OMG man, you saved me a bunch of money! I had a sloppy brake that was preventing the motor from engaging on my Fiido T1, I isolated that because of your help, tightened it up and now the bike is good as new! Thank you!
You Sir, are a legend. Had my Kalkhoff booked in for what was going to be an expensive repair. Checked all connections and the head up display wasn’t quite connected properly so the motor wasn’t connected to it! All back working now thanks to watching your video and listening to your advice.
This really helped me, I had no idea what to even check and Jonny , you put it in perspective for me and it was my brakes. I got my e-bike working because of you. Thank you so much
Thanks man! You helped me out with my issues only three minutes in. My bike was throwing a brake error code. Disconnected the breaks and it work beutifully.
I wanna thank u , my boyfriend has an eco motion electric bike ,and it just stopped working , and I seen ur video so I showed it to him and the first thing he tried , it worked .
Thank you so much! My power assist and throttle weren't working this morning and this video gave me the solution I needed - The magnet on my hydraulic brakes had shifted. I screwed it back on and it worked perfectly again!
I adjusted the brakes on mine, took up the free play on the levers with an allen key, and unwittingly activated the cut off to the motor !!!! When you pull the brake lever, it cuts power to the motor for safety, by adjusting the brakes a little too much, the cut off switch was permanently engaged. Just backed it off a little and all was fine.
Hey Johnny, john e. here with a thank you for helping me to diagnose power loss due to a loose connection between motor and rest of bike multi-pinout connector. Must have worked itself loose.
I was all bummed my bike crapped out and was looking for more technical troubleshooting, thought what a worthless video, Duh who wouldn't have checked their connectors and cables, stoopid! Been through the continuity testing of the mosfets, etc. I totally thought I wasted my time watching your video! Decided to go back out in the garage and check all my connections... Eh, you nailed it brother! I'm eating crow. Sure enough the axle wasn't quite tight enough so it spun a bit and kinked the cable that goes through it, I straightened it all out and she fired right up! @JohnnyNerdOut for the WIN!
Thank you for your tips and advice. Your a big help. Am new to the Ebike world. I had a bad brake connection. Where it wasn't allowing my display screen to come on. Thank u again. A fan from here on out
We bought two Lectric XPs. If yours arrives and works out of the box count yourself lucky. If it does not you'll spend a few hours underneath a brand new bike following emailed trouble shooting guides. If you fix your brand new bike you're lucky again because it's a high hurdle to get Lectric to get a new, working bike sent to you for the good money you've already paid. Things happen, we all understand that. The true measure of a company is how well it puts things on track, and makes a customer happy when things do go wrong. Lectric e-Bikes has a ways to go on this count. Be advised.
@@elijahkuti9294 What I did was unplug the cables and plug them back. I don't know if that will work for you.My advice is keep watching videos or go to a local bike repair shop for help.
Thanks for the video! In my case the situation was the battery tabs, after 700km my girl friend Bird bike started acting like intermittent power, I use a very small flat head screwdriver to push the tabs back and it looks like fixing it. I notice when the bike is getting a bump we observe the issue, I guess the frequent bumps make the contact to be loose. I now use a velcro strap to tie down the battery, hopefully it might help.
thank you Johnny. I just removed the broken brake cable plus some small components, and while just started to riding the biycle, I pressed the brake and suddenly no throttle. I opened the youtube immediately, watch your video and you mentioned something about the brake. I reinstalled the brake component... whatever it is called in place, and walla, the bicycle ran again.
You are THE MAN! My RADCITY lost power about 5 miles down the trail. Had to hump it back to my car. Spent some time checking it over. (What do I know about ebikes?) Watched this video and where you talked about the brake cutout got my attention since the power failure happened right after I applied the brakes. Went and checked out the rear brake lever and noticed that somehow the throttle cable had got caught in the brake lever opening. Releasing the brake lever was squeezing the throttle cable. Worked it loose and bing-bang-boom. Back in business with full power! Thanks so much. Like to buy you a beer and a good cigar.
Have a friend with a 2019 Rad City. Lost power. Rad tech support sent a new controller. Nope. A new wiring harness. Nope. New throttle cable. Nope. Got to be the battery then. Can't get batteries right now! Sorry.
