Title: No error code but motor not spinning
Post by: Naranja_CT5+ on September 08, 2024, 08:12:31 PM
I took the bike out for a ride this afternoon unfortunately I only got 10 blocks and I had to turn back. My area was flat so I was not noticing I had no power on my motor. I had power to both UI and PAS console but no wattage levels when I twist the accelerator. I tried powering on and off but still no joy. Got off the bike lift the rear wheel and test the motor. Checked all the connectors. Same result so I went back home because I left my tools behind.

The problem turned out to be a misadjusted brake lever. Earlier in the day my brakes felt like it needs tightening up. So per instructions I adjusted the little screw, I guess I have overdone it. Reversing what I did solved the problem.

I am only posting this as a warning to someone new to electric bikes like myself. I thought I had the dreaded controller problem but I'm glad it's a user error.

Thank you! I'm having the same issue and I'll try this out.

You can pivot the kickstand to lift the wheel off the ground. It saves you from lifting dead weight.

I hope it solves your problem. Good luck
