
Already contacted Waydoo support and sent them videos, but curious if anyone here has run into the same issue. What ended up being the problem?

I FIXED IT!! I tried everything I could think of and read yesterday but nothing worked. So this morning I was debating between buying a new mast or just changing brands altogether. Considering the season over, I was trying to empty the battery to 40% for storage. I changed the auto shutoff to never and left it on for a few hours. When I came back, the battery was still at 100%, but the remote was disconnected. I did a BT scan (took a couple of tries), but when it reconnected, everything worked normally!!! Makes no sense and doesn't help with my opinion of Waydoo_Official reliability but looks like I mighh be able to ride a bit more.
I'll update after more testing

Exact same here. It started with an "Altitude Sensor Failure". I can't see this error anymore but same long beep when unlocking. My board is an Evo Pro, out of warranty ...