You may have an idea about what I'm experiencing. I have an electric bike that shuts off after a few seconds of riding. In both cases, using the pedal accelerator or the throttle control button, it happens. The bike display indicates the battery is full and there are no issues.
I am having the same problem. Another channel suggested taking the battery off and adjusting the connector prongs on the base of battery so connectors would fit more tightly. I haven’t tried it yet, but am hopeful it works. Let me know if you were able to get yours working again, please.
I'm having similar problems, I lost power assist but still had throttle. So checked my sensor and magnetic ring. Swapped out sensor for a new one and didn't work. Yesterday i went a mile down the road and it shut down. Powered back up with full display but touched the throttle and it cuts out. Motor is fine, display, battery is good and all cables are good. It can only be the controller.
These steps can be used for fatbikes aswell. Mine was unpluging the brake connector. A indicator its that problem is that the brake Light stays on. Thans for helping.
Johnny love your videos. I have a question on a new build with a bafang 750 mid drive. Everything seems to be working, but only for like 1 second then motor slows way down, if let off of throttle when hit I again get full power for about a second then it cuts back to barely working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated , I do have another bike with all the same parts so I will change 1 piece at a time to try and find the problem but you might have seen this before.
Thank you for your time, info and expertise. I have a Rambo G3 750 bafang. I'm having problems with the controller turning off during operation typically under a heavier load or uphill.

Our Aventon Pace bikes were flooded in Ft. Myers Hurricane Ian. We rescued them the next day and washed them off. The batteries were destroyed. Took them to a bike shop....they cant get them to turn on and advised trashing them. Any thoughts on how to proceed? They are just trying to get us to buy a new bike.
Hello, maybe u can help me please. I have a daymak EM2 2020 and the bike will not shut off. Have to use the breaker. U know why?? The bike runs great .
Question: my ecotric rocket is 3 years old and recently the motor always operates at approximately level 4. It has 0-5 levels. But even at level 0 it runs up to 17mph as if it's in level 4. This happened recently I believe after a rear tire change.
My custom built e bike died when I was braking the regen came on for half a second then gone I look down to a blank display it will not power on anymore the battery is fine and at about 80% -85% charge my 12v system gets it's power from the controller and all the lights work just fine. I've only done limited testing on the controller but I think it is the display because the on/off is connected to it and if turning the key off cuts power to the display then that on/off button may do the same.
Got my bike delivered 2 days ago. I rode it to work that evening a little over 2 miles. Cruised around for maybe a mile on my break. It turned on after leaving work to let my coworker test it out. Later that night, it wouldnt turn on. Then today it did. I repeated the exact same cycle as i did yesterday except i was the only one who rode it today. When i got out of work, it wouldnt turn on again...will definitely use your tips to investigate tomorrow but im lost at how i did no troubleshooting and it turned on this afternoon
I have a rear motor on my ebike. I was riding and my brake line to the back wheel snapped at the lever, then the motor stopped working. I'm going to try what you said about disconnecting break cutoffs and see if that fixes the problem... will report back...
So I followed the wire from the handle bar to the control box and disconnected the wire and IT WORKED! Thanks! I didn't even know about break sensors until now...I thought my motor went out....AWESOME
I just got a Riding Times GT73 for Christmas. I rode it a couple times and it worked great. Then when I tried riding it again the other day, the bike powers on but I cannot unlock it with the NFC key card. I’ve been searching the internet and manufacturers website and it seems no one else on the planet is having this issue. My bike is now rendered useless in my garage after riding it only twice.
Good advice. Thanks for the tips. I have a 750W BBS02 with very low miles on it (maybe between 200 and 300) that has started acting up. I'll be riding along fine and then suddenly I'm getting zero help from the motor, even when pedaling very lightly. Display reads zero watts. Then suddenly it will kick back in again. Other times the display just goes dead and motor loses all power. I try to start it up again and it often dies again before I get the password fully entered. Other times it will let me log back on and then die. Then suddenly it will be fine for several miles. Battery level doesn't seem to have much to do with it. It's done that with 90% left and down to 70% left. Anyway, I'll start following your tips and see what I come up with. Thanks again.
