Bafang error 08: Motor hall sensor fault

Medium severity Service soon

Can I ride home with this error?

Ride with caution. Safe to pedal without assist if the motor is not dragging.

What it means

The motor's position sensors are not sending a correct signal, so the controller cannot drive the motor properly.

Likely causes

  • Loose motor connector
  • Damaged motor cable
  • Faulty sensor inside the motor

Symptoms

  • Code 08 shows
  • No assist, jerky or noisy assist

How to fix it

  1. Switch off and check the motor cable connectors are fully pushed together.
  2. Switch the bike off, wait 10 seconds and switch it on again.
  3. Do not open the motor.
  4. If the code comes back, take the bike to your dealer or a Bafang service centre. The motor may need replacing.
