It is completely normal to find electrical faults on electric bicycles, the most important thing is to determine the type of failure to quickly find the best solution. Not only is it necessary to make a good repair, but it is also necessary to do it in time.
According to most of the studies carried out by different manufacturers and user associations, most of the failures are due to a lack of good maintenance of the bicycle and are usually found in the battery or in the motor.
We must not forget that e-Bikes are still bicycles and, as such, they need to lubricate the usual mechanical elements (derailleur, chain, sprockets…) from time to time, check the condition of the brakes and periodically check both the pressure and the balance of the wheels, i.e., the usual maintenance.
Very useful tips that will help you see where those potential flaws are:
- Batteries
This is one of the fundamental parts of an electric bicycle and is responsible for providing autonomy. Most of these failures are caused mainly by improper storage or not charging them properly.
- Motors
Generally, motor problems are caused by knocks, continuous revving, excessive use or excessive speed.
- Displays
The screens or displays are the devices that provide information about the electric bicycle. Among the most common failures are not giving the correct information, continuous blinking or even turning off. An error code is usually displayed to indicate the type of error and the solution.
- Controllers
Controllers are the real heart of electric bicycles and are responsible for their correct operation. They are a watertight box containing powerful software that controls and directs the entire operation. Most failures in a controller are caused by shocks, usually after a fall.
*We recommend that you always consult the point of sale or the manufacturer.