Hi Johnny, some good advice there. Yet although I think my issue is probably simple, I found myself without options. I have a Skott-E Sub Tour, the controller displays everything except the speed indication, so I naturally check that the magnet on the back wheel is in-line and that the battery is ok. I hang up the bike to test the speed, yet still no graphic or indication with the large speed info? The controller seems to be fine, yet wonder if an internal battery in it is low on power? Apart from this I have no idea, I also checked the wires. Any tips? 🙏
Hi Johnny. I got the isinwheel M10 Commuter Ebike only 10 days ago. My battery is fully charged, the problem is when I turn the throttle, the motor just lurches for 1-2 seconds then stops. If I get off the bike and lift the back wheel, it works fine, but when I sit on it, the motor stops after a second. I'm only 130lbs and the specs say up to 330lbs, so its not my weight. any suggestions?
Hey my battery sparked but on the other side where you you plug it in to charger Looks a bit fried now won’t go red to charge Is that a easy part to fix?
Hi Johnny I've got a Cyrusher Ranger, great bike but pedal assist has stopped working. The bike rides well on the throttle and cuts out when I pull the brakes, so thats OK but just doesn't put any power assists down when I start pedalling, I wonder if you have any idea what that could be? Thankyou Sandy
Excellent video. Leaving the battery on the bike for charging protects contacts. Chaining up the bike to stop it falling over , also protects contacts. Cheers mike
Detailed video!!! However, I have a situation I need advice on. Got a used Panasonic ebike without it's charger and wondering which connectors to use as charging points. I see: T - S C + and not sure what else to do as I have tried the + and -. Please help advise. Thanks a-bunch!!!
Mine gets error 16 so cuts when doing both breaks and it only supports in a certain gear also its a brand new bike . Replaces many things including the speed sensor and new shifters but still acts like that?
Thanks Brother ! , I'm new to e bikes had it upside down witch stopped the hydraulic front brake working and noticed a small piece tapped on the front brake lever that I took off that was the magnetic , problem solved..
Really appreciate all your videos! Not sure if you're still replying to videos, but I have a problem I have yet to see a video on. My bike has de-rated itself from 42km/h to 21km/h. Was like that for the first 500km as well. Then like a flip of a switch back to how it was. I don't know how I got it to go fast the first time, it just kind of did it on its own. Messed with display settings to try and get it back with no luck. Controller, display and motor inside all look good to me. Any ideas?
I bought an e-bike with the same interface about 9 months ago and recently it randomly stopped going full speed of 50km/h and only reaches a top speed of 24.5 km/h. What could have caused that and what can be done to repair it? I tried to reach the company but didn't have any success. They stated that I needed to reset the bike and gave me reset instructions that didn't work. I found a video on YT instructions for a reset which worked to reset the bike but the speed problem remains the same. Any suggestions? Thank you!
My Ancheer electric bike will give me assist for a few moments and then shut itself off. Please advise soonest as I’m missing out on all the beautiful weather,,!,
Hey, I have an Oraimo scrmabler 100 and it was working perfectly. I turned it on for a second and the screen went off, I thought it was dead and charged it back up and it wont come one at all. Looked at all the cables and wires and connetors and it looks good. any advice
I have a yose power with an error 09 and have replaced the display still the same. I’m going to wait until weekend until I start breaking down the kit.
Thank you 👍My issue might be severed cord. It seems only the black outer covering is cut in three places. I don't know how that could have happened but that cord seems responsible for my front break. My problem is that the wheels don't move as easily as before and the pedal assist isn't as strong as it was, as well as the throttle slows to a stop. When the wheels kind of lock and are hard to turn, the assist doesn't work and sometimes it works suddenly causing it to jerk. I wonder who I can take my bike to to look at it. Are there places that take care of bikes?
Great video. Hi I'm Lg. . I have a Haoqi H1000. My voltmeter says 52 but the button on the battery that shows how much power high and low is not working ... Is the battery good but that power light stopping the bike from getting power. Please any suggestions
Is it easy to change a hail long 20ahn cradle replacement ! Got same connectors only worry about connecting to main line power lines got one red wire and the normal black red connector ! For BAFANG 1400 watt midrive BBSHD Same as the original it came with ! If possible what is the red one with no connector please ,do I rewire the red one the others have connectors ? Thank you !
