Bafang error code

Bafang error 28: Torque sensor start-up error

Low severity When convenient

Can I ride home with this error?

Ride with caution. Safe to pedal without assist until it is restarted correctly.

What it means

The torque sensor sets itself to zero when the bike is switched on. If the pedals are pushed at that moment, the start-up check can fail.

Likely causes

  • Pressing on the pedals while switching on

Symptoms

  • Code 28 shows after switching on
  • No or odd pedal assist

How to fix it

  1. Switch the bike off.
  2. Switch it on again without any weight on the pedals.
  3. If the code comes back, take the bike to your dealer or a Bafang service centre.
