6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ENGWE P1 electric bicycle.
- Bike not powering on: Check if the battery is properly seated and charged. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Motor not assisting: Verify that the pedal assist level is not set to zero. Check battery level. Ensure the motor cable is securely connected.
- Reduced range: This can be due to low tire pressure, riding in higher assist levels, frequent use of pure electric mode, or riding against strong headwinds. Ensure proper tire inflation and consider using lower assist levels for longer rides.
- Brakes feel weak: Inspect brake pads for wear. Check brake cable tension and adjust if necessary.
- Unusual noises: Inspect for loose components, rubbing parts (e.g., brake pads on rotor), or chain issues.