A fine video Thank You Kindly - I've enjoyed my Swagton for 1 year yet after slightly adjusting the hand brake it has show no power what so ever the past 6 months, What adjustment should I make to the Brake Connections to correct, Thank You.
It woukd be nice if he responded. . Did you figure out the issue because I think I may have the same problem but idk. Showing an error code 10. Bike will not go and also my head light is out. Leading me to think it is the controller
My issue is the pedal assist surges, this started just recently. I bought bike new last year but when using full throttle mode, runs smooth. I have not unplugged brake sensors yet.
I read a comment that said the problem could be faulty wiring in the battery however the bike ran perfectly for over a hundred miles before this happened.. I've been checking wires and other things and I discovered a sensor on the crank I'm guessing controls the on/off when peddling or not so my next question is should it be freely riding or should it be in some way held in place
Hi, I bought a battery and charger for a pre-owned Geliesen Ebike. When I received the battery, the bottom doesn’t have the pin connectors. It’s just metal on the bottom. Is it possible to still use the battery with this bike?
Hahaha. I found your video by looking up how to start my Speedrid e-bike. Turns out they preinstalled the battery too high. Had to take it out and reseat it into the connector. Eureka!
Help...Brake light wont come on even with headlight on. Error 25 came up for just a second then went away and we noticed the rear brake light didnt work at all. I checked the wires into the brake light and also unplugged all the brake light Leeds and put them back on, still not working. Bike runs great with no error code now but brake activation or headlight turned on there still is no NO BRAKE LIGHT Thoughts? Guess I need to see if the brake light itself went out.. Himiway Bike has 5 hours max on it... The nubbies are still on the tires.
Well I did a volt check to the rear light and NO POWER. Again checked all the leads and all connection pins look good... Himiway wants a video of the problem. I think this is their way to make me go away.... Why a video, brake light doesnt work when brakes are applied or when headlight is on. Give my a solution to the problem or another place to look!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey John, I have a question. can l replace any lcd display with throttle on my ebike? My ebikes now doesnt have throttle. i want to upgrade and put throttle on it. is there any points you can give me before doing the upgrade? last thing, changing my display will it affect my controller?
Not just any display with work. You will need to make sure it’s compatible with your controller first. If you bought it complete. Ask the manufacturer (brand) what options you have. Replacing controllers can be a headache especially if the brand is not helpful.
Hi. I'm having trouble with my fuell flluid-1s. Belt drive ebike. The company haven't been able to help me with the issue. I think the chain ring bolt might be lose? The pedal crank has about 1/4 inch of slack on mostly the right pedal when it's at the highest postion. It's this way with or with out the motor turn on. And pedal it backwards there a light blockage of some kind. It pedals past the blockage but it's there. Any suggestions? Thanks. Steve
Hi. Maybe you can help me troubleshoot. I have a converted e-trike with an MXUS motor hub that uses a 52v battery. Recently, any time I'd ride it, the e-trike turns itself off, then I turn it back it turns off again, then I turn it back on but won't come on unless I press the button 10x. Then it will come back on but none of the sensors work, then it just dies completely. To get it to remotely work again, I have to unplug the battery then replug it in, but it will not stay on long. The batteries are still good, (trust me, I spent $600 on a brand new battery and it's still doing that), they're fully charged, the voltage is fine, and so far the shop that did the conversions have found nothing wrong with it and it works PERFECTLY fine when they use it, but it immediately starts doing it to me when I bring it home. I tend to ride it at max speed, but this has never happened before, and even when it's not max speed it still does it. Is it something wrong with the hub, the motor, the display, the wiring? I need help figuring this out because this trike is my ONLY mode of reliable transportation.
Thank I was having problems today I fixed my popped tire once then went for a ride and bike stopped running I seen ur vid and it was the disk brake then once I fix that I get on n my tire popped again
Hi , New Subscriber here ! I just acquired a older Giant Twist with a 26 volt front hub motor . It's battery is bad for sure but may have some other issues . Instead of spending $500 on a new 26 v , may I use a 24 or 36 volt battery instead ?
