Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| E-bike does not power on | Battery not charged, battery not properly seated/locked, loose electrical connection, power button issue. | Charge battery, ensure battery is correctly installed and locked, check connections, try pressing power button firmly. |
| Motor not assisting / no power | Low battery, pedal assist level set to zero, brake levers engaged, motor connection issue. | Check battery level, increase PAS level, ensure brake levers are fully released, check motor cable connection. |
