Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not powering on | Loose battery connection; no power supply; internal fault. | Check battery terminals and main power wire. Verify battery voltage. Use the m.ride app for diagnostics. |
| Component (e.g., light) not working | Incorrect wiring; faulty component; configuration error in app. | Verify wiring to the M-Unit output. Test the component directly. Check settings in the m.ride app. |
| Bluetooth connection unstable | Interference; app issue; phone settings. | Ensure no strong electromagnetic interference. Restart the m.ride app and phone's Bluetooth. Update app to latest version. |
| Keyless Go not activating | Phone not detected; feature disabled; app not running. | Ensure m.ride app is running in the background. Check Keyless Go settings in the app. Ensure phone is within range. |
For further assistance, utilize the diagnostic features within the m.ride application or contact Motogadget support.