What if the key lock component is housed separately such that when the top cover four screws are removed, the key lock component is residing in a separate compartment housed in plastic cover adjacent to the main plastic casing? And battery is slided into the battery holder bracket of the ebike?
Hi Jonnie.i dont no if you can help me with 1thing, i have a bafang batteri .to a 750 whatt motor, and when i shall charge it and i connect the into the batteri it spark, just a small one.

Hi Bud, just subscribed to your channel here’s a good one for you, I was replacing the crank bearings in my Giant Stance E+1 all good then I noticed that the positive & negative connection to the motor had a small amount of corrosion starting not bad but decided to change it. Unfortunately I cut across both wires at the same time there was a short across the cable’s ( not connected to battery ) didn’t release the motor must hold a small charge. Now when all reassembled the bike trying to go but stops after a second or so what will I have blown up inside the motor, disassembled can’t see anything burnt or melted really annoyed with my ignorance.🤨
One of the contact points on my cradle is mostly burned away with even the plastic surrounding it being deformed. Is it possible to buy a new contact point or if not, perhaps just the cradle itself? Thanks
morning nerd out guy! Question, bought bike (ecotric) w/fat tires (about $800 model - never ridden the bike, the battery was fully charged from the box - and will show fully charged when on charger - take it off the charger and it shows nothing - the display on the handle bar will not come on - think its a bad battery?
I have Raleigh Stow E Way. There's something up with the power, it comes on then it stops afrer about 30 secs and sometimes it won't come on at all. Was this the same problem you had?

I've only done limited testing on the controller but I think it is the display because the on/off is connected to it and if turning the key off cuts power to the display then that on/off button may do the same.
Got my bike delivered 2 days ago. I rode it to work that evening a little over 2 miles. Cruised around for maybe a mile on my break. It turned on after leaving work to let my coworker test it out. Later that night, it wouldnt turn on. Then today it did. I repeated the exact same cycle as i did yesterday except i was the only one who rode it today. When i got out of work, it wouldnt turn on again...will definitely use your tips to investigate tomorrow but im lost at how i did no troubleshooting and it turned on this afternoon
Thanks!
I have a rear motor on my ebike. I was riding and my brake line to the back wheel snapped at the lever, then the motor stopped working. I'm going to try what you said about disconnecting break cutoffs and see if that fixes the problem... will report back...
So I followed the wire from the handle bar to the control box and disconnected the wire and IT WORKED! Thanks! I didn't even know about break sensors until now...I thought my motor went out....AWESOME
I can turn on my ebike, the screen is on, but when I pedal there is no power and the screen turn to error 03. Maybe same problem as yours.
really good video! Thanks! i have the electra townie 7d step thru and i have the 3 red leds lights flashing.
any idea?
I just got a Riding Times GT73 for Christmas. I rode it a couple times and it worked great. Then when I tried riding it again the other day, the bike powers on but I cannot unlock it with the NFC key card. I’ve been searching the internet and manufacturers website and it seems no one else on the planet is having this issue. My bike is now rendered useless in my garage after riding it only twice.
Hi thanks for your help.i have and ebake but when it start after a minute it get off alone like the battery goes flat at one
Thanks it is a PA and Throttle. Battery is brand new but could have a defective cell. If the controller easy to check?
Thanks alot ! This video helped me fix the motor issue
3 minutes 38 seconds in and my bike is fixed! Thanks so much!
Good advice. Thanks for the tips. I have a 750W BBS02 with very low miles on it (maybe between 200 and 300) that has started acting up. I'll be riding along fine and then suddenly I'm getting zero help from the motor, even when pedaling very lightly. Display reads zero watts. Then suddenly it will kick back in again. Other times the display just goes dead and motor loses all power. I try to start it up again and it often dies again before I get the password fully entered. Other times it will let me log back on and then die. Then suddenly it will be fine for several miles. Battery level doesn't seem to have much to do with it. It's done that with 90% left and down to 70% left. Anyway, I'll start following your tips and see what I come up with. Thanks again.
