Can I ride home with this error?

Ride with caution. You can pedal without assist; do not keep trying to use the motor.

  • Wrong or faulty battery
  • Controller software problem

How to fix it

  1. Switch off, take the battery out and put it back in firmly.
  2. Switch the bike off, wait 10 seconds and switch it on again.
  3. Only use the battery and charger supplied for your bike.
  4. If the code stays, your dealer can update the controller software (Bafang BESST tool) or check the battery.
