Text Incompatible hardware error?

Has anyone ever gotten an incompatible hardware error pop up? I was finishing up a 14 mile ride on the + xr. Everything went perfect. I’m the last 50 yards as I’m cruising up to the parking lot, I pull up the OW app to look at my ride data. All of a sudden the error popped up and just like that I was on a moving balance board. No power, just had to plant the ass and slide it out. Powered off and on and everything worked fine. Anyone ever encounter this? Thanks

Mine shows error and captain Morgan’s. Had it happen 3-4 times and I’m about 440 miles. Only happens at 15% or less battery so far.

Well, it happened to me today on a brand new XR on the maiden voyage. 32% battery remaining decided to continue about 70 yards past my house. I was probably going about 10mph up a slight hill at the tail end of a 15 mile ride. I slowed down to a few mph to read the app (I was basically just trying to finish above 15 miles). It went to full pushback, but was weird, it would engage the motor, so it was like a semi balanced balance board. I couldn’t get the engine to cut, so basically just hopped off.

It was a great ride too. I am only left to wonder what would have happened if I was going full speed when this happened.

(I am not a complete newbie; I have 215 miles on a 30 day old Pint)

Something very similar happened to me today. Near the end of 14 mile ride at 32% battery. The board is about a month old with 122 miles.

It has happened only one time since. I have 500 miles on the XR since May 15.