Sounds like a connection issue. Keep in mind that “connection” could be a wire going to the controllers board which is not really serviceable.
Hi Johnny, some good advice there. Yet although I think my issue is probably simple, I found myself without options.
I have a Skott-E Sub Tour, the controller displays everything except the speed indication, so I naturally check that the magnet
on the back wheel is in-line and that the battery is ok. I hang up the bike to test the speed, yet still no graphic or indication
with the large speed info? The controller seems to be fine, yet wonder if an internal battery in it is low on power?
Apart from this I have no idea, I also checked the wires.
Any tips? 🙏
Hi Johnny. I got the isinwheel M10 Commuter Ebike only 10 days ago. My battery is fully charged, the problem is when I turn the throttle, the motor just lurches for 1-2 seconds then stops. If I get off the bike and lift the back wheel, it works fine, but when I sit on it, the motor stops after a second. I'm only 130lbs and the specs say up to 330lbs, so its not my weight. any suggestions?
That Jamis on your website looks so nice. Added to my cart I may pull the trigger.
Hey my battery sparked but on the other side where you you plug it in to charger
Looks a bit fried now won’t go red to charge
Is that a easy part to fix?
Same happened to me did you fix this.
@@dhilburn05 ya man
It ended up being a burnt fuse
Costed next to nothing to fix
You should plug into your battery first, then plug the charger into the wall/ power source, it will prolong the life of your battery
Hi Johnny
I've got a Cyrusher Ranger, great bike but pedal assist has stopped working. The bike rides well on the throttle and cuts out when I pull the brakes, so thats OK but just doesn't put any power assists down when I start pedalling, I wonder if you have any idea what that could be?
Thankyou
Sandy
Pedal assist sensor or controller likely
Excellent video.
Leaving the battery on the bike for charging protects contacts.
Chaining up the bike to stop it falling over , also protects contacts.
Cheers mike
water is in the controller the red light is on what to do
Ithink that there is water in the controller
😊
😊
Red light is on
Detailed video!!!
However, I have a situation I need advice on. Got a used Panasonic ebike without it's charger and wondering which connectors to use as charging points. I see: T - S C + and not sure what else to do as I have tried the + and -.
Please help advise.
Thanks a-bunch!!!
Mine gets error 16 so cuts when doing both breaks and it only supports in a certain gear also its a brand new bike . Replaces many things including the speed sensor and new shifters but still acts like that?
Thanks Brother ! , I'm new to e bikes had it upside down witch stopped the hydraulic front brake working and noticed a small piece tapped on the front brake lever that I took off that was the magnetic , problem solved..
Hi got hitway evoke and the battery sign is up and checked all connections ran through your video any ideas greatly appreciated
Battery does not turn on but power going to the reader & motor. !! 1 red 3 green when holding the power button but lights out when released. Help !!
Thanks bruv for the thought my battery was a little loose and i pushed it back in and she sparked right up
Really appreciate all your videos! Not sure if you're still replying to videos, but I have a problem I have yet to see a video on. My bike has de-rated itself from 42km/h to 21km/h. Was like that for the first 500km as well. Then like a flip of a switch back to how it was. I don't know how I got it to go fast the first time, it just kind of did it on its own. Messed with display settings to try and get it back with no luck. Controller, display and motor inside all look good to me. Any ideas?
I’d do a firmware refresh (assuming you have a Bafang bbsxx?)
I bought an e-bike with the same interface about 9 months ago and recently it randomly stopped going full speed of 50km/h and only reaches a top speed of 24.5 km/h.
What could have caused that and what can be done to repair it?
I tried to reach the company but didn't have any success. They stated that I needed to reset the bike and gave me reset instructions that didn't work. I found a video on YT instructions for a reset which worked to reset the bike but the speed problem remains the same.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
My Ancheer electric bike will give me assist for a few moments and then shut itself off. Please advise soonest as I’m missing out on all the beautiful weather,,!,
Bad battery, controller or connection is where I would be focusing
Thanks so much.Very infomative about ebike battery chargers
Hey, I have an Oraimo scrmabler 100 and it was working perfectly. I turned it on for a second and the screen went off, I thought it was dead and charged it back up and it wont come one at all. Looked at all the cables and wires and connetors and it looks good.
any advice
Put a multimeter on your battery. Make sure it’s good and all the physical switches and fuses are good.
Thank you so much one of my cables was unhooked
I have a yose power with an error 09 and have replaced the display still the same. I’m going to wait until weekend until I start breaking down the kit.
Great vid, Good idea to check the screws on battery one fell out on mine lucky I seen it and another was loose,
Thank you 👍My issue might be severed cord. It seems only the black outer covering is cut in three places. I don't know how that could have happened but that cord seems responsible for my front break. My problem is that the wheels don't move as easily as before and the pedal assist isn't as strong as it was, as well as the throttle slows to a stop. When the wheels kind of lock and are hard to turn, the assist doesn't work and sometimes it works suddenly causing it to jerk.
I wonder who I can take my bike to to look at it. Are there places that take care of bikes?
Great video. Hi I'm Lg. . I have a Haoqi H1000. My voltmeter says 52 but the button on the battery that shows how much power high and low is not working ... Is the battery good but that power light stopping the bike from getting power. Please any suggestions
Is it easy to change a hail long 20ahn cradle replacement ! Got same connectors only worry about connecting to main line power lines got one red wire and the normal black red connector ! For BAFANG 1400 watt midrive BBSHD Same as the original it came with ! If possible what is the red one with no connector please ,do I rewire the red one the others have connectors ? Thank you !
my batterie is charged and the display turned on, When I took it out today the display would not turn on and the battery would not kick in.
A fine video Thank You Kindly - I've enjoyed my Swagton for 1 year yet after slightly adjusting the hand brake it has show no power what so ever the past 6 months, What adjustment should I make to the Brake Connections to correct, Thank You.
It woukd be nice if he responded. . Did you figure out the issue because I think I may have the same problem but idk. Showing an error code 10. Bike will not go and also my head light is out. Leading me to think it is the controller
My issue is the pedal assist surges, this started just recently. I bought bike new last year but when using full throttle mode, runs smooth. I have not unplugged brake sensors yet.
hi Johnny I have a A1 ebike from Zhsydz where could I get a controller for the battery
I read a comment that said the problem could be faulty wiring in the battery however the bike ran perfectly for over a hundred miles before this happened.. I've been checking wires and other things and I discovered a sensor on the crank I'm guessing controls the on/off when peddling or not so my next question is should it be freely riding or should it be in some way held in place
Hi, I bought a battery and charger for a pre-owned Geliesen Ebike. When I received the battery, the bottom doesn’t have the pin connectors. It’s just metal on the bottom. Is it possible to still use the battery with this bike?
Exploded view diagram for swagtron eb6 hub motor/axel?
Hahaha. I found your video by looking up how to start my Speedrid e-bike. Turns out they preinstalled the battery too high. Had to take it out and reseat it into the connector. Eureka!
Help...Brake light wont come on even with headlight on. Error 25 came up for just a second then went away and we noticed the rear brake light didnt work at all. I checked the wires into the brake light and also unplugged all the brake light Leeds and put them back on, still not working. Bike runs great with no error code now but brake activation or headlight turned on there still is no NO BRAKE LIGHT Thoughts? Guess I need to see if the brake light itself went out.. Himiway Bike has 5 hours max on it... The nubbies are still on the tires.
Well I did a volt check to the rear light and NO POWER. Again checked all the leads and all connection pins look good... Himiway wants a video of the problem. I think this is their way to make me go away.... Why a video, brake light doesnt work when brakes are applied or when headlight is on. Give my a solution to the problem or another place to look!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, just a little info went a long way.
Hey John, I have a question. can l replace any lcd display with throttle on my ebike? My ebikes now doesnt have throttle. i want to upgrade and put throttle on it. is there any points you can give me before doing the upgrade? last thing, changing my display will it affect my controller?
Not just any display with work. You will need to make sure it’s compatible with your controller first. If you bought it complete. Ask the manufacturer (brand) what options you have. Replacing controllers can be a headache especially if the brand is not helpful.
Hi. I'm having trouble with my fuell flluid-1s. Belt drive ebike. The company haven't been able to help me with the issue. I think the chain ring bolt might be lose? The pedal crank has about 1/4 inch of slack on mostly the right pedal when it's at the highest postion. It's this way with or with out the motor turn on. And pedal it backwards there a light blockage of some kind. It pedals past the blockage but it's there. Any suggestions? Thanks. Steve
Hi. Maybe you can help me troubleshoot.
I have a converted e-trike with an MXUS motor hub that uses a 52v battery. Recently, any time I'd ride it, the e-trike turns itself off, then I turn it back it turns off again, then I turn it back on but won't come on unless I press the button 10x. Then it will come back on but none of the sensors work, then it just dies completely. To get it to remotely work again, I have to unplug the battery then replug it in, but it will not stay on long.
The batteries are still good, (trust me, I spent $600 on a brand new battery and it's still doing that), they're fully charged, the voltage is fine, and so far the shop that did the conversions have found nothing wrong with it and it works PERFECTLY fine when they use it, but it immediately starts doing it to me when I bring it home.
I tend to ride it at max speed, but this has never happened before, and even when it's not max speed it still does it. Is it something wrong with the hub, the motor, the display, the wiring? I need help figuring this out because this trike is my ONLY mode of reliable transportation.
great video. very helpful.
Do you recommend connector cleaner for the cables? WD40?
Dialectric grease
JohnnyNerdOut WOW this video saved me the first thing I tried (brake cable not aligned properly on handlebars) saved me thank you so much!
Thank I was having problems today I fixed my popped tire once then went for a ride and bike stopped running I seen ur vid and it was the disk brake then once I fix that I get on n my tire popped again
Hi , New Subscriber here ! I just acquired a older Giant Twist with a 26 volt front hub motor . It's battery is bad for sure but may have some other issues . Instead of spending $500 on a new 26 v , may I use a 24 or 36 volt battery instead ?
You “should” be able to. Check the controller for the voltage range it will accept
What if the key lock component is housed separately such that when the top cover four screws are removed, the key lock component is residing in a separate compartment housed in plastic cover adjacent to the main plastic casing? And battery is slided into the battery holder bracket of the ebike?
Hi Jonnie.i dont no if you can help me with 1thing, i have a bafang batteri .to a 750 whatt motor, and when i shall charge it and i connect the into the batteri it spark, just a small one. Any why when i connect the wall socket first, then nothing happens. Have the batteri for s year now, happy if you can give mer a tip,whats going on.Ian from Sweden😁🇸🇪
Hi Bud, just subscribed to your channel here’s a good one for you, I was replacing the crank bearings in my Giant Stance E+1 all good then I noticed that the positive & negative connection to the motor had a small amount of corrosion starting not bad but decided to change it. Unfortunately I cut across both wires at the same time there was a short across the cable’s ( not connected to battery ) didn’t release the motor must hold a small charge. Now when all reassembled the bike trying to go but stops after a second or so what will I have blown up inside the motor, disassembled can’t see anything burnt or melted really annoyed with my ignorance.🤨
Happens all the time! Don’t feel too bad. Might have burnt your controller possibly.
I have a problem with headlights can be brushless? All contacts and connections are ok cables no damages
One of the contact points on my cradle is mostly burned away with even the plastic surrounding it being deformed. Is it possible to buy a new contact point or if not, perhaps just the cradle itself?
Thanks
My electric xp 3.0 keeps shutting off, what's the problem
Would you be able to help me open up a Bafang M620 and grease the gears?
This is super helpful!! Thank you very much, from New Zealand!!!
morning nerd out guy! Question, bought bike (ecotric) w/fat tires (about $800 model - never ridden the bike, the battery was fully charged from the box - and will show fully charged when on charger - take it off the charger and it shows nothing - the display on the handle bar will not come on - think its a bad battery?
Get a volt meter and start detective work!
2 minutes into your video and my bike is fixed! Thank you sir!!😊
I have Raleigh Stow E Way. There's something up with the power, it comes on then it stops afrer about 30 secs and sometimes it won't come on at all. Was this the same problem you had?
Thank you,you saved my day , simple but useful 👍
